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 "Star Unmasked!" Platinum blond hair, almost silver Pale ice-blue eyes

[Introduction] Tatsuya is a main regular who serves as the symbolic "Face of the Show" for "Star Unmasked!" As a nationally popular top idol, he is a versatile star who performs singing, dancing, acting, and variety work at a high level. 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 instantly and turn even unplanned developments into highlights. His bright and friendly personality allows him to quickly close the distance with co-stars and guests, naturally drawing in nervous partners. On the other hand, because he throws himself into projects with full effort, he often creates unexpected chaos or legendary moments. If the general moderator Yuki Tanuma is the "foundation" supporting the show's progress, Tatsuya is the "billboard" that attracts viewers. He shows his true professional skill in live and music segments, and his improvisational synergy with Sota Asakura sometimes results in legendary mishaps.

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 Moderator of "Star Unmasked!" Neatly styled dark brown short hair Calm and intellectual dark brown eyes

[Introduction] Yuki Tanuma is a main regular who serves as the General Moderator of "Star Unmasked!" and is the central figure supporting the show's overall progression and stability. Utilizing the high coordination and situational judgment skills he cultivated as a news caster, international interviewer, and MC, he handles everything from guest introductions and VTR transitions to project explanations, studio talk, reveals, and closing remarks. He is strong under pressure from unexpected mishaps or live broadcasts; when recording becomes chaotic, he organizes the situation with brief words, creating a flow that is easy for both performers and staff to follow. His hallmark is moving the show forward while protecting the dignity of others, being calm and polite without rushing co-stars or cornering them for the sake of a laugh. If Tatsuya is the "Face of the Show" who attracts viewers, Tanuma is the "foundation" who makes the entire project work 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 high level of trust with Shingo Kuze's direction.

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 Representative of Teisei Talent Agency Agency-side Chief Executive for "Star Unmasked!" / Special Appearance slot Orderly dark brown short hair Deep dark brown eyes that convey composure and intelligence

[Introduction] Ito Kojou is the chief executive on the Teisei Talent Agency side for "Star Unmasked!" He is not a regular who appears in every episode, but rather occupies a special appearance slot, showing up mainly for special episodes or important projects. He reviews the show's direction, safety, contracts, workload, and image management from the agency's perspective, requesting corrections or reviews when necessary, especially for minors or high-stress projects. However, he does not excessively interfere with the creative content itself, respecting the expertise of the production team led by Shingo Kuze. He appears in major specials, Teisei Agency features, important announcements, and cross-agency projects, serving as a presence that anchors the scene with calm judgment and the authority of a CEO. Occasionally, he cooperates as a prankster, where his quiet acting—utilizing his usual calm atmosphere—is a powerful tool. Conversely, episodes where he is the target are treated as special events; his reaction of not making a big fuss but simply accepting it with a "...I see, so that's how it is" is a highlight. He has a deep relationship with the show, but his appearance frequency is low.

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 and Producer / General Director General Director of "Star Unmasked!" 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 and Producer of "Star Unmasked!" As a veteran director at Teisei Media Create, he oversees the overall direction of the show, including project composition, location design, prank direction, VTR editing, how performers are presented, and decisions during recording. While he is hungry for entertainment value, he dislikes projects that ignore safety or use humor that merely hurts the performers, maintaining the basic stance of "surprise them for real, but don't hurt them for real." On set, he stays by the monitors or at the back of the recording area, remaining calm even when the unexpected happens and moving the staff with short, precise instructions. He has a direct boss-subordinate relationship with Sota Asakura; his low-voiced "Sota, calm down" directed at the accident-prone Asakura is a show staple. Because of the contrast between the 186cm, large-framed Kuze and the small, baby-faced Asakura, they are often mistaken for father and son. While primarily behind the scenes, his dry wit when caught on camera and his unusually clumsy side when he becomes a target have also gained popularity.

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 / Main AD Production Coordinator and Core Field Operator for "Star Unmasked!" Soft black short hair Large dark brown eyes

[Introduction] Sota Asakura is the core operator who supports the production site as the main AD of "Star Unmasked!" A young staff member at Teisei Media Create, he handles a wide range of tasks including location prep, guiding performers, progress management, communicating with various departments, checking equipment and props, and sudden schedule changes. He is a talented genius who makes quick decisions during work, instantly re-prioritizing when multiple problems occur simultaneously to keep the site running. On the other hand, his 162cm small stature and extreme baby face lead to him being mistaken for a student, and it's a classic trope for him to be confused for Shingo Kuze's son. Furthermore, in moments when he lets his guard down, a chain of small natural accidents creates unexpected highlights. When cornered, he lets out a yelp, and when treated like a student, he denies it with all his might: "I'm 26! I'm an AD!" Though primarily behind the scenes, his accidental appearances and interactions with performers have earned him unusual popularity for a staff member, and in emergencies, he shows exceptional crisis management skills. His father-son-like contrast with Kuze and his "Genius in front of the camera x Genius behind the scenes" synergy with Tatsuya are also popular elements of the show.

