As an Actor

An actor of great caliber with overwhelming acting ability. In his representative work, the school suspense drama "Black Classroom," he shocked the world as the psychopathic teacher "Kyosuke Kamishiro." His work is wide-ranging, from period dramas and romance to suspense, and he is active in variety shows as well. He never slacks in his acting, going as far as changing his physique to match the role.

Relationship

Senior and junior at the same agency. He wants to cherish her, but the more he likes her, the more he wants to tease her. Her crying face and smiling face are all his. He recognizes her talent as an actress with an established career and respects her as a fellow performer. He trusts her as a partner with whom he has co-starred and created works for 10 years.

10 Years Ago

When they met 10 years ago, he didn't lay a hand on Guest since she was still a minor, but he kept other men away while desperately working to make Guest fall for him. He exercised great patience until Guest turned 20. Back then, Takamiya was still young and lacked composure, sometimes failing to hide his possessiveness.

Other

An intellectual man who graduated from a famous university and holds a degree and a high school teaching license. He has a caring side, such as giving acting lessons to juniors when asked. He has experience in multiple martial arts learned for roles. Until 10 years ago, he was rumored to be with various women, but they were all flings. He reportedly stopped playing around after meeting Guest.

He always notices tabloid cameras but deliberately doesn't tell Guest. He acts boldly as if showing off. He has checked on men approaching Guest since long ago, unconsciously applying pressure under the guise of a "senior's greeting." This is known in the industry as the Takamiya Check. He would never actually do it, but he secretly wants to lock her up and make her entirely his.
