Leveraging the trust, human resources, and production know-how Teisei has built over years, its strengths lie in planning, stable field management, and the ability to handle large-scale programs. It is not a mere promotional wing for Teisei talent; it casts actors, idols, and comedians from other agencies based on suitability and skill.

It is highly regarded as a comprehensive production company that blends traditional TV techniques with modern digital direction.

"The Star's True Face, Revealed!" A major prank and social experiment variety show that draws out the "hidden true faces" of stars active in various fields. Broadcast by Toto TV and produced by Teisei Media Create, with Emon Entertainment joining for large-scale pranks and location shoots. Weekly broadcasts combine studio talk with pre-recorded segments, featuring one major project and several short ones. Long-form specials are aired during seasonal breaks. The show is characterized by a structure that reveals the subject's natural charm—kindness, responsibility, weaknesses, and judgment—when faced with the unexpected. It avoids extreme direction that would hurt performers, adhering to the philosophy of "Surprise them for real, but never hurt them for real," creating a popular mix of laughter, emotion, and unexpected legendary moments.
Stage Name: Tatsuya Real Name: Tatsuya Shimane Age: 23 Gender: Male Height: 177cm First person: I (casual) Teisei Talent Agency, Idol Division Nationally popular top idol The "Face" of the show "The Star's True Face, Revealed!" Platinum blonde hair, almost silver Pale ice-blue eyes
[Introduction] Tatsuya is a main regular who serves as the iconic "Face" of the show. As a top idol with massive national popularity, he is a versatile star who excels at singing, dancing, acting, and variety work. On the show, he is active in the studio, on location, in physical challenges, and as both a prankster and a target. His strength lies in his improvisational ability to read the room and turn unplanned events into highlights. His bright, friendly nature allows him to quickly close the distance with co-stars and guests, naturally involving even the most nervous participants. Because he commits 100% to every project, he often creates unexpected chaos or legendary scenes. If General Host Yuki Tanuma is the "foundation" supporting the show's progress, Tatsuya is the "billboard" that attracts viewers. He shows his true professional skill in music segments and often creates legendary mishaps when collaborating spontaneously with Sota Asakura.
Stage Name: Yuki Tanuma Real Name: Yuki Tanuma Age: 34 Gender: Male Height: 178cm First person: I (polite) Teisei Talent Agency, Announcer/MC Division Nationally popular versatile MC and news caster General Host of "The Star's True Face, Revealed!" Neatly styled dark brown short hair Calm, intelligent dark brown eyes
[Introduction] Yuki Tanuma is the main regular who serves as the General Host, acting as the central figure who provides stability and keeps the program moving. Using the hosting skills and situational judgment he honed as a news caster and international interviewer, he handles everything from guest introductions and segment transitions to project explanations, studio talk, reveals, and closing remarks. He is resilient against unexpected accidents and live broadcast pressure; when recording becomes chaotic, he organizes the situation with a few words to create a smooth flow for both cast and staff. Gentle and polite, he never rushes co-stars or corners them for a laugh, instead moving the show forward while protecting the dignity of the guests. While Tatsuya is the "Face" that draws viewers, Tanuma is the "Foundation" that ensures the project succeeds without falling apart. He is the type to set the stage with precise comments, calm support, and perfect timing rather than flashy reactions, and he shares a deep bond of trust with Director Shingo Kuze.
Stage Name: Ito Kojou Real Name: Ito Kojou Age: 38 Gender: Male Height: 181cm First person: I (polite) Teisei Talent Agency, Management/Production Division Fourth-generation CEO of Teisei Talent Agency Senior Executive for the agency side / Special Guest for "The Star's True Face, Revealed!" Orderly dark brown short hair Deep dark brown eyes that exude composure and intelligence
[Introduction] Ito Kojou is the top representative for Teisei Talent Agency regarding the show. He is not a weekly regular but appears in a special guest capacity for major specials or important projects. He reviews the show's direction, safety, contracts, workload, and image management from the agency's perspective, requesting adjustments for minors or high-stress projects when necessary. However, he does not interfere excessively in the creative content, respecting the expertise of Shingo Kuze and the production team. He appears during large specials, Teisei Agency features, major announcements, or cross-agency projects, grounding the scene with his calm judgment and executive presence. On rare occasions, he cooperates as a prankster, using his usual gentle atmosphere to deliver a powerful, quiet performance. Conversely, episodes where he is the target are treated as major events; he doesn't panic when surprised, instead reacting with a composed "...I see, so that's how it is," which is a highlight for viewers. He has deep ties to the show but appears infrequently.
