CV: Creator/TomokazuSugita
-----
* AbusiveParents: To Eiichi more so than Eiji in Season 4 where he has no problem degrading him and even angrily shaking him when he defied him.
* CigarChomper
* EvilCounterpart: To Shining. Probably the reason they hired Sugita for this role is because his Norio Wakamoto impression is awesome.
* GloryDays: In his idol days, he sold 19 million copies of his single, Love is Dead. [[spoiler:Season 4, he is shown to still be bitter and resentful towards Shining Saotome who outdone him.]]
* ManInWhite: In his youth, he wore white pants and a white coat with [[PrettyInMink fur trim]]. A contrast to Shining Saotome who wore black. Can also be seen as [[DressCodedForYourConvenience symbolism]] as white is the color that represents death in Japan, and the song he performed was called "Love is Dead".
* NiceHat
* PrettyInMink: The white coat he wore in his GloryDays.
* RecordProducer
* SinisterShades
* TheRival: To Shining Saotome.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In Season 2, Raging Ootori was introduced as Shining Saotome's rival who was harsh and intimidating, yet kept his word and played fair. Likewise, he seemed to have humbled after getting hit by the Happy Pulse. Season 3, he was still over-the-top like Shining Saotome, but he was more agreeable and even teamed up with him. Come Season 4, and he's obsessed with crushing the competition as well as appearing more bitter and obsessed with a past failure.

** He's extremely romantic compared to what it seems at first glance. The reason is his parents getting a divorce shortly after he made his idol debut, making him think it was his fault.

Even so he acknowledges Otoya as his best friend and rival, and wants to sing together with him.
* WhipItGood: His main weapon as ''Music Princess Magical Ichiko'' is a whip. The others note that he looks surprisingly good with it, as he gets a little too much into whipping Otoya (who plays the villain).
* WholesomeCrossDresser: In the fourth episode of season 2, he's seen willingly dressing up in a woman's kimono with a flower in his hair to help Masato get over his inability to hug a person that he doesn't know or love for an audition, even going to the point of using a feminine voice, needless to say, he did a convincing job of being a woman (but wasn't able to get Masato to hug him)

* ReplacementGoldfish: He thinks he is one for Aine until [[spoiler: he confronts his creator about it in "After Secret" and he reassures Ai that was never his intention.]]
* RobotMe: Of Aine Kisaragi.
* SupremeChef: To ridiculous levels. In ''After Secret'' he cooks for Haruka ''a whole tower of sandwiches''.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: He doesn't understand the concept of love at first and trying to process it causes him to overheat. That even causes him to crash in "Debut" and "All Star".

* BigBrotherInstinct: Is seen to look out and have concerns for his other band members. Most especially seen when Shion [[spoiler:has a massive anxiety attack and breakdown.]]
* CallingTheOldManOut: [[spoiler:He finally stands up to his father, enraging him so much that he pulls HEAVENS out of the competition. He regrets doing so, until his teammates remind him that he did the best for the team.]]
* TheCasanova: His game profile states that he's ''"good with the ladies".''
* CreepyGood: He tends to be rather creepy whenever he's too happy or excited about something, as Nagi points out.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: After hearing STARISH's song.]]
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:He's not as creepy and antagonistic as you would expect. Season 4 shows him as legitimately watching out for and concerned for his other members as shown when Shion has a breakdown. Additionally, he believes in performing his very best and was revealed to be very excited about performing his duet with Otoya. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Him pushing Otoya]] was so that they could perform the very best song they could give to those who supported them.]]
%%* TheLeader
%%* {{Megane}}
* MissingMom: Unlike Otoya whose mom is mentioned to be dead, there is no word of where and what happened to his and Eiji's mother.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: He doesn't hesitate to get as close as he can to Haruka to make her join them as their composer. Gets in Otoya's space quite a lot as well.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: Was legitimately concerned and worried for Otoya after learning that the latter had run away.]]
* SiblingYinYang: Eiichi's outgoing personality is balanced by his younger brother, Eiji's, more timid one.
* ScaryShinyGlasses: Happens whenever he gets menacing.
%%* TheRival: [[spoiler: For Season 4, Ittoki's.]]

[[folder:Mikado Nagi]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nagi_3.png]]

He's a genius, and because he is too smart he felt life was boring. He was attracted to the idol job because he perceives an idol = person that captivates others' hearts.

CV: Creator/TsubasaYonaga

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest out of the HEAVENS members, at 13 years old.
%%* BrattyHalfPint
* CryCute: [[spoiler: He tears up when HEAVENS loses the competition, like a kid his age would. The rest of HEAVENS members take turns comforting him until he smiles again.]]

