* TheDragon: The unit was formed to serve as this to "fine", standing in the way of anyone who might try to threaten "fine" and carrying out its will while allowing it a little plausible deniability. In the early days they didn't even really do many idol activities. They especially function as this in the first half of the main story - due to Eichi being hospitalised, "fine" is temporarily non-functional, meaning that Trickstar target Akatsuki as the student council's second biggest asset.

* CloudCuckooLander: Enough to rival many of the oddballs! Apart from constantly acting like a samurai from a few hundred years ago (and unlike Shinobu or Rei, he isn't playing a part, and seems to actually ''forget'' at times samurai don't exist anymore), he also has very little common sense and is very bad at reading people, meaning he often waves around his sword and scares people without realising why. And on top of his unusual worldview he can be quite impulsive, making him rather unpredictable. However, he always tries to do the right thing and if anything is too trusting and gullible - he's a very kind guy who wants to protect others, he's just on a completely different wavelength to everyone else.

Kuro looks scary and has immense physical strength, but treasures precision and order. He's earnest and sincere at heart. His family is very important to him. He's been taking care of his younger sister ever since they lost their mother, and he somewhat developed a sister complex as a result.
He entered the academy because of his sister, too, the reason being he wanted to look cool in front of her. He's good at sewing and can create all sorts of things, ranging from stuff like embroidery on long jackets worn by delinquents to frilly dresses. A member of the unit AKATSUKI.

Born and raised in a Buddhist temple, Keito is childhood friends with Eichi, and they often enjoy drinking tea together. He was friends with third year Rei Sakuma before they entered the academy. He's fair-minded and will never find fault with those who follow the rules, but violators will receive a long sermon from him. He has very sharp ears. The leader of the unit AKATSUKI.

His family is of the Kanzaki style and famous in the world of kendo. He honestly admits his mistakes, but it quickly leads to self-blame and rigorous training.
Despite his serious disposition, he joined the Marine Bio Club (one of the most suspicious clubs in the academy) and has great respect for Kanata Shinkai. He doesn't get along with Kaoru Hakaze from the same club, but hits it off with Adonis Otogari, his classmate. A member of the unit AKATSUKI.

* CoolBigBro: If Tetora admiring him is any indication.
* FaceOfAThug: And painfully aware. He thinks he's not very idol-like due to his appearance.
* FormerDelinquent: The Akatsuki unit CD audio drama implies that he was involved in a gang during middle school.
* MissingMom: His mother passed away before he entered Yumenosaki academy.
* OnlySaneMan: He and Nazuna are this to their eccentric classmates in 3-B.
* PromotionToParent: Since his mother died when he was younger and his father became a workaholic to maintain the family finances, Kuro started doing house chores and taking care of his sister.
* RealMenWearPink: He sews and also cooks. He also sewed some of the unit costumes for other units.

----
* AdjustingYourGlasses: In his one-star and two-star cards.
* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Loves giving one. This is apparently because he used to pat Eichi's head a lot as children.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Eichi, as their families have been said to be on good terms with each other, so they've often hung out a lot as kids. This also may or may not explain his UndyingLoyalty to him.
* TheDreaded: To Anzu in his side stories. Since Anzu will always try to run away from him if he is ever nearby. This is eventually averted after the 2015 quarrel festival and a sub story revealing his HiddenDepths as a mangaka.
* HiddenDepths: This serious student council vice president originally wanted to be [[spoiler:a mangaka]]. He dropped this idea and enter Yumenosaki to stay by Eichi's side. [[spoiler:He still draws (under a pen name, mostly for the school), and is good enough at it that Eichi claims he would be famous if he had decided to pursue the career; it's unclear what sort of art style he has, but his pen name sounds fairly feminine, his art style influences Anzu's (who's also his big fan) and it apparently doesn't match Akatsuki's image. He's also revealed to have made a doujinshi titled "Wonderland Alice vs Looking-glass Alice" in the Tea Party scout story... one can only imagine.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Being on the side of the student council (who act as sort-of antagonists in the main story) coupled with his unpleasant personality doesn't give the best first impression. As the player reads on though, they'll learn that he's a simple and upright man dedicated to upholding the rules in the Academy. It helps he looks like the nicer one in comparison when put next to [[ManipulativeBastard his childhood friend]]. The tea party gacha also shows that Keito has a soft spot for his juniors.
* NumberTwo: As the vice president of Yumenosaki's student council, he's Number Two to the student council president, Eichi. His unit, Akatsuki, is also Number Two to Eichi's unit Fine, having been initially formed to protect Eichi as well as being the strongest unit in Yumenosaki only second to Fine.
* OnlySaneMan : Among his classmates in 3-A, which are [[{{Yandere}} Izumi]], [[HandsomeLech Kaoru]], [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Shu]], [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace Chiaki]], and [[ManipulativeBastard Eichi]].
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Top student, vice president of the Student Council, and leader of the Archery Club.
* StoicSpectacles: To demonstrate: as a player, you won't have an easy time picking options that'll make his CG smile, even if the answers you give him raise his affection. He's just stoic, to the point he looks irritated, most of the time.
* UndyingLoyalty: He abides by Eichi, even when he doesn't know what the other is thinking. On the other hand, the two members of his unit Akatsuki are highly loyal towards him, even when they don't necessarily agree with his devotion to Eichi.
* UnknownRival: To Wataru who claims Keito as such.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Rei were friends. They apparently even used to be in the same unit in the past, as confirmed in Repayment festival event. With Keito's position in the student council and Rei on the opposing side, they have evidently drifted apart.
* YouRemindMeOfX: There's Mao, who reminds Keito of his own self from the past. Then there's also Tori, who reminds Keito of Eichi from when he was younger, which leaves Keito developing a soft side for him even while thinking he can afford to be more useful for the student council.

->''"Please excuse me. Souma Kanzaki, here I come. Chest...!"''
--> '''Voiced by''': Keisuke Kaminaga
----
* BloodKnight: PlayedForLaughs. He has admitted to wanting to cut down a human being with a Japanese sword, and even asked around if he should do so. [[CaptainObvious He's always refused, of course]].
* BridalCarry: Does this to Anzu in Flower Festival and to Keito in Quarrel Festival. In both cases, he fails to ask for consent.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Has long bangs and long enough hair to make a ponytail.
* HeroWorship: Towards Kanata, of all people, being president of the Marine Biology Club, of which Souma is a member.
* HotBlooded: Although he aims to look dignified, he jumps at conclusions very quickly, and as soon as his emotions run high or he detects someone being dishonest, he'll draw his sword. On the same vein, Souma is fast to apologize and admit his mistakes if he believes he's done wrong, though it soon turns into self-blame more than anything.
* {{Samurai}}: Clearly acts like one, even carrying a sword around with him at all times and standing up against any type of dishonesty. Sometimes he'll go "As a samurai...!" only for Keito or some other to remind him he's an idol.
* SuicideAsComedy: Souma is prone to offering to off himself with {{Seppuku}} whenever he makes a mistake, but he never actually goes through with it ([[InterruptedSuicide someone always stops him]]) and everyone seems to take it like an everyday occurrence.
* SupremeChef: He's apparently a great cook. Anzu even says he's better than her in Makoto's Valentines course.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Adonis. They're classmates in 2-A who are often seen together and get along well.
* VerbalTic: He speaks very humbly and traditionally, (basically like an old fashioned samurai), and uncommon words and phrases. He also uses "de aru" instead of the usual "desu".
* UndyingLoyalty: Towards Keito. He even goes as far as confronting Eichi, the person Keito has this towards, to cut him down when he believes Eichi has made Keito suffer.
