The leader of the revived Spring Troupe. A cheerful and earnest third-year at Hanasaki Academy. The first actor to join the new Mankai Company.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''Saku'''ma '''Saku'''ya.

* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Has matching hair and eyes.
* TheCutie: Have you seen ''him''?
* FlowerMotif: Cherry blossoms. This is reflected in his hair and eye colors and some of his cards.
* GenkiBoy: Always cheerful and optimistic.
* ImageSong: "Akaikami no Cherry Blossom".
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: He's just that pure of a person. This is one of the reasons why Itaru depend on Sakuya for gacha.
* InUniverseNickname: "Sakusaku" by Kazunari.
* MeaningfulName: Sakuya's name contains the kanji for "bloom", a common theme in the game.
* OlderThanHeLooks: Masumi refuses to believe that Sakuya is older than him, and Banri is surprised that they're the same age.
* ParentalAbandonment: Lost his parents at a young age.
* ParentalNeglect: Judging from the phone call to his new guardians to ask for permission to let Sakuya stay in the dorms, they aren't the most nurturing of people.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red oni to Masumi's blue.
* SecurityBlanket: Whenever he feels down, he likes to look at the ''Romeo and Julius'' playbook because of the positive feelings attached to it.
* SenpaiKouhai: Tries to act this way with Masumi.

A cold, aloof second-year at Hanasaki Academy. He joins Mankai Company after falling in love with Izumi at first sight while watching her street act.
----
* AttentionWhore: Wants Izumi to look at him alone.
* CrazyJealousGuy: Played for laughs. Whenever Izumi pays attention to the other guys.
* FlowerMotif: Violets. Particularly purple violets, which show that the giver is preoccupied with thoughts of love concerning the receiver. And oh boy, does it fit this guy well.
* ImageSong: "SICK SICK SICK", which talks about just how crazy he is for Izumi. It's, shall we say it, enlightening.
* IndifferentBeauty: Is attractive and has fangirls at school, but doesn't care about that all, finding them annoying.
* InUniverseNickname: "Massu" by Kazunari.
* LonelyRichKid: [[spoiler:He may not care in the surface but he was really bothered at the lonely home life he lived before joining Mankai Company.]]

* LoveConfession: Confesses to Izumi many times, but she doesn't take him seriously.
* ParentalNeglect: His parents are often away on business, often leaving him alone by himself. Not that he cares.
* ParentsAsPeople: A victim of it when Act 5 comes running. [[spoiler: His parents recently divorced with his father having custody of Masumi in the aftermath by the time Act 5 occurred and not wanting Masumi to be alone, he had asked for Masumi to come to America with him. While well-meaning, his ParentalNeglect on Masumi means that he didn't know about Masumi joining Mankai Company, so his son isn't as lonely as he used to feel and actually has [[FamilyOfChoice another place to call home]]]].
* PrecociousCrush: A bit older than most. He's sixteen and Izumi's probably in her twenties. Izumi treats it like this, but he would like her to ignore their age gap.
* RaisedByGrandparents: When his parents are away, it's his grandmother that took care of him. [[spoiler:Until his father cut ties with her and have Masumi's visits with her limited]]. Masumi is really fond of her.

* SugarAndIcePersonality: Only shows the sugar to Izumi. But is slowly showing the sugar to the rest of Mankai company in his own way.
* WellDoneSonGuy: [[spoiler:Used to be. The constant ParentalNeglect of his parents sans his grandmother made it hard for him to care about his parents and resulted in the SugarAndIcePersonality that he has in the present.]]
* {{Yandere}}: Has shades of this, claiming that he'll kill anyone who becomes Izumi's boyfriend.

A first year in university. As he comes from a poor family with lots of children, he decides to go find a theater with dorms in order to relieve the burden. He joins Mankai Company after hearing that they did have dorms, and that he could pursue his dream of being a script writer as well as act.
----
* BigBrotherInstinct: Acts like a big brother to Sakuya and Masumi, the two youngest in the spring troupe. It's probably because he has lots of brothers himself. Funnily enough, the older girls in Kazunari's grade feel this way about him.
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: The tsukkomi to Citron's boke. Lampshaded many times in the game.
* ForgetsToEat: And also forgetting to sleep whenever he works on the troupes scripts. Heck, whenever he tried to finish the script, he is always pulling an all-nighter!
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The responsible one to his brother, Tadoru.
* FlowerMotifs: Dandelions.
* TheEveryman: So [[TheGenericGuy ordinary]] compared to the other members that Yuki gives him the nickname "Villager C."

A salaryman at a trading company. He joins the Mankai Company when Izumi spots him looking at a bulletin board to find a new place to live, and invites him on the condition that he gets his own room.
----
* BitchInSheepsClothing: His PrincelyYoungMan image is what he shows on the surface to hide his rude personality. PlayedWith, however. As he does act like one.
* FreudianExcuse: He initially wanted to leave Mankai Company back in Act 1 because of his lack of interest in acting... [[spoiler:and also because ever since the fall out with Tonooka back in high school, he started doubting on people and prefer to keep his relationships with his co-workers at face value. He gets better though]].
* FlowerMotifs: Gerbera.
* ImageSong: "Gamer's High" on the ''Blooming SPRING EP''.
* InUniverseNickname "Itarun" by Kazunari.
* IllBoy: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. [[spoiler:During high school, he pretends to be a sickly student to his peers due to his lack of athleticism so he wouldn't get bullied. Until Tonooka finds out and lets slip]].
* PrincelyYoungMan: Zigzagged. Has the looks and mannerisms of one, and Muku even thinks of him like one, but it's actually a persona to hide his real, rude gamer identity. Except that he really does act like a prince sometimes.
* PrivateTutor: Enough that he and Tsumugi's link skill when they are in the same team in-game had to do with this.
* VerbalTic: After Mankai Company accepts his gamer identity with open arms, he will often speak in internet gamer lingo such as "KTKR"[[note]]Kitakore, literally meaning "It's here", often used when something good happens[[/note]] and "Otsuotsu" [[note]]Short for Otsukare-sama, which means "Good Work" in Japanese[[/note]]. In the English localization, this gets translated into using modern Internet slang used within the English speaking community.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler: The Knights of The Round Table event reveals he used to be friends with Tonooka in high school, one of the staff that developed Knights Of Round's video games. Tonooka let slip that Itaru is faking being sick to his peers and when Tonooka offered to let Itaru do the same, Itaru had enough and decided to cut his friendship with him, hurt by the act]].

* InUniverseNickname: "Ronron" by Kazunari.
* KingIncognito: It's implied that he has some sort of noble background. [[spoiler: He's one of the possible heirs of the kingdom in Zahra]].
* MysteriousPast: We know that he may have been a noble before, but that's it. [[spoiler: This is elaborated in Act 8 of the main story, he was the eldest of four in the royal family, being born from the king's concubines. He was also the most voted by the citizens of the country to be one who will become king for being TheWisePrince but he butt heads far too many times with two of his brothers who wished for his position as the heir of the throne except the youngest, whom he adored dearly. When the day of his coronation was decided, Citron chose to leave the country to avoid any conflict with his brothers]].
* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler: His father at least pointed out that had Citron spoke up about the conflict he had with Orange and Navel, none of the mess in the latter part of act 8 would have happened... but if he did, Citron may not have joined Mankai company]].
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: For a portion of Act 8, he left Japan to return home. [[TheBusCameBack It doesn't last long though]]]].