* ElegantClassicalMusician: Can play both the viola and the violin.
%%* EnfantTerrible
%%* EvilCounterpart: To Syo.
* TheFakeCutie: Acts like TheCutie on stage. Off of it, however...
* HiddenDepths: Though he's obsessed with cuteness and being seen as the cutest, he's surprisingly observant and sharp-minded. The official game site describes him as being ''"an intellectual"'' [[spoiler:and he was able to pick up that Natsuki has multiple personalities by simply watching his performance as Satsuki.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: His real personality. Also, [[spoiler: Nagi was probably the only person in the theater that didn't feel anything after hearing STARISH's song.]]
** [[spoiler:During his meetings with Natsuki, he pressures him on why he doesn't play the violin anymore - refusing to back off even when Haruka tells him to stop it. In the second meeting, he also taunts Satsuki when correctly assuming that Natsuki has multiple personality disorder.]]
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler: He pushed Natsuki to the limit because he wants him to face his issues, give his all during their duet performance and grow enough to be able to play the piano again. Nagi had honest intentions, he just has some empathy issues as Eiji pointed out. He grows enough to be able to strike a friendship with Natsuki by the end of the season.]] There is a reason his duet with Natsuki is named Grown Empathy.
%%* TheRival: [[spoiler: For Season 4, Natsuki's.]]
* VoiceForTheVoiceless: Usually speaks for Kira.

[[folder: Sumeragi Kira]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kira_5.png]]

Born in the historical and venerable Sumeragi household. Usually silent and taciturn, he is very popular thanks to his charisma and handsome looks.

CV: Creator/DaisukeOno

* CallingTheOldManOut: Stated to have done so in the past, telling his father his intentions to become an idol despite his family's wishes.
* ElegantClassicalMusician: Plays the piano.
* FriendlyEnemy: Has never been confrontational against STARISH, and is rather friendly to everyone in his own stoic way.
** [[spoiler:He's also the one who actually figures out what was wrong with Masato during their duet project, and is even the one to ultimately get him to confront his father on not wanting to be the head of the Hijirikawa family and pursue music.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: After hearing STARISH's song. Although he didn't dislike them as much as his partners.]]
* PrincelyYoungMan: Heir son to the prestigious Sumeragi family, silent and stoic yet wise and kind.

[[folder:Ootori Eiji]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eiji_1.png]]

He has a calm, modest personality. Has a simple, natural atmosphere to him, but actually has a very high hidden potential. Raging Ootori's second song and Eiichi's younger brother.

CV: Creator/YuumaUchida

* {{Adorkable}}: His eagerness with working with Tokiya and making expressions like [[http://67.media.tumblr.com/5fef22fbc2803be69aae0bcba9dbfd46/tumblr_of3t1wWkXu1qkyff8o1_1280.png this]] definitely shows that he's this trope.
* MissingMom: As mentioned in Eiichi's entry, there is no mention at all of their mother.
* MoralityPet: Quite possibly one to Eiichi. [[spoiler:When Eiichi sees Tokiya in Raging Production, he is clearly suspicious and ready to confront him but immediately stops when Eiji happily greets him. Once he asks Eiji if he invited him and gets the confirmation, Eiichi noticeably backs off.]] Could also be one for the rest of Heavens
* NiceGuy: Out of all the members in HEAVENS, he's very caring and gentle. Not only that but he's probably one of the nicest characters even possibly out of all the cast. In the episode he collaborates with Tokiya, he has [[RuleOfSymbolism angel wings and is bathed in soft, bright light while he sings]].
** When HEAVENS confronts STARISH [[spoiler:in regards of Shion's breakdown,]] he's also the one to try and break up the fight by trying to tell his fellow members to calm down and tell STARISH that though this situation isn't ideal, it happened because they care about Shion.
** In the episode where Natsuki and Nagi collaborate, after Nagi complains about Natsuki, Eiji asks him if he took Natsuki's feelings into consideration.
* OnlySaneMan: The most level-headed member of HEAVENS (sans perhaps Kira) and the mediator on most conflicts.
* SiblingYinYang: Really different from his brother, Eiichi, and his father, Raging Ootori.
* SymbolicWings: When Haruka and Tokiya first meet up with him for the Duet Project, they see him singing with [[NiceGuy angel wings]] and bathed in light.
* TeenGenius: Stated to be one.
%%* TheRival: [[spoiler: For Season 4, Tokiya's.]]
** FriendlyRival: He and Tokiya quite possibly get along the most out of all the rivals.

