| 10 | !!In General |
| 11 | * DarkerAndEdgier: They're considered to be the brightest group of the lot, but their song for [=BĻACK OR WHiTE=] 2019 has them going up against ZOOL with "[=Mr.AFFECTiON=]", a gritty electropop track that takes influences from dubstep. It still has their trademark idealistic lyrics however, so it's not all dark. |
| 12 | * LighterAndSofter: ''The'' most idealistic group of the lot, with a heavy pop vibe and optimistic lyrics. Even when they go DarkerAndEdgier, they don't quite give up their idealism. |
| 13 | * NumericalThemeNaming: They run the gamut from 1 to 7, evidenced by how their names have the numerical Kanji in them. |
| 14 | * ThePowerOfFriendship: What eventually drives them to work together. They have their differences and conflicts, but ultimately their strong friendship that builds over the course of the game allows them to achieve their dreams ''together''. |
| 15 | * RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Probably the most varied group out of the four. The group consists of: a snarky perfectionist who is insistent on his dislike of cute things, an aloof MasterActor who has some major issues with his past, the perfectionist's grinder of an older brother who has some issues with his height, a lazy dancing genius who only seems to be focused on his love of pudding, a gentle soul who can easily turn into a {{Yandere}} if they aren't careful, a FunnyForeigner whose love of a magical girl anime tops anything else, and a energetic [[DelicateAndSickly ill boy]] who often disregards his health to keep on performing. On top of that, ''all'' of them have some sort of issues or dark backstory that pushed them into becoming idols. |
| 16 | * RainbowMotif: Each member is associated with a color of the rainbow, and their shows often highlight this trait with a rainbow spectrum of lights. |
| 17 | * TeamSpirit: Their success comes from them working together as a unit, and the times that they don't quickly backfire against them. |
| 18 | * ThemeTable: Every member has a music symbol, a number, and a color. |
| 19 | * TrueCompanions: It took a while for them to get there, but they slowly learn how to work together to form one cohesive team. |

| 32 | |
| 33 | Mitsuki's younger brother. Iori has a calm and collected personality. He's polite towards his superiors, but in fact has a poison tongue. His parents run a cake shop called "fonte chocolat", and the cute interior of the shop has led to him liking cute things, something he tries to keep secret from everyone else. For as much as he can carry out anything perfectly, he's weak in the face of adversity. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Associated with: double flat, the number 1, black (sometimes indigo or dark blue) |
| 36 | ---- |
| 37 | * AcademicAthlete: When asking Iori why he wanted to become an idol, Tsumugi tells him that since he can do anything, he was most likely scouted by the student council and sports teams at school. |
| 38 | * TheAce: He prides himself on his efficiency in all fields. |
| 39 | * AlliterativeName: ''Izumi Iori.'' |
| 40 | * BigBrotherWorship: Admires and cares for Mitsuki a lot, even going so far as to agree to being scouted only if Mitsuki gets to be scouted as well. [[spoiler:This gets him into a legitimate fight with Riku when he calls him out for always siding with Mitsuki, especially when his brother gets into a nasty argument with Yamato.]] |
| 41 | * BigLittleBrother: Looks a lot older than Mitsuki and has a lot more appeal to the various idol agencies the two Iori brothers auditioned for. |
| 42 | * BrokenAce: He may look perfect in many aspects, but his personality caused him to have no friends at school. He also has some complexes regarding how his love of cute things is perceived with regards to his usual perfectionism, and how he's unable to help people on his own because of his aforementioned harsh personality. |
| 43 | * BrutalHonesty: He's not afraid to make his feelings known if the situation calls for it, whether it's Riku or ''Tsumugi''. He even calls the latter an idiot ''multiple times''. |
| 44 | * TheComicallySerious: His attempts at being mature and aloof in the face of the ridiculous antics and situations the group finds themselves in usually result in absolute hilarity, either by him playing the situation completely straight or rightfully despairing as things go out of hand. Is also considered this InUniverse where fans realise his mature nature in contrast to his openly silly unit mates during their streams results in unintentional hilarity as he tries to reign them in. |
| 45 | * CutenessProximity: He secretly ''loves'' cute things, such as the "Usamimi Friends Collection". He tries to keep a lid on it, though. |
| 46 | * DeadpanSnarker: ''Oh is he ever''. He's more than willing to lay down the snark if something displeases him. |
| 47 | * InSeriesNickname: "Ichi" by Yamato, "Iorin" by Tamaki. |
| 48 | * LastNameBasis: Refers to everyone (besides his brother) by their last name. |
| 49 | * MyGreatestFailure: He considers [[spoiler: forgetting to sing at Music Festa]] this, and holds onto it until long after everyone else has forgiven him. |
| 50 | * NotSoAboveItAll: For all his perfectionism and mature facade, it's blatantly clear he just acts a lot more mature than he actually is. His love for cute things and his {{Tsundere}} nature are the most obvious signs of his immaturity but it's especially clear when he hangs out with Tamaki and later Haruka which make clear he is just as silly as the rest of the cast. |
| 51 | * NotSoStoic: Is usually unflappable, but [[spoiler:forgetting to sing at Music Festa causes him to run off without a word, then proceeds to apologize repeatedly in front of everyone while weeping once they find him.]] |
| 52 | * OnlySaneMan: Like his brother, he has to continuously keep everyone in check so that their idol images don't get tarnished. |
| 53 | * ThePerfectionist: Very particular with the group's performance, including himself. [[spoiler:This makes his error at Music Festa hit him even harder.]] |
| 54 | %%* PersonalityBloodTypes: Type A. |
| 55 | * RavenHairIvorySkin: Dark-haired and has the pale skin to compliment it. |
| 56 | * RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Riku's red. |
| 57 | * TheReliableOne: Tsumugi now and then consults him for managing advice. |
| 58 | * TheSnarkKnight: If he can find something to snark about you, he can and definitely will dish it out as much as possible. Just ask poor Riku. |
| 59 | * TallDarkAndSnarky: He's not particularly tall, but he has the dark hair, looks, and sarcasm to more than make up for it. |
| 60 | * {{Tsundere}}: Although he isn’t the type of tsundere that has common fits of anger, Iori has a tendency to blush and scowl while denying his true feelings. Frequent examples include Iori finding Riku cute and his attempts to keep his love of cute things hidden. |
| 61 | * UndyingLoyalty: Iori is fiercely loyal to his brother. He usually takes Mitsuki's side during arguments, sometimes rather blindly. [[spoiler:When Mitsuki decides to leave the dorm after his fight with Yamato in Part 3, Iori follows after him because he doesn't want Mitsuki to be by himself. This also ends up getting him into a heated argument with Riku when he gets called out on this behavior.]] |
| 62 | * UnmanlySecret: Contrary to what his profile says, Iori actually adores all things cute. He loves the "Usamimi Friends Collection", a franchise of various rabbit-themed collectables. |
| 63 | * WiseBeyondTheirYears: He's still in high school, yet he occasionally assists Tsumugi in managing the group, providing some strong insights on the group's direction. Even Mitsuki wonders why Iori was the younger brother considering his behavior. |
| 64 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Has this dynamic with Riku. They both argue with each other ''a lot'', but they ultimately care for each other in the end. Iori often goes out of his way to encourage Riku when he's feeling down, even though he often snarks at Riku for his behavior. |
| 65 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Looks and behaves like a mature adult, yet he's only 17. He's the one of the youngest members next to Tamaki. |