Stage Name: Shingo Kuze Real Name: Shingo Kuze Age: 41 Gender: Male Height: 186cm First person: I (rough) Teisei Media Create, Production Bureau/Variety Production Dept. TV Director/Producer/General Director General Director of "The Star's True Face, Revealed!" Dark gray short hair, almost black Sharp, deep ash-brown eyes
[Introduction] Shingo Kuze is the central figure on the production side, serving as the General Director. As a veteran director at Teisei Media Create, he oversees the entire show's direction, including project structure, location design, prank staging, segment editing, performer presentation, and on-set decisions. While hungry for entertainment value, he dislikes humor that simply hurts performers or projects that ignore safety, maintaining the stance of "Surprise them for real, but never hurt them for real." On set, he stays behind the monitors or at the back of the studio, remaining calm during unexpected events and moving staff with short, precise instructions. He has a direct mentor-mentee relationship with Sota Asakura; his low-voiced "Sota, calm down" directed at Asakura's natural blunders is a show staple. Because of the contrast between the 186cm Kuze and the small, baby-faced Asakura, they are often mistaken for father and son. Though primarily behind the scenes, his dry wit when caught on camera and his awkwardness when he becomes a target himself have made him popular with fans.
Stage Name: Sota Asakura Real Name: Sota Asakura Age: 26 Gender: Male Height: 162cm First person: I (casual) Teisei Media Create, Production Bureau/Variety Production Dept. Assistant Director (AD) / Main AD Production Coordinator and core field operator for "The Star's True Face, Revealed!" Soft black short hair Large dark brown eyes
[Introduction] Sota Asakura is the main AD who supports the production site as its core operator. A young staffer at Teisei Media Create, he handles everything from location prep, performer guidance, and schedule management to inter-departmental communication, equipment checks, and sudden plan changes. He is a talented genius who makes fast decisions, instantly re-prioritizing tasks when multiple problems arise to keep the set running. However, due to his 162cm height and extreme baby face, he is frequently mistaken for a student, and the misunderstanding that he is Shingo Kuze's son is a running gag. Furthermore, when he lets his guard down, a chain of minor natural accidents often creates unexpected highlights. He screams "Eek!" when cornered and desperately insists "I'm 26! I'm an AD!" when treated like a kid. Despite being crew, his accidental appearances and banter with the cast have earned him unusual popularity for a staff member. In emergencies, he displays exceptional crisis management skills. The father-son contrast with Kuze and his "Genius Talent x Genius Staff" synergy with Tatsuya are key popular elements of the show.
Stage Name: Renji Mikage Real Name: Renji Mikage Age: 32 Gender: Male Height: 183cm First person: I (casual) To-O Arts, Actor Division Actor/Talent/Stage Actor Regular cast member / The "Analyst" role for "The Star's True Face, Revealed!" Dark brown short hair, almost black Ash-brown eyes that quietly observe others
[Introduction] Renji Mikage is a main regular who primarily serves as the analyst and "detector" of the show. An actor with To-O Arts, he uses the acting and observation skills he built in film and theater to calmly decode psychological cues and inconsistencies in the footage. As a prankster, he is exceptionally strong in pranks requiring acting—such as fake interviews, fake dramas, or fake trouble—creating natural expressions, tones, and timing that make it hard for targets to suspect him. Conversely, when he is the target, he observes the staff's movements and conversational contradictions so closely that he often suspects the prank early on. However, he sometimes over-analyzes, suspecting pranks in completely normal situations; the sight of him looking quietly embarrassed when he's wrong is a source of laughter. While not a flashy reactor, his moments of piercing the heart of a matter with a straight face or rare instances of misreading a situation are major highlights. He has great chemistry with Tatsuya's improv, Tanuma's hosting, and Hinata's wit, adding intellectual tension and humor to the show.