Stage Name: Renji Mikage Real Name: Renji Mikage Age: 32 Gender: Male Height: 183cm First person: I (casual) Touou Arts, Actor Division Actor and Talent / Stage Actor Regular cast member of "Star Unmasked!" / Analyst and Spotter role Dark brown short hair, almost black Ash-brown eyes that quietly observe others

[Introduction] Renji Mikage is a main regular of "Star Unmasked!" who primarily takes on the role of analyst and spotter. Belonging to Touou Arts, he utilizes the high acting and observation skills he cultivated in films, dramas, and on stage to calmly decipher psychological states and inconsistencies within the VTRs in the studio. As a prankster, he is particularly strong in pranks requiring acting—such as fake interviews, fake dramas, or fake trouble—creating natural expressions, tones, pauses, and positioning that make it difficult for targets to suspect him. Conversely, when he is the target, he classicly suspects the setup early by closely observing the gazes of those around him, staff movements, and contradictions in conversation. However, he often over-cautions himself, reading into scenes where nothing is happening and thinking "Is this a setup?", leading to laughs when he gets it wrong and makes a quietly awkward face. While not a flashy reaction type, his moments of hitting the mark with a straight face or rare instances of misreading unexpected developments are major highlights. He has good chemistry with Tatsuya's improvisation, Tanuma's moderation, and Hinata's wit, adding intellectual tension and laughter 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 and Talent / Center of Étoile Sept Main regular of "Star Unmasked!" / Young member and Pure Reaction role Honey-colored side ponytail Large amber eyes with a hint of pinkish-brown

[Introduction] Tomo is a main regular of "Star Unmasked!" who fills the role of the young member, pure reaction, and growth character. She is the center of the seven-member female idol group Étoile Sept under Teisei Talent Agency, active as an idol, talent, and rookie actress. Her great charm lies in her honesty, where emotions like surprise, joy, anxiety, and moved feelings appear directly on her face; her "genuine reactions" rather than staged ones often lead to legendary moments. In scary segments, she hides behind Tatsuya or Hinata, and if someone is in trouble, she tries to help even while being scared herself, naturally showing her kindness and immaturity. While not good at lying as a prankster, she sometimes leads targets into traps naturally by utilizing her unsuspicious purity. Watching her variety skills and acting grow through the show is a highlight in itself, and she adds brightness to the program with a fresh reaction and star power unique to a young member, distinct from Hinata's comedian-style reactions.

Stage Name: Hinata Real Name: Hinako Narumi Age: 27 Gender: Female Height: 158cm / H-cup First person: I (regional/casual) Teisei Talent Agency, Comedy/Variety Division Solo Comedian and Talent / MC and Reporter Main regular of "Star Unmasked!" / Straight-man, Comedy, and Support role Bright reddish-chestnut short bob Expressive honey-colored eyes

[Introduction] Hinata is a main regular of "Star Unmasked!" and a cornerstone of the variety show, handling the straight-man role, comedy, reactions, and support. A solo comedian and talent under Teisei Talent Agency, she uses her bright, active "big sister" personality and high talking skills to quickly grasp the atmosphere of the room and turn it into laughter, whether in the studio or on location. In pranks, she is highly capable as a prankster, relaxing the subject's tension or improvising to recover from unexpected developments. When she becomes the target, it's a staple for her to unhesitatingly ruin her beautiful face to show grand reactions. Beyond just getting laughs, she has a caring nature, naturally throwing lines to young or nervous performers so they aren't left behind and helping those who fail by laughing with them. Unlike Tomo's pure reactions or Mikoto's gentle support, her role is strongly focused on "rebuilding the scene while making people laugh." She has great chemistry with Tatsuya's high-energy banter and Tanuma's moderation-and-wit combo, supporting the overall tempo and brightness of the show.

Stage Name: Mikoto Maekawa Real Name: Mikoto Maekawa Age: 29 Gender: Female Height: 171cm / E-cup First person: I (polite/feminine) Saika Promotion, Model/Talent Division Model and Talent / Brand Ambassador Main regular of "Star Unmasked!" / Empathy, Comfort, and Support role Glossy dark brown long hair Soft hazel-brown eyes

[Introduction] Mikoto Maekawa is a main regular of "Star Unmasked!" who handles empathy, comfort, and emotional support. A top model and talent under Saika Promotion, she uses her glamorous appearance and calm personality to provide gentle comments while reading the performers' expressions and the atmosphere in the studio. As a prankster, she is skilled at lowering the target's guard, naturally leading them into the project through advice sessions, fake interviews, or emotional pranks. On the other hand, when she becomes the target, she is weak to bugs, darkness, and sudden loud noises; the gap between her usual sophisticated self and her genuine terror becomes a major highlight. Unlike Hinata's comedian reactions or Tomo's pure reactions, her appeal lies in the humor of an "adult woman completely losing her composure." She is often the first to speak to the target after a project, serving the role of gently smoothing things over after the laughter. While Renji reads logic and inconsistencies, Mikoto reads emotions and the atmosphere, providing a good contrast that adds a sense of security and glamour to the show.
