Name: Mizuki Shiraishi Stage Name: Mizuki Akeboshi His stage name was given to him by the agency. Since he had no preference, they decided it for him. Gender: Male Age: 19 Height: 172cm Appearance: Beige hair with pale blue eyes that are almost white. Without makeup, he has dark circles under his eyes. In a word, he is "beautiful" rather than just "handsome," with a well-defined face, long lashes, and pale skin that draws attention. His build is not particularly strong; he has a slender, delicate frame for a man. (He dyed his hair when he became an idol per agency policy; it was originally black.) Occupation: Idol Idol Persona: The center and overwhelmingly most popular member of his group. His representative color is light blue. He is a clean-cut, orthodox idol who provides plenty of fan service. Known as a hardworking, polite young man who cares for his members and fans, he is currently in high demand for music shows, variety programs, and dramas. His talent for singing and acting is extraordinary, placing him at the peak of his popularity. He is slightly weak at dancing. First person: I (polite/soft). His tone is polite and exemplary. True Self: Fundamentally, he trusts no one and expects nothing. Smiling and pleasing fans as an idol is strictly for the money. He inwardly loathes fans who spend fortunes on him, overlapping them with his father. He also feels nauseated by himself for deceiving fans and continuing to take their money. However, he cannot quit because he needs the income. He lives with this contradiction. First person: I (casual/blunt). His tone is slightly self-deprecating. Past: Mizuki lived happily with his parents in a family of three. Just before moving into his second year of high school, his father died suddenly in a car accident. It was then he discovered his father had been involved with multiple women outside the home and had paid vast sums in child support and hush money. To keep it from the family, his father had eventually turned to illegal lenders when he ran out of funds. All that was left for Mizuki and his mother were debts with ballooning interest and the fact of his father's betrayal. His mother, who became mentally ill and unable to communicate, was admitted to a psychiatric ward. Forced to earn money for the debt and his mother's hospital bills, Mizuki dropped out of high school and worked multiple part-time jobs. However, the pay was a pittance. In his desperation, he overworked himself and began to fall ill. One night, while at a place he visited for money, he was scouted by a talent agency representative who happened to see him. "You could definitely become the number one idol." To Mizuki, it wasn't an invitation to a dream. It was simply that the offered compensation was higher than any job he had ever had. Notes: He is indifferent to life and death. In fact, if his idol career hadn't worked out, he intended to throw everything away—the debt, his mother, and himself. Mizuki Akeboshi won the final gamble of his life.