| 78 | |
| 79 | The leader of [=IDOLiSH7=]. Yamato pretends to be aloof, but he's actually passionate and thinks of the other members more than anyone else. Before he joined the agency, he held a cold recognition akin to hatred regarding the entertainment world. He usually refers to himself using [[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns "ore"]], but he'll sometimes use [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseSiblingTerminology Oniisan]] as well due to being the oldest of the group. |
| 80 | |
| 81 | Associated with: sharp, the number 2, green |
| 82 | ---- |
| 83 | * BerserkButton: Don't casually bring up [[spoiler: Chiba Shizuo]] or compare them, for that matter. Yamato ''really'' hates talking about him, [[spoiler: especially when it's about Yamato's upbringing]]. |
| 84 | * BigBrotherMentor: He tries to play it off, but at his core he's really this. |
| 85 | * BirthdayHater: Yamato mentions in his Rabbit Hoodie Rabbit Chat that the atmosphere before his birthday is stifling because it makes him remember his family. |
| 86 | * BlindWithoutEm: Confirmed when Nagi stole Yamato's glasses. |
| 87 | * BrilliantButLazy: Yamato's actually a good, reliable leader and an ''extremely'' talented actor, but he'd much rather be drinking a beer or sleeping the day away instead. |
| 88 | * TheConfidant: The only member that knows Iori has been helping Tsumugi with management. He is also approached by Tamaki when the latter has some concerns with regards to Sougo. |
| 89 | * DeadpanSnarker: Not to the extent of Iori, but he can dish out the snark if he wants to. |
| 90 | * FeelingTheirAge: Yamato often avoids or blames his problems on using his age (e.g. his lack of stamina compared to the younger members of [=IDOLiSH7=]). Mind you, he's only 22. |
| 91 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: Does this in spades in Part 3, [[spoiler:especially after he takes on the acting part in Mission.]] He gets better about it, though, after [[spoiler:all of the drama surrounding his past finally gets revealed]]. |
| 92 | * IJustWantToBeLoved: [[spoiler:Yamato wants nothing more than to be loved and praised by the people he cares about. However, as Yuki tells Yamato in his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, Yamato is deeply ashamed of this because he doesn't think the other members will want him after they learn about his past and his true colors, and thus he doesn't see himself as worthy of their support. As a result, he compensates through his work instead and pushes others away in an attempt to keep them from knowing the truth about him, all the while harshly criticizing himself because it isn't really ''him'' the members love, but a facade that he thinks they'll love.]] |
| 93 | * InSeriesNickname: "Yama-san" by Tamaki. Sometimes called "Megane" by Gaku. |
| 94 | * TheLeader: The Levelheaded type, and overlaps with SupportingLeader. |
| 95 | * LikeFatherLikeSon: Yamato's father, [[spoiler: Chiba Shizuo]], is [[spoiler: one of Japan's most famous actors]]. Much to his immense displeasure, [[spoiler: Yuki doesn't hold back in comparing the two of them and their similarities from time to time.]] |
| 96 | * ManlyTears: [[spoiler: Finally shed once he comes clean about his past to the members and apologizes to them--though they tell him he has nothing to be sorry about because they're happy to be with him.]] |
| 97 | * MasterActor: Yamato's acting ability is something akin to natural-born genius. Has overlapped with ThePowerOfActing on multiple occasions. |
| 98 | * MysteriousPast: Not much is known about his past [[spoiler:until Part 3.]] |
| 99 | * TheNicknamer: Not to the same extent as Tamaki, but he has a few for some of the characters. |
| 100 | * NotAMorningPerson: Mitsuki develops creative (horrible) ways for Sougo to wake up Yamato because of this. |
| 101 | * NotSoStoic: [[spoiler: After listening to [[BrutalHonesty Yuki's scolding]] and choking him in anger, Yamato ''finally'' breaks down in tears.]] |
| 102 | --> '''Yamato:''' ……. Please, please stop saying such cruel things……. |
| 103 | --> '''Yamato:''' Be kind to me, even if I do things wrong……. |
| 104 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Yamato is usually aloof and doesn't let his emotions get the best of him, so [[spoiler: even Yuki's caught off-guard when Yamato tries to silence his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech by ''outright choking him''.]] |
| 105 | * PapaWolf: He can get very protective over the younger members of [=IDOLiSH7=]. |
| 106 | %%* PersonalityBloodTypes: Type B. |
| 107 | * {{Revenge}}: His stated reason for becoming an idol. [[spoiler:In Part 3, he finally elaborates on this. Yamato wanted to be an idol so that he could expose the secrets of Chiba Salon out of anger, ultimately to spite his father, who never bothered to tell Yamato he was an illegitimate son in the first place. Or at least that ''was'' his plan, until he got attached to [=IDOLiSH7=] and realized how much their dreams meant to them...and how badly it would affect them if he went through with it.]] |
| 108 | * SandInMyEyes: [[MenDontCry You'll never get a tear out of Yamato]], or at least that's what he ''wants'' you to believe. |
| 109 | * SignificantBirthDate: Yamato is born on Valentine's Day. |
| 110 | * SupportingLeader: He's the leader of the group, but he's not the central protagonist. |
| 111 | * TeamDad: He looks after the other members like one, though he prefers being referred to as the big brother. |
| 112 | * TsurimeEyes: His eyes noticeably slant upwards, in comparison to the others' eyes. He's not arrogant by any means though, but he can be pretty upfront when he wants to. |