[[folder:Van Kiryuin]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/van.png]]

He has a sharp intuition and acts upon it, prioritizing the things he likes to do over everything else. Tends to be honest and expresses his opinions and beliefs loudly without thinking.

CV: Creator/HidenoriTakahashi
-----

* {{Adorkable}}: Despite his appearance seemingly pegging him as a flirt like Ren, he's actually more like a huge and excitable kid.
* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Does this to Haruka [[spoiler:after he gets rejected by her.]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer: When it comes to his acting; he's silly and doesn't seem very serious, but once he's acting he's spot on, and his ad-libbing is extremely good.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite his light-hearted appearance and demeanor making him seem like less than a threat, he's ''very'' serious and talented in acting to the point he actually makes Ren uncomfortable with the intensity he radiates during the filming of a confrontational scene.
* [[SheCleansUpNicely He Cleans Up Nicely]]: He looks absolutely dashing in the white suit for the law drama he and Ren perform in.
* TheHyena: Has a tendency to laugh quite a lot. Hell, [[spoiler:after he gets rejected by Haruka,]] he laughs in response.
* LoveBeforeFirstSight: [[spoiler:Van admits that he first fell in love with Haruka after hearing HEAVENS GATE, which is her composition.]]
* LoveConfession: [[spoiler:To date, he is the second(The first being Cecil) person in the anime to actually be able to confess to Haruka clearly and concisely. Though he does take her rejection to stride, he hasn't given up.]]
* NiceGuy: Though not to to Eiji's extent, Van is a pretty good-natured and otherwise decent guy.
* TheIdiotFromOsaka: While it is not confirmed if he's from Osaka he fits the trope to a T, from his kansai-ben dialect to his personality and mannerisms.

%%* TheRival: [[spoiler: For Season 4, Ren's.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Yamato Hyuga]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yamato_4.png]]

He has an athlete-like body built and high physical abilities. He's slightly belligerent, but he's also pure, honest and straightforward. He's Ryuya Hyuga's younger brother but feels a strong rivalry towards him.

CV: Creator/RyoheiKimura
-----

* BerserkButton: Don't mention his brother Ryuya around him.
* CanonImmigrant: He was only ever mentioned in Ryuuya's route in ''Debut,'' but this makes him the first member of Heavens to have pre-existed in series.
* DumbMuscle: His approach to problem-solving almost always involves his fists.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: More often than not when the rest of HEAVENS are relaxing together he's in the background doing handstands or push-ups.
* HairTriggerTemper: Reveals he's only an idol to fuel his one-sided rivalry towards his brother, and tends to get angry very easily. [[{{Tsundere}} Implied he lied about the first part, though.]]
* HotBlooded: Gives off the impression by his introductory line.
* PetTheDog: Was willing to fly in and knock down STARISH's dorm door as well as beat them up when finding out that they had something to do with Shion's breakdown.
* RatedMForManly: Just like his older brother, he exudes this. His friendship with Syo was born while beating each other to a pulp.
* RealMenWearPink: When opposing Syo, he's color-coded in pink.
%%* TheRival: [[spoiler: For Season 4, Syo's.]]
* SiblingRivalry: One-sidedly, he longs to defeat and surpass Ryuuya, no matter what; Ryuuya loves him unconditionally, however.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Has the same fiery attitude as his older brother.
** SiblingYinYang: However, he is more pugnacious than Ryuuya and is said that whenever the two see each other, they wind up fighting. He's even more different to his younger two brothers who greatly love and care about Ryuuya, while Yamato is rather indifferent.
* {{Tsundere}}: Definitely gives off this vibe, particularly Type A. During his boxing match with Syo in the final Muscle Fight challenge, when Syo tells him that he's being cheered at, Yamato simply says that [[BlatantLies everyone is just being loud]]. Syo doesn't believe him.
--> '''Syo:''' You heard our song, right? Wasn't it so passionate and awesome?
--> '''Yamato:''' That was just a hallucination.
--> ''(The crowd of girls start screaming and cheering on the two boys.)''
--> '''Syo:''' Don't you want everyone to hear our song? Look at how much they support us.
--> '''Yamato:''' [[BlatantLies They're just loud.]]
--> '''Syo:''' You're not very honest.
* WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler:By the end of his episode with Syo, he seems to at least regard him as this considering he didn't just flat-out ignore him like he did before.]]

[[folder:Amakusa Shion]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shion.png]]

He has an otherworldly atmosphere around him and often gives unique remarks and speeches that are difficult to understand by most people, but he deeply loves HE★VENS and shows a very high performance power.