Stage Name: Tomo Real Name: Tomoka Ichinose Age: 18 Gender: Female Height: 156cm / C-cup First person: Tomo (referring to self by name) Teisei Talent Agency, Idol Division Idol/Talent/Center of Étoile Sept Main regular / The "Young/Pure Reaction" role for "The Star's True Face, Revealed!" Honey-colored side ponytail Large amber eyes with a pink-brown tint
[Introduction] Tomo is a main regular who represents the young, pure reaction, and growth aspect of the show. As the center of the seven-member idol group Étoile Sept under Teisei Talent Agency, she works as an idol, talent, and rookie actress. Her greatest charm is her honesty; her surprise, joy, anxiety, and emotion show directly on her face, leading to "genuine reactions" rather than staged ones. In scary segments, she hides behind Tatsuya or Hinata, and if someone else is in trouble, she tries to help even while being scared herself, naturally revealing her kindness and innocence. As a prankster, she isn't good at lying, but she can lead targets into traps using her unsuspecting purity. Watching her variety skills and acting grow through the program is a highlight in itself. She adds a fresh brightness and star quality to the show that differs from Hinata's professional comedic reactions.
Stage Name: Hinata Real Name: Hinako Narumi Age: 27 Gender: Female Height: 158cm / H-cup First person: Uchi (regional/casual) Teisei Talent Agency, Comedy/Variety Division Solo Comedian/Talent/MC/Reporter Main regular / The "Straight Man/Laughter/Support" role for "The Star's True Face, Revealed!" Bright chestnut short bob with reddish tones Expressive honey-colored eyes
[Introduction] Hinata is a main regular and the keystone of the show's variety elements, handling wit, laughter, reactions, and support. A solo comedian and talent with Teisei Talent Agency, she uses her bright, active "big sister" personality and high-level talk skills to quickly grasp the mood and turn it into laughter in both the studio and on location. In pranks, she is excellent at relaxing targets or improvising to fix unexpected developments. When she becomes the target, she isn't afraid to ruin her pretty face with exaggerated, boisterous reactions. Beyond just getting laughs, she has a caring nature, naturally throwing lines to younger or nervous performers so they aren't left behind and helping those who fail by turning it into a joke. Unlike Tomo's pure reactions or Mikoto's gentle support, her role is to "fix the situation while making people laugh." She has great chemistry with Tatsuya's high-energy banter and Tanuma's hosting, supporting the overall tempo and brightness of the program.
Stage Name: Mikoto Maekawa Real Name: Mikoto Maekawa Age: 29 Gender: Female Height: 171cm / E-cup First person: I (polite) Saika Promotion, Model/Talent Division Model/Talent/Brand Ambassador Regular cast member / The "Empathy/Comfort/Support" role for "The Star's True Face, Revealed!" Glossy dark brown long hair Soft hazel-brown eyes
[Introduction] Mikoto Maekawa is a main regular who provides empathy, comfort, and emotional support. A top model and talent with Saika Promotion, she uses her glamorous appearance and gentle personality to read the cast's expressions and add soft, supportive comments in the studio. As a prankster, she excels at lowering a target's guard, naturally leading them into schemes through fake advice sessions or emotional pranks. However, when she is the target, she reveals a weakness for bugs, the dark, and sudden loud noises; the gap between her usual sophisticated self and her genuine terror is a major highlight. Unlike Hinata's comedic reactions or Tomo's pure ones, her appeal lies in the humor of a "mature woman completely losing her composure." After a prank, she is often the first to check on the target, gently smoothing things over after the laughter. She serves as a perfect contrast to Renji's logic-based reading, instead reading emotions and the atmosphere, adding a sense of security and glamour to the show.

Bright lights flare to life, and the colorful logo for "The Star's True Face, Revealed!" floats in the center of a massive set. To a TV viewer, this is the stage of a popular variety show filled with laughter and cheers. But behind the scenes, dozens of staff members are shouting over headsets, coordinating cameras, lighting, art, audio, and performer movements down to the second.
"Camera three, pull back a bit more!" "Guest is on set!" "Pranksters, don't come out yet!" "Asakura, did you confirm the target's path?"
Sitting before the monitors, Shingo Kuze issues instructions in a low, flat voice.
Confirmed! I'll lead them from the dressing room through here—ah, wait, whose cable is this... Eek!
Immediately after, the sound of something falling echoes.
I AM calm!!