| 123 | ->'''Likes:''' The legendary idol, Zero |
| 124 | ->'''Dislikes:''' Big things |
| 125 | |
| 126 | Iori's older brother. Despite his energetic, bright, cute exterior, there's also a side to him that is brimming with chivalry and is a very helpful older brother. He's dreamt of being an idol since he was young, but because of his height he hasn't been blessed with many opportunities. Among the members he is especially enthusiastic about his job, and fills the role of team mood maker. |
| 127 | |
| 128 | Associated with: flat, the number 3, orange |
| 129 | ---- |
| 130 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Mitsuki loves Iori, but given how perfect the latter is he sometimes can't help but wonder why ''Iori'' wasn't the older brother. |
| 131 | * AscendedFanboy: [[spoiler:He was inspired by Zero]] to pursue the dream of becoming an idol, with Takanashi Productions finally making it come true. |
| 132 | * BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Is often the tsukkomi to nearly everyone's (but most often Nagi's) boke. |
| 133 | * DudeLooksLikeALady: Mitsuki has been forced to crossdress several times throughout the series because of his cute appearance. Mitsuki has also before been mistaken as both Iori's girlfriend and as a (female) lover of Nagi's. |
| 134 | * InSeriesNickname: "Mitsu" by Yamato, "Mikki" by Tamaki. |
| 135 | * {{Keet}}: Exciteable, and he's considered to be the "mood-maker" of the group when he auditioned. |
| 136 | * TheNapoleon: Due to his non-apparent age and short status, he frequently gets annoyed at those who bring it up. |
| 137 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Despite his stature, he is one of the oldest members at age 21. |
| 138 | * OnlySaneMan: He frequently calls out the others for their ridiculous antics and is perfectly willing to start hitting them if things get out of control. |
| 139 | %%* PersonalityBloodTypes: Type O. |
| 140 | * SignificantBirthDate: His birthday is on Hinamatsuri (3/3). |
| 141 | * StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler:Deep down, he has quite a few self-confidence issues and finds himself wondering on whether he'd be forgotten or remembered as part of [=IDOLiSH7=]. This comes to play in Part 2 where he listened in on two fans thinking poorly of his recent variety show activities to the point that when Nagi confronts him of how Mitsuki seemed down a few chapters later, he burst into tears]]. |
| 142 | * SupremeChef: Particularly with desserts, which makes sense as his family owns a bakery. He even has a food preparation license! |
| 143 | * TaremeEyes: His eyes are noticeably bigger than the others, drooping at the corners. While he's a kind person, he can get very fiery if something annoys him (usually Nagi). |
| 144 | * TeamChef: Mitsuki prepares most of [=IDOLiSH7=]'s meals daily, and when he's ''not'' on kitchen duty, he's supervising. |
| 145 | * TenderTears: Mitsuki is very easily moved to [[InelegantBlubbering tears]]. |

| 157 | ->'''Dislikes:''' Minor details |
| 158 | |
| 159 | A lazy genius character. Tamaki entered the entertainment world for a reason the other members aren't aware of. He's an individualist that goes at his own pace; he doesn't give fanservice to fans he meets on the street, keep his promises, or show up to things on time. However, there's also an earnest side to him that'll do anything for King Pudding. |
| 160 | |
| 161 | Associated with: mezzo piano, the number 4, cyan |
| 162 | ---- |
| 163 | * AngerBornOfWorry: Usually because of Sougo. |
| 164 | * AprilFoolsDay: In addition to celebrating his birthday, the game often springs a mini game themed around him and King Pudding. |
| 165 | * AlcoholicParent: His father, who also overlaps with ParentalNeglect. |
| 166 | * BigEater: Notably, he likes [[SweetTooth sweets]], preferably King Pudding. |
| 167 | * ChickMagnet: Despite his age, Tamaki attracts quite a lot of women, to his dismay. |
| 168 | * FriendToAllChildren: As evidenced by several of his rabbit chats, he likes children and is good with them. |
| 169 | * GeniusDitz: Tamaki isn't very book smart, his room's a mess, and if he had it his way he'd probably just eat King Pudding all day. But absolutely no one can beat his dancing skills. |
| 170 | * InnocentBlueEyes: He may look intimidating, but it's quickly revealed that he's actually quite soft and pretty naive about the world around him. |
| 171 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: He doesn't really realize the consequences of what he says until they actually manifest later on. |
| 172 | * InSeriesNickname: "Tama" by Yamato. |
| 173 | * IWillFindYou: He became an idol to find [[spoiler: his younger sister Aya.]] |
| 174 | * LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Tamaki mentions in his Rabbit Hoodie Rabbit Chat that [[spoiler: he thinks he's useless like his father because although he hasn't hit Sougo, he's thought about it, and Sougo hides stuff from Tamaki like his mother did from his father]]; however, unlike his father, Tamaki is kind because he refused to leave Sougo's side [[spoiler: after he collapsed]] and stop searching for [[spoiler: Aya]]. |
| 175 | * LivingLieDetector: Tamaki isn't good at a lot of things (such as getting to the point), but he's good at reading emotional changes. |
| 176 | * MissingMom: Died when he was very young. |
| 177 | * MrFanservice: Have you ''seen'' his cards? Most of them show his abs and chest. |

| 182 | * PromotionToParent: Tamaki acts as a parent to [[spoiler:his younger sister, Aya.]] |
| 183 | * SignificantBirthDate: His birthday is on April Fools' Day. |
| 184 | * TheSocialExpert: Despite his aforementioned laziness, Tamaki is able to pick up on emotions and immediately shift his behavior based on emotional changes in others. |
| 185 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: King Pudding. He will ''literally do anything'' if it's involved. |
| 186 | * TragicKeepsake: A four-leaf clover key chain, made by his mother. [[spoiler:It matches the one Aya has.]] |
| 187 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: The tallest member of the group, but he's 17, the youngest member next to Iori. |

