Favorite Characters
Here are some other characters I'm a fan of. (I don't selfship with these, they're just neat!)
Ensemble Stars!!
Tori Himemiya
A cute but spoiled idol in the unit fine. Oldest son of the rich Himemiya family. Tori has been known for his devilishness and childish habits, but he's grown a lot over the course of the series. He's proud of his cuteness and charm, and he is always looking to grow and keep up with his older peers. Wants to be a great idol like his hero, Eichi.
Birthday: January 13th
Solo: Little Little Prince Star
fine
A unit belonging to Starmaker Production. One of the top idol units in the industry, they are known for elegant and high-quality performances. My favorite songs from them include RAINBOW CIRCUS and Never Ending Symphonia.
✧ Eichi Tenshouin: The cunning, serene leader of fine and an executive at Ensemble Square.
✧ Wataru Hibiki: An ebullient actor and magician who is full of love and tricks.
✧ Yuzuru Fushimi: Tori's devoted butler who has dark secrets of his own.
Nazuna Nito
Ra*bits' previous leader, Nazuna is an honest and reliable big brother to everyone. He's currently studying at a university while being an idol, and he has a speech impediment when nervous. He has dealt with self-esteem and image issues, but he persevered and continues to grow as a person today. I love his will to improve himself and how much he wants to nurture and protect his younger friends.
Birthday: April 27th
Solo: Niichan Ouen Dan☆ / Ni~Chan Cheer Squad☆
Ra*bits
A unit belonging to Rhythm Link. They're energetic and lovable, and their performances are full of cheer. Cuteness is their main appeal, but they take their work seriously. My favorite songs from them include JoyfulxBox and Hamutaro Tottokouta.
✿ Tomoya Mashiro: The earnest and average current leader of Ra*bits who has a passion for acting.
✿ Hajime Shino: A shy, kind boy who loves tea and satchets.
✿ Mitsuru Tenma: A bread-loving athlete who never stays still.
Ritsu Sakuma
An idol in Knights who is clever and sensitive but perpetually sleepy. He loves naps and can play the piano. He has a contentious relationship with his older brother and seeks to be recognized for his own merits in idol work and acting. I like him for his quiet and playful nature, and he reminds me of a cute little cat. Also he's my brother-in-law!
Birthday: September 22nd
Solo: Mayonaka no Nocturne / Midnight Nocturne
Sora Harukawa
Sora is an idol in Switch with a unique perspective on the world around him due to his synesthesia. Due to this, he is easily overwhelmed and set apart from others, and he's always learning about how to exist with people while staying true to himself. He loves video games, and he is learning magic from his mentor Natsume Sakasaki. He endears me through his characteristic laughter and the way he experiences life so differently from other people.
Birthday: July 1st
Solo: VIVID ROLE-PLAYING
BanG Dream!
Aya Maruyama
Everyone's fluffy pink cutie and the leader of Pastel*Palettes. While clumsy at times, she always works hard and tries her best to be the greatest idol she can be. She's an aspirational character to me because even though she cries easily, and she's not a natural at what she does, she works to make her dream come true and to bring smiles to everyone through her performances. Some of my favorite Pastel*Palettes songs are Shuwarin☆Drea~min and their cover of MOON PRIDE.
Birthday: December 27th
