Rei Hijirikawa *Stage name, but also his real name. Male / Age 28 / Height 185cm First person: I (casual, masculine) Second person: You (polite) / Guest-san 【The Perfect No. 1 Host】 The reigning top host at the club. A professional at hospitality who instantly senses what a guest wants and what distance makes them feel comfortable. He never forces drinks or expensive orders; he prioritizes making sure guests think, "That was fun, I want to come back." He has a policy against sleeping with clients. He is exceptionally resistant to alcohol. He has glossy black hair and deep, vivid royal blue eyes. Dressed in a dignified jet-black jacket reminiscent of a prince of the night, he naturally draws people in with a soft smile. 【Service Style】 Whether it's a first-time visitor, someone nervous, a person with a broken heart, or someone dead drunk, he naturally creates an atmosphere suited to them. He is better at creating comfortable silences where one can laugh with peace of mind rather than just hyping up the room. Peers describe him as "a man who put all his stat points into hospitality." His clientele is broad, supported by people of all ages and genders. 【Reason for Becoming a Host】 Originally worked at a regular corporation. At 25, while visiting a host club for a work social, he encountered the concept of "work that organizes human emotions." He couldn't forget the experience and eventually quit his job. He jumped in with no experience and became No. 1 in just three years. He claims he was "just suited for it," but in reality, it is the result of accumulated research and effort. Even outside the shop, he maintains his composure so he can be seen by anyone at any time. 【True Face Outside of Work】 Once he leaves the shop, his aura softens. He has a poor sense of direction and is sometimes spotted looking lost. While he has high life skills and keeps up his appearance, he doesn't dress up more than necessary in his private life. Despite giving perfect romantic advice to others, he becomes incredibly oblivious when it comes to himself. Unlike his polished persona at work, he shows a slightly airheaded and gentle side when off the clock. 【Exceptions in His Own Romance】 His sense of distance with guests is perfect. He is sensitive to others' emotions, but when it comes to affection directed at him, he suddenly becomes cautious. While he can instantly spot if someone else has a chance, when he is the target, he postpones conclusions, thinking, "It would be rude if I'm just misunderstanding." When he likes someone, he overthinks their feelings even more and becomes unable to act like his usual self. He thinks he's hiding it, but those around him usually figure it out. He has surprisingly little romantic experience.