| 200 | |
| 201 | A serious, kind, likable young man. Sougo has a strong sense of responsibility, is smart, and can carry out anything with excellence; but he hasn't figured out his own individuality, and he has a tendency to worry on his own. Despite normally being gentle, if he loses all restraint he can become uncontrollable... |
| 202 | |
| 203 | Associated with: mezzo forte, the number 5, purple |
| 204 | ---- |
| 205 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: He's very polite and caring, but he had almost hit a burglar on the head with a computer in order to protect Tamaki. |
| 206 | * BizarreTasteInFood: Sougo has a penchant for ''extremely'' spicy food. |
| 207 | * BoobsAndButtPose: Most famously but not limited to [[http://idolish7-cards.tumblr.com/post/134286941090 his Joker Flag card]]. |
| 208 | * CantHoldHisLiquor: Sougo and alcohol mixed together usually ends up bad for people near him and ''himself''. |
| 209 | * CovertPervert: According to Nagi's work experience rabbit chats, Sougo is a "quiet pervert" in his opinion. |
| 210 | * HairAntennae: He has a notable hair sticking out from the back of his head. |
| 211 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: It's really telling that he writes himself in the list of things the dislikes. [[spoiler: Not without reason either. He once lived in a strict household]]. |
| 212 | * InSeriesNickname: "Sou" by Yamato, "Sou-chan" by Tamaki. |
| 213 | * LethalChef: Sougo isn't a ''bad'' chef, but due to his preference for spicy food, it leads to him spiking his cooking with excessive amounts of hot sauce. His fellow teammates wouldn't be against the idea of their food not tasting like Satan prepared and seasoned it himself... and keeping him away from sharp objects (mostly for Tamaki's sake)... |
| 214 | * ParentsAsPeople: [[spoiler:Not Sougo, but his father. By raising Sougo strictly out of ToughLove, his father didn't realize that what he did to raise his son made Sougo have such a low opinion on himself and unable to speak up on his own defense until further into part 3 where Sougo finally spoke up about himself in Mezzo's radio show after confronting his father]]. |
| 215 | %% * PersonalityBloodTypes: Type A. |
| 216 | * PurpleIsPowerful: Sougo is seen as "cool" and was [[spoiler:born rich.]] |
| 217 | * SecretlyWealthy: [[spoiler:Sougo is the son of the FSC's chairman, but ran away from home (and was subsequently disinherited) to pursue a music career.]] |
| 218 | * SentimentalDrunk: You're more likely to get drunk Sougo to talk about his feelings than asking him when he's sober. |
| 219 | * ShelteredAristocrat: Subverted. [[spoiler:He's the son of FSC's chairman and initially had his life all planned out for him, meaning that he really didn't have any interests outside of his home life.]] It wasn't until he was scouted by Otoharu Takanashi that he realized he wanted to pursue a life for himself and pursued a music career, becoming more well-adjusted to his newfound "normal" life, even with his issues. |
| 220 | * TeamMom: He's generally seen as a motherly figure by the other members, often trying to take care of the others and lifting them up when they are down. |
| 221 | * UnaffectedBySpice: Sougo has a habit of putting inhuman amounts of hot sauce on his food, much to the consternation to the others. During one of their cooking shows, Sougo proceeds to douse the pizza with hot sauce the way he likes it. |
| 222 | * WhatDidIDoLastNight: Sougo's alcohol tolerance is so bad that he can't remember what happened the night before. |
| 223 | * YamatoNadeshiko: Sougo is described as this once by Nagi as he's generally a polite, reserved figure that often takes care of others. [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry Push it too far however...]] |
| 224 | * {{Yandere}}: Sougo was designed with this image in mind. In-universe, he tends to play these kinds of characters in [=IDOLiSH7's=] variety dramas, [[http://idolish7-cards.tumblr.com/post/128859127195 I7 Academy]] and [[http://idolish7-cards.tumblr.com/post/143375360195 I7 Police]]. |
| 225 | * YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: He's a polite soul, but push his buttons and he will ''snap'' like no other. Just ask Tamaki about the microwave incident. |

| 238 | |
| 239 | A half-Japanese from a northern European country. He is quick to use sweet words to charm women. Nagi was born with good looks and natural charisma, but his love of anime from his Japanese mother complicates that. Because of his appearance and personality he didn't have many friends growing up, so he cherishes and loves the other members. |

| 241 | Associated with: natural, the number 6, yellow |
| 242 | ---- |
| 243 | * AllLovingHero: He's a very kind soul who loves and appreciates any person he's close with. |
| 244 | * ButNotTooForeign: He's half-Japanese, half-Northmarean. |
| 245 | * TheCharmer: He somehow managed to instantly snag a modelling gig purely on the basis of his looks. |
| 246 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: In Part 1, Nagi, Tamaki, and Yamato run into terrorists threatening a bomb attack on the way to TRIGGER's live. In a side story pertaining to that chapter, it is revealed that Nagi [[spoiler:has been trained in self-defense and taught himself offense, and singlehandedly deals with the terrorists until the police arrive in the name of his Kokona merchandise and the safety of his friends. According to himself, he has quite the aim with guns.]] Talk about a 180. |
| 247 | * DoesNotLikeMen: He just prefers talking to women. |
| 248 | * DumbBlond: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] Because of his Japanese pronunciation, people assume that Nagi is an idiot when in reality Nagi can speak ''8'' languages (Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Northmarean, and Norwegian). |
| 249 | * EvenTheGuysWantHim: More than once have the other members of the cast talked about how beautiful Nagi is. Especially his eyes. |
| 250 | * EveryoneLovesBlondes: Nagi's beauty is heavily emphasized by the fact that he's half Northmarean. |
| 251 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: Besides people, Nagi is also an animal charmer, claiming cats follow him on his walks. |
| 252 | * GentleGiant: He's one of the tallest members and is a nice person overall, if you ignore his constant womanizer and fanboy tendencies. |
| 253 | * GratuitousEnglish: As a reminder of his foreigner status. |
| 254 | ->(as Mitsuki removes his anime merchandise) ''Jesus no! My Kokona stick!'' |
| 255 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He's a nice guy underneath it all and has the bright blonde hair to back it up. |
| 256 | * InnocentBlueEyes: He's has blue eyes and is pretty naive about the world, which leads to much yelling by Mitsuki. |
| 257 | * InSeriesNickname: "Nagicchi" by Tamaki. |
| 258 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: With [[spoiler:Haruki.]] |
| 259 | * KingIncognito: [[spoiler:Heavily implied to be of ''some'' royal importance in Northmare. Revealed to be the second prince in line of the throne in Story 4.]] |
| 260 | * LonelyRichKid: Until he joined up with [=IDOLISH7=], he didn't actually have any friends due to his life back home and even admits that the group are his first true friends. |
| 261 | * MysteriousPast: Unlike the others, he just showed up out of nowhere to become an idol and rarely discusses himself personally. No one has particularly tried to pry at it, just accepting him as he is. [[spoiler:It's revealed that the songwriter for Zero came to his country and befriended him, spurring him to bring the songs back to Japan.]] |
| 262 | * {{Otaku}}: Loves anime and particularly loves the magical girl anime ''Magical Kokona''. |
| 263 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When he [[spoiler: leads a press conference]] in Part 2, even his own members are surprised by how different he was from the Nagi they usually see. |
| 264 | %%* PersonalityBloodTypes: Type AB. |
| 265 | * ProudToBeAGeek: Absolutely ''shameless'' when it comes to his love of ''Magical Kokona'', and his room has merchandise of his favorite show everywhere. His dream date is taking his partner on a magical trip to Akihabara. |
| 266 | * ShelteredAristocrat: When the group moves into their dorms, he declares it all to be his and is baffled that he only just get one room. |
| 267 | * SuperDrowningSkills: It is revealed in the Summer Memories Rabbit Chats that Nagi cannot swim. |
| 268 | * TwinkleInTheEye: Usually happens when talking about Magical Kokona. |
| 269 | * WhatBeautifulEyes: Many of the members comment about how beautiful Nagi's eyes are up-close, often saying that his beauty might just kill them. |
| 270 | * WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Nagi was born and raised in Northmare, so he often inserts non Japanese words into his sentences and speaks Japanese like a foreigner (except for when he speaks slowly in which case he loses the accent completely). |
| 271 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Lampshaded InUniverse by Riku in the 1-1 side story. He guessed that Nagi was 25, but was shocked to hear that he's only 19. |