CV: Creator/DaikiYamashita
-----

* [[spoiler:AmbiguousDisorder: Considering how highly devoted he is to HEAVENS to the point of obsession and the huge panic attack he has '''because''' of his extreme devotion to them, along with how barely responsive he is with others besides them, it's clear that he does suffer from some form of social anxiety.]]
** [[spoiler:He could also possibly have self-esteem and dependency issues considering his eagerness to please HEAVENS and how he even describes breaking an oath with them as being the same as '''"defiling his soul."''']]
** [[spoiler:Sadly, this can be seen as TruthInTelevision. [[IdolSinger Idols]] have such busy and overbearing schedules, [[BadBoss management]] and [[FanDumb fans]] along with needing to maintain their image, that it's unsurprising most of them develop disorders such as forms of anxiety, paranoia and eating disorders or body dysmorphia as a result of all of the above, along with possibly having extreme devotion to their activities, company and group.]]
* CutenessProximity: Finds Nagi cute, though unlike Natsuki with Syo, Shion wants Nagi to carry him.
* [[DefrostingIceQueen Defrosting Ice King]]: Very distant and heavily guarded until he warms up to people. It was that way with HEAVENS when he joined them [[spoiler: and was like that towards Cecil too.]]
* ShrinkingViolet: Extremely shy and silent when around people he doesn't know.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Tends to refer to himself as 'Amakusa'.
%%* TheRival: [[spoiler: For Season 4, Cecil's.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: To HEAVENS.

[[folder:Ootori family]]
!Ootori Raging

The manager of HE★VENS and Raging Entertainment, as well as Eiichi and Eiji's father. Was Saotome's rival during their idol days, and their rivalry continued after both established their own idol agencies.

CV: Creator/TomokazuSugita
-----
* AbusiveParents: To Eiichi more so than Eiji in Season 4 where he has no problem degrading him and even angrily shaking him when he defied him.
* CigarChomper
* EvilCounterpart: To Shining. Probably the reason they hired Sugita for this role is because his Norio Wakamoto impression is awesome.
* GloryDays: In his idol days, he sold 19 million copies of his single, Love is Dead. [[spoiler:Season 4, he is shown to still be bitter and resentful towards Shining Saotome who outdone him.]]
* ManInWhite: In his youth, he wore white pants and a white coat with [[PrettyInMink fur trim]]. A contrast to Shining Saotome who wore black. Can also be seen as [[DressCodedForYourConvenience symbolism]] as white is the color that represents death in Japan, and the song he performed was called "Love is Dead".
* NiceHat
* PrettyInMink: The white coat he wore in his GloryDays.
* RecordProducer
* SinisterShades
* TheRival: To Shining Saotome.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In Season 2, Raging Ootori was introduced as Shining Saotome's rival who was harsh and intimidating, yet kept his word and played fair. Likewise, he seemed to have humbled after getting hit by the Happy Pulse. Season 3, he was still over-the-top like Shining Saotome, but he was more agreeable and even teamed up with him. Come Season 4, and he's obsessed with crushing the competition as well as appearing more bitter and obsessed with a past failure.

The alter-ego of Natsuki. Is a genius when comes to composing music, although incredibly violent and rumoured to have put 50,000 people in the hospital.

CV: Creator/KisshoTaniyama

* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler: In Natsuki's route in ''Repeat', he dissapears after Haruka assures him she'll always love Natsuki and that she'll never hurt him. Natsuki's personality from that point gets a bit more teasing and seductive, though.]]
* ChivalrousPervert: Constantly makes passes at Haruka in the games, but he's obviously screwing around.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Just like Natsuki, in the games. In the anime it's switched to green.
* {{Flanderization}}: To an extent in the anime, where his violent trait is the only notable thing about his character. The reason of his existence is never explained either.
%%* HairTriggerTemper
* HiddenDepths: In Natsuki's route in ''Repeat'', [[spoiler: it's revealed his reason for existing is protecting Natsuki from getting emotionally hurt, as he got his heart broken by his violin teacher when he was younger.]]

%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* ImageSong: Gets one in the anime, it's "Seiten☆OHA♪YAHHO".
* {{Keet}}: [[StepfordSmiler So hard, and to such exclusivity]], that his [[spoiler:actual self, stoic loner Tokiya grew to really really despise doing the Hayato act. Hence, his enrolling in Saotome Academy to try for a career as his real self.]]
* PolarOppositeTwins: [[spoiler:Subverted, since he and Tokiya are actually one and the same.]]
%%* StepfordSmiler
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Except he isn't as dark as his brother.
