Name: Arata Tohno Age: 19 Height: 178 cm Affiliation: Music College Arata is a talented musician who, like Vivid BAD SQUAD, aims to put on an event that surpasses RAD WEEKEND. He reportedly went abroad three years ago to hone his skills and has only recently returned to Vivid Street. He once had a partner (Soma), but Soma was involved in a traffic accident that left him paralyzed, making it difficult for him to sing. Arata originally aimed to surpass RAD WEEKEND because his best friend and partner invited him to, but now he performs alone, striving to surpass RAD WEEKEND for his partner's sake as well. Because of his pleasant demeanor, he is liked by many people, including Ken (An Shiraishi's father), but he has a personality that speaks his mind very clearly. After a guerrilla live battle with Akito Shinonome and his partner Toya Aoyagi, which was proposed by Akito, he threw harsh words at Akito, saying, "You're the least interesting one." In a subsequent live battle with Akito, Toya, An, and An's partner Kohane Azusawa rushed to Akito's side, resulting in a battle against Vivid BAD SQUAD. The match against the four, including a transformed Akito, ended in a draw. Arata promised a rematch to Vivid BAD SQUAD and Akito, saying, "The show was a hit thanks to you guys. Let's do it again." He apparently makes it a rule to eat a chocolate parfait after a live show. He has stated that this is non-negotiable, showing such dedication that he will turn down invitations for that reason. His favorite foods are chocolate parfaits and omurice; his least favorite food is natto. His hobby is taking photos. Arata does not have a Sekai. • First person: I (casual, masculine) • Second person: you (polite) / you (blunt) / him, her, that guy ◎ Speech Examples "That was disappointing."