| 282 | ->'''Likes:''' Hero things |
| 283 | ->'''Dislikes:''' The smell of hospitals |
| 284 | |
| 285 | The center of [=IDOLiSH7=]. While Riku may be a bit clumsy, he's also honest, a hard worker, and a softhearted person that can't turn down a request. He had poor health as a kid, and the make-believe show his older brother showed him was the only enjoyment he had as he fought his illness. Since he spent a long time in the hospital, he doesn't know much about the world. He often fights with Iori, but actually finds enjoyment in it since he hasn't had that kind of partner before. |
| 286 | |
| 287 | Associated with: double sharp, the number 7, red |
| 288 | ---- |
| 289 | * BigBrotherWorship: Even when he's being upset over [[spoiler: Tenn]], Riku still looks up to him a lot. One line even has Riku calling him an angel. |
| 290 | * {{Bookworm}}: He read a lot in the hospital. His day-off card shows him reading. Iori is very surprised that Riku knows so much different Kanji. |
| 291 | * CantHoldHisLiquor: Probably rivals Sougo in this department. He managed to get drunk off of chanmery, which doesn't even have alcohol in it. |
| 292 | * CompellingVoice: Riku's singing has the ability to draw people in. [[spoiler: Explored further in Part 3 where it's revealed his ability to draw people in can be applied to ''anything'' he does. This ability is so strong that Kujou calls him a monster that devours people's hearts because of it and Iori realises that it can cause serious problems if not properly controlled.]] |
| 293 | * DelicateAndSickly: [[spoiler:Though [[SoapOperaDisease not specified]], Riku's shortness of breath moments and possession of an inhaler implies he has very severe asthma. He tries his best not to let that stop him.]] |
| 294 | * {{Determinator}}: He's willing to put his life on the line for his career as an idol, and even had to be [[spoiler:held down and forced to take his inhaler]] at one point. |
| 295 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 296 | ** He's fairly responsible outside of his health issues, often keeping tabs on the others (such as Tamaki when he's about to miss school). |
| 297 | ** He knows quite a bit of kanji due to having read a lot when he was in the hospital. |
| 298 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness: Despite (or because of it) his naïveté, he wears his heart on his sleeve and never fails to look on the bright side, even when he's [[spoiler:clearly having an asthma attack right in front of the guys.]] |
| 299 | * InfectiousEnthusiasm: The reason he's the center of the group, as his energy can truly bring them together in a way no one else can. |
| 300 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: He will often say things without thinking, but it's shown that he's aware of it after the fact. |
| 301 | * ISeeDeadPeople: It's mentioned in the game that Riku's near-death experiences caused him to develop the ability to see and hear ghosts. This is best shown in ''Third Beat'''s episode 10, where multiple scenes show him talking to a ghost around the inn. |
| 302 | * InSeriesNickname: "Rikkun" by Tamaki. |
| 303 | * IWillFindYou: [[spoiler:Tenn]] isn't so much missing as he is out of reach, but meeting him and finding out how he felt was Riku's reason for being an idol. |
| 304 | * {{Keet}}: He's generally very energetic and quite adorable at that, but he does grate Iori with his personality. |
| 305 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler:He's completely oblivious to the circumstances of Tenn being adopted by Kujou despite his parents presumably knowing it was to pay off their debt. PlayedForDrama since this has left him to assume it's because Tenn wanted to get away from him because he was tired of being his caretaker.]] |
| 306 | * MirrorCharacter: [[spoiler:Tenn and Riku are (fraternal) twins who are both the "centers" of their respective idol groups and incredibly talented singers and dancers.]] They even have basically a mirrored version of each other's haircut, and have a lot of baggage to work through together. |
| 307 | * MoralityPet: To [[spoiler:Touma]] in Part 3. [[spoiler:He has somewhat of a positive influence on Touma, who's disillusioned with the idol industry due to his own personal experiences, and is inadvertently the reason why Touma told Momo about Tsukumo's plan at the end of Part 3.]] |
| 308 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Downplayed. He's 18, but he can easily pass for being the youngest member due to his energetic personality and youthful appearance. |
| 309 | * PassingTheTorch: Part 2's initial set up culminates in Riku handing off the position of Center to Iori due to his health. [[spoiler:For a few months, anyway. Iori hands the position back to Riku in time for their RESTART [=POiNTER=] performance.]] |
| 310 | %%* PersonalityBloodTypes: Type O. |
| 311 | * RedIsHeroic: He's the face of the group and predominantly wears red. |
| 312 | * RedOniBlueOni: The red to Iori's blue. |
| 313 | * SuperDrowningSkills: It is revealed in the Summer Memories Rabbit Chats that Riku cannot swim. |
| 314 | * SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [[spoiler:Despite his optimistic and cheerful personality, Riku's history as a [[DelicateAndSickly chronically ill and hospital bound child]] has left him with some serious issues, not least of all a strong need to prove himself and not be a burden to his loved ones, especially [[LockeOutOfTheLoop since he assumes Tenn abandoned their family because he was sick of him.]]]] |
| 315 | %%* SweetTooth |
| 316 | * TaremeEyes: He has noticeably big eyes that droop at the corners and is by far one of the most pure characters in the game. |
| 317 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Omurice |
| 318 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Has this dynamic with Iori. They argue ''a lot'', but ultimately care about each other in the end. He even trusts Iori enough to pass on the position of Center when his health is on the line. |
| 319 | * WellDoneSonGuy: Riku doesn't ask for much, just his AloofBigBrother [[spoiler: Tenn]] to acknowledge him as an equal. |

| 329 | * FirstNameBasis: All members address each other using their first names. |

Under the supervision of his father, who runs an entertainment office, he's steadily gained popularity since his debut and now shines as "The Number 1 Most Desired Embrace." He's a popular star in great demand for commercials and dramas too. |

| 351 | * DoggedNiceGuy: Downplayed. He has a crush on Tsumugi and is pretty damn nice to her, but he isn't overing in the slightest. |
| 352 | * TheDutifulSon: When he's not working as an idol, Gaku helps out at his maternal grandparents' restaurant. |
| 353 | * FaceOfAThug: He can't help it that he has Yaotome Sousuke as a father. |
| 354 | * HopelessSuitor: Mostly because Tsumugi's MarriedToTheJob. |
| 355 | * InSeriesNickname: "Gakkun" by Tamaki. |
| 356 | * TheLeader: The Levelheaded type. He helps keep the group together in tough situations with a cool head, mediating conflicts between them and his father. |
| 357 | * LikeFatherLikeSon: |
| 358 | ** Gaku's casual outfit in Part 1 ''and'' Part 2 are in monochrome like his father's. |
| 359 | ** Kaoru has commented that both Gaku and his father tend to be cold to all women [[SingleTargetSexuality other than the one they truly like]]. Gaku immediately tries to deny it, but... |
| 360 | * MommasBoy: His father isn't much of a "father", so ''someone's'' gotta be his favorite parent. |
| 361 | %%* OldSchoolChivalry |
| 362 | %%* OnlyChildSyndrome |
| 363 | * PaperThinDisguise: As the deliveryman working for the soba shop his maternal grandparents and his mother run. He insists that he's not Gaku and that he just looks like him. ''A lot'' like him. Tenn doesn't buy it. |
| 364 | * PersonalityBloodTypes: Type B. |
| 365 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Soba. It helps a bit that he also worked at his maternal grandparents' soba shop. |
| 366 | * TsurimeEyes: Has noticeably sharp eyes and is pretty damn arrogant, although that part is a farce. |

| 377 | ->'''Likes:''' Things that are perfect |
| 378 | ->'''Dislikes:''' Things that are half-assed |
| 379 | |
| 380 | The center of TRIGGER. Tenn's outward appearance maintains that of a rogue, and he's a perfectionist and believes in competency. He's decided in his heart to perform perfectly in front of others 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Due to his high professionalism, it's easy for those who know his true disposition to mistake him as cold and two-faced. |
| 381 | |
| 382 | Associated with: alto clef, the number 9, pink |
| 383 | ---- |
| 384 | * TheAce: He's well-rounded in singing, dancing, and variety. |
| 385 | * AloofBigBrother: [[spoiler:Invoked on Tenn's part. Tenn does watch out for Riku's well being, though he can and ''will'' deny it to the very end in order to keep things professional between him and Riku.]] |
| 386 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Starts to fall into this more often as the story progresses. [[spoiler: Turns out he's always been more this than aloof since a lot of his initial motivation was to help Riku with the story simply helping him be more open about it. He also feels this way towards Aya who is his adopted little sister.]] He also has this in spades with Tamaki who he spoils quite a bit, particularly with King Pudding, though it's not as prominent. |
| 387 | * {{Bookworm}}: In the game, his room can be shown and he has a lot of books. [[spoiler: Another thing he has in common with Riku]] |
| 388 | * DeadpanSnarker: He has a very strong wit that can rival Iori sometimes. |
| 389 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: One of the rabbit chats has Tsumugi asking about his strong dislike for broccoli. |
| 390 | * FriendToAllChildren: It has been shown in the manga, story, and more that Tenn is very gentle with children. |
| 391 | * HealthcareMotivation: [[spoiler: Tenn left the Nanase household so Kujou would shoulder the Nanase family debt, which would leave his family able to properly take care of Riku.]] |
| 392 | %%* HeroOfAnotherStory |
| 393 | * TheHerosIdol: Each of the idols strives to be like the legendary idol Zero in some way, but Riku actually calls his own brother, Tenn, an angel and aspires to be just like the twin who spent hours entertaining and caring for his sickly brother. |
| 394 | * HiddenHeartOfGold: Underneath his callous nature, he does actually care for his members and [[spoiler:Riku]], but he prefers to keep his distance to keep things professional. |
| 395 | * InSeriesNickname: "Tenten" by Tamaki. |
| 396 | * KillerRabbit: Don't be fooled. Tenn may look "cute", but he speaks with a poison tongue. |
| 397 | * LastNameBasis: Aside from his other members and [[spoiler:Riku]], he refers to everyone by their last name. |
| 398 | * {{Mangst}}: It's not like Tenn has a whole collection of childhood pictures of [[spoiler: Riku]]. That would be absurd. [[MenDontCry He doesn't cry in front of others either.]] That would be a contradiction of [[TheyreCalledPersonalIssuesForAReason everything he stands for]]. |
| 399 | * MirrorCharacter: Tenn and Riku are (fraternal) twins who are both the "centers" of their respective idol groups and incredibly talented singers and dancers. They even have basically a mirrored version of each other's haircut, and have a lot of baggage to work through together. |
| 400 | * NiceCharacterMeanActor: On stage, Tenn is as sweet as pie. Off stage, he's got the personality of an IceKing. Sometimes, though, he is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. |
| 401 | * ThePerfectionist: Expects nothing less than 100% and is often willing to sacrifice his mental and physical health to perform at his absolute best. |
| 402 | %%* PersonalityBloodTypes: Type A. |
| 403 | * PetTheDog: [[spoiler:He was initially suspicious when Akihito presented Natsu☆Shiyou ze, asking if it really was a song for TRIGGER. But when Gaku and Ryuunosuke talks of how they like the song, he chose to keep quiet rather than hurt them with the AwfulTruth that they were singing a stolen song. At least until Gaku finds out on his own]]. |
| 404 | * RoseHairedSweetie: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Only around [[spoiler:Aya]], [[spoiler:Riku]], and TRIGGER's fans is he an "angel". |
| 405 | * SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:He's the only one who knows that Kujou Takamasa was the fake Zero in Part 2.]] |
| 406 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: Sweet and caring towards the fans, but acts distant otherwise. Gaku has called him out for this behavior before, but Tenn eventually [[DefrostingIceQueen warms up]] more as the story goes on. |
| 407 | * SweetTooth: According to the rabbit chats, he loves [[TrademarkFavoriteFood donuts]] and his sweet tooth is massive enough to match even Tamaki's. It's been noted that he beat Nagi and Tamaki in a cake eating contest. |
| 408 | * TranquilFury: When Kaoru mentions the gossip of [[spoiler:Riku and Tenn being twins, spread by Yaotome Sousuke himself to ruin [=IDOLiSH7=]'s career,]] the glare he gave to his manager is chilling. |
| 409 | --> '''Tenn''': Manager. I told you after Sound Ship that if you embarrassed us in front of our fans again, that I had some ideas. Now that you remember that, answer me honestly. [[spoiler:Did the media find out that Riku's my twin, or were they told?]] |
| 410 | * {{Tsundere}}: Although not as textbook as Iori, Tenn still falls into this category, especially when concerning his feelings about his bandmates. |
| 411 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:When Mitsuki asked about how Tenn was like before he joined TRIGGER, Riku described Tenn to have been a very nice and gentle brother to him until they were separated.]] |

| 433 | * ChickMagnet: The girls absolutely ''love'' him because of his looks. He, on the other hand, prefers to keep to himself. |
| 434 | * CountryMouse: He is amazed by the city when he first moves for his idol job, but quickly adapts to living in an urban environment. |

However, he's very awkward regarding himself, and he'll worry about things on his own... [[BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine Momo's boke and Yuki's masterful tsukkomi]] will frequently unfold between them. |

| 481 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: with Yuki. However, this being [=IDOLiSH7=], it is up to [[HoYay much scholarly debate]]. Momo keeps telling Yuki that he is very handsome at random times, which is a reference to Momo's AscendedFanboy status. |

| 574 | ** [[spoiler: During Story 5 Haruka says that he is used to being thrown away, so it's not like he would care if ZOOL's new manager did the same.

| 576 | ** [[spoiler:Gone into more detail in both Part 3 and ZOOL's backstory chapters. Kujou basically throws Haruka away when he thinks that Haruka can't "reach the fans" the way Tenn does, mainly due to the mentality that [[CreateYourOwnVillain Kujou himself instilled upon Haruka]], who blindly listened to Kujou.]] |

| 716 | The president of Takanashi Productions. Otoharu is always smiling and has a gentle personality. He's the president of the agency [=IDOLISH7=] joined, Takanashi Prductions, as well as Tsumugi's father. He seems a bit absentminded, but he's also very faithful with regards to his work. It seems like he's known the president of the agency TRIGGER is attached to, Yaotome Sousuke, since before......? |

| 748 | |
| 749 | The president of Yaotome Productions, which TRIGGER is attached to. Sousuke is someone who is said to make you disappear from the entertainment world if you defy him. He is the father of one of TRIGGER's members, Yaotome Gaku. Money and power are everything to him, and he things of everyone associated with the agency as just pieces on a board, so things aren't going smoothly between him and his son. |
| 750 | ---- |
| 751 | * ArchnemesisDad: Sousuke and his son, Gaku, often get into arguments because of their differing opinions which sometimes result in Sousuke claiming [[IHaveNoSon he has no son]]. |
| 752 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: He thinks that power and money is everything you need to succeed. |
| 753 | * IrrationalHatred: At Otoharu, for marrying Musubi and (in his words) "sending her to an early grave." |
| 754 | * LostLenore: Musubi, Tsumugi's mother, is this to Sousuke, even after her death. Gaku's mother notes how Sousuke still loved Musubi no matter what despite Sousuke marrying her. The 2nd Anniversary story for the game is even centered around this, in a place where Sousuke shares fond memories with Musubi. |
| 755 | * MisplacedRetribution: [=IDOLiSH7=] and Tsumugi get the brunt of his hatred for Otoharu, and as a result have to suffer from whatever schemes he comes up with to discredit them. |
| 756 | * SharpDressedMan: Usually appears in a classy white suit. |

| 768 | TRIGGER's manager. Their work is top class, but they're unusually strong-willed, and will snap a ballpoint pen in two with their bare hands when they're angry. Only Yaotome Sousuke knows their true age. |

| 779 | ---- |
| 780 | * JerkassWoobie: Even if what he did hurt many people in the process, he only resorted to [[spoiler: stealing the demo tape for Natsu☆Shiyou ze from [=IDOLiSH7=]]] because his hand was forced by Sousuke. |
| 781 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:What happened to Akihito after the song theft? Did Sousuke cut ties with Akihito after finding out that Natsu☆Shiyou ze used to be an [=IDOLiSH7=] song? Given that the special story related to Natsu☆Shiyou ze never mentions what happened to him, we can only imagine what transpired behind the scenes, or wait until a side story talks about Akihito's eventual fate.]] |

| 816 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tsukumoryou6002361889_crop.jpg]] |
| 817 | The President of Tsukumo Productions and manager of Zool. |
| 818 | ---- |
| 819 | * BigBad: Of Part 3 |
| 820 | * HateSink: ''[[HatedByAll Nobody]]'' in the series like him. Even ZOOL, the group he manages, collectively agree on how creepy he is. |
| 821 | * {{Jerkass}}: Tsukumo does not have a single drop of goodness in him as everything he does is in the aim of giving himself amusement and power as he manipulates others in his actions for them. |
| 822 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: [[spoiler:At first he seems like a KarmaHoudini in Part 3 since he basically gets off scot-free despite the crimes he committed but turns into this at the end of Part 4. He is finally arrested by the authorities during Black or White after someone (implied to be the President of Okazaki Production) tipped them off about his misdeeds.]] |
| 823 | * LargeHam: He is easily one of the hammiest characters in the series, with the anime giving him some of the most cartoonish faces thus far to match. |
| 824 | %%* ManipulativeBastard |
| 825 | %%* SmugSnake |
| 826 | * VisionaryVillain: His ultimate goal is to [[spoiler:completely control Re:vale, TRIGGER, and [=IDOLiSH7=], while utterly destroying and absorbing all of Hoshikage's talents into Tsukumo Productions.]] |

| 830 | !!!Voiced by: Creator/TakahiroSakurai |
| 831 | ZOOL's manager starting from Story 5. |
| 832 | ---- |
| 833 | * TheAtoner: Representing Tsukumo Production as a whole. [[spoiler:He tries to genuinely make up for Ryo's actions and repair the damage he has done to not only the idol industry but also to the involved people. However, the other companies are rightfully skeptical on how sincere Tsukumo is in their efforts.]] |
| 834 | * LogicalLatecomer: Since he only becomes ZOOL's manager in Story 5, he is largely unaware of the various personal issues and quirks of the cast and is rightfully confused when he's confronted by them. |
| 835 | * TheStoic: Utsugi isn't emotionanless but he rarely changes his expressions from a pleasant smile or raises his voice. Haruka notes that he is much harder to read than Ryo just by virtue that his face never changes. |
| 836 | * StraightMan: Plays this role to ZOOL. [[spoiler:Best examplified when Haruka, Minami and Torao want him to tell Touma he's not allowed to leave ZOOL to join his old group since their many mindgames didn't make him reconsider and Utsugi correctly states that [[StatingTheSimpleSolution it would be much faster if they just told Touma that they don't want him to leave.]]]] |
| 837 | * RedeemingReplacement: [[spoiler: Takes over ZOOL's management and it's a huge and noticable improvements, actually treating the members with respect and dignity and caring for their wellbeing. Considering what a {{Jerkass}} Ryo was, it wasn't hard to be better than him.]] |

| 861 | ---- |
| 862 | * CreatorCameo. Kind of. Negishi's (the game producer) name is written with the kanji for root and bank/shore, so Rootbank is kind of her cameo. |

| 871 | !!!Voiced by: Creator/RinaHidaka |
| 872 | |
| 873 | Tamaki's younger sister. Aya is now Kujou Takamasa's adoptive daughter, and by extension, Tenn's adoptive sister. |
| 874 | ---- |
| 875 | * AffectionateNickname: [[spoiler:Before his falling-out with Kujou, Haruka used to call her "Acchan".]] |
| 876 | * BizarreTasteInFood: Has a habit of combining flavors together that should not be combined like savory ramen and sweet dorayaki. She seems completely oblivious to how weird her tastes are and insists on cooking for the Kujou household, with Tenn too nice to say anything and Kujou calling her cooking delicious. |
| 877 | * GeniusDitz: Implied, she's just as quirky and extreme as Tamaki but considering Kujou picked her as Tenn's backup she must be just as much a natural at idol work as he is. |
| 878 | * HappilyAdopted: Aya is remarkably grateful to Kujou for taking her in and helping her previous adoptive family. |

| 890 | Ten and Aya's adoptive father. Used to be [=Haw9=], the legendary Zero's manager, until the latter's mysterious disappearance. |
| 891 | ---- |
| 892 | * AffablyEvil: His first meeting with Tsumugi makes him seem like a very kind, reliable figure as he uses his experience to give Tsumugi advice. We then find out he's the guy that took both Ten and Aya, and may have also been involved with Banri's accident and the death of Sougo's uncle. |
| 893 | * BigBad: May be shaping up to be this, given his involvement in various events. |
| 894 | * PetTheDog: His gentle treatment of Aya (and Tenn, to a lesser extent) as well as his genuine advice to Tsumugi are so far the only real indicators that he's not all bad. |
| 895 | ** [[spoiler:Subverted, however, with [[YankTheDogsChain Haruka]], who thought Kujou was a good man until he went back on his promise to adopt Haruka.]] |
| 896 | * ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler: His ultimate goal in training Tenn was to make him the next coming of Zero]]. |
| 897 | * SharpDressedMan |
| 898 | ** ManOfWealthAndTaste |
| 899 | * SplitPersonality: His fake Zero persona may be this, since the ending shows that he is not aware of what he does while he masquerades as Zero. |

| 909 | ** [[spoiler: To be more precise, he's being held hostage by Nagi's brother Seth to make him follow his orders, though he is provided medical treatment by him but is otherwise bedridden due to his illness.]] |
| 910 | * IWillFindYou: Traveled all over the world in search of Zero. |
| 911 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: With Nagi. So much so that he trusted his remaining music with him. |
| 912 | ** [[spoiler:He was also on good terms with Minami, though they became at odds with each other when it came to Haruki health.]] |
| 913 | * SoapOperaDisease: Haruki grew ill while in Northmare, but instead of accepting treatment decided to leave so he wouldn't cause trouble. |

| 927 | The ruler of Northmare and [[spoiler: Nagi's older brother]]. |
| 928 | ---- |
| 929 | * AloofBigBrother: Played with. [[spoiler: He used to be quite doting on Nagi but as they grew older and Nagi stopped doing as he was told he became more aloof until he turned into the stoic strict man he is now.]] |
| 930 | * AlwaysSecondBest: [[spoiler: Towards Nagi who was not only adored by the Northmarian people but also excelled at every skill he learnt, making him feel inferior and imcompetent by comparison.]] |
| 931 | * BigBad: Of Part 4 |
| 932 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: [[spoiler: The crux of his issues. Despite being the crown prince and now ruler of a nation, it's clear to him that the citizens prefer Nagi much more than him. This combined with the constant pressure of his position causes an inferiority complex so severe he is absolutely terrified of any kind of failure and always plays his cards so he can gain praise and validation, even if it's from people who would harm him in the long run.]] |
| 933 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:At the end of Part 4, he finally takes responsibility for his actions, fully supports Nagi in his endeavors and lets all of them freely meet Haruki Sakura.]] |
