Always smiling, Eichi is the student council president, making him the academy's most influential person. He had been hospitalized long-term due to his weak constitution. His family owns a large business and has connections in the entertainment world. He gets along well with his classmate Keito Hasumi, the student council vice president, due to the two families sharing a good relationship.

He has a benevolent soul and cares deeply for the academy and its students. While he's kind to those inside his circle, there's a side of him that is ruthless when it comes to outsiders. His body isn't in great shape, but his performance has a transcendental charm to it. A member of fine, the academy's most formidable unit.

Fickle and elusive, Wataru lives in his own peculiar world and is one of the "Three Oddballs." His speech and actions are theatrical at all times, and the Theater Club members are victims of his erratic behavior. Because he often wears a mask, the members call him "Masked Freak."

Even though he's eccentric, his talent for singing and acting are undoubted, so a lot of fans gather at his plays and live shows. He is a member of fine, the academy's most formidable unit.


Added DiffLines:


A rich boy who seems like an angel on the outside, but is actually mischievous like a devil on the inside, Tori knows how to make the best use of his physical charms. Power-hungry, he loves having the spotlight on him. He's the student council secretary and passionately admires the student council president Eichi Tenshouin.

He has a master-and-servant relationship with second year Yuzuru Fushimi, who has lived at his mansion since childhood. Even at school he calls Yuzuru "slave" and has Yuzuru dote on him hand and foot.


Added DiffLines:


A polite young man who's always smiling, Yuzuru is the capable servant of first year's Tori Himemiya, but he laments the fact that he's always pushed around by Tori's selfishness. With the Himemiya family's aid, he entered the academy partly to serve as Tori's chaperone. While he's not a member of the student council, he often helps out as he attends to Tori, and the vice president, Keito Hasumi, values his abilities more than Tori's.

He's actually terrible at drawing. Tori has a pet dog, but Yuzuru doesn't like dogs. A member of fine, the academy's most formidable unit.

As evidence of his talent, the two units who have been shown to score against Fine, Trickstar and Akatsuki, won by ''very'' thin margin and ''only because Eichi was not in top condition''. There's also Valkyrie whom had almost won against Fine in the Milky Way event, losing because fine had more fans than Valkyrie since Valkyrie had been inactive in the Yumenosaki assigned lives for quiet a while.

Eichi assumes Tsumugi stayed by his side on fine because of a contract and that he expected a compensation for even associating with him, such as [[EveryManHasHisPrice having his debts payed]] or exacting revenge on his mother (Eichi goes to the point of offering to use his contacts to strip Tsumugi's mother of custody, if Tsumugi wishes to do so), and so thinks nothing of [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness dismissing him and the other fine members after their part in the War is done]]. In reality, Tsumugi was doing it [[spoiler: because he saw Eichi as a ''friend'', and because he believed that the goals Eichi wanted to achieve would bring happiness to everyone]]. When Eichi realizes how important Tsumugi's support was, and that he could have had him as a loyal friend, it's already too late.

There's also Valkyrie whom had almost won against Fine in the 2016 Tanabata Milky Way event, losing because fine had more fans than Valkyrie since Valkyrie had been inactive in the Yumenosaki assigned lives for quiet a while. Emperor, indeed.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: ''No one'' can defeat "fine". Okay, they may, ''only'' if "fine" isn't fighting in full force.
* LightIsNotGood: Played straight in the main story that they are the antagonist to Trickstar. But it gets subverted later that the members of fine didn't have any antagonistic or villainous traits.

->''"Ahh, I'm so excited. My heart is dancing. Indeed, it's almost like a miracle."''

--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/HikaruMidorikawa
----
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Not only does his family own the school and rule the entertainment world, Eichi himself is Yumenosaki's student council president, who's also a member of "fine", the most powerful unit in the Academy and regarded as the school's top idol on his own. As evidence of his talent, the two units who have been shown to score against Fine, Trickstar and Akatsuki, won by ''very'' thin margin and ''only because Eichi was not in top condition''. There's also Valkyrie whom had almost won against Fine in the 2016 Tanabata event, losing because fine had more fans than Valkyrie since Valkyrie had been inactive in the Yumenosaki assigned lives for quiet a while. Emperor, indeed.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Due to his IllBoy status leading to his lack of stamina, Eichi's most effective method of practice is this.
* BlackComedy: He often jokes about his own death. As evident in the gunmen scout story.
* BreakThemByTalking: Eichi's favored method to bringing down the spirits of people, as it is hinted that he had done this to [[BreakTheHaughty Shu]] and Leo in the Marionette's memories event. He almost succeeded with Trickstar if not for Subaru and Anzu (In the games, as she doesn't appear in the manga).
* CombatSadomasochist: Not to quite that high of a level since Ensemble Stars has no actual fighting, but Keito calls him a hedonist, and his comments about "pain being a type of pleasure" to Leo imply that this might be the case.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: To quote Rei in the main story.
--> '''Rei''': Tenshouin-kun wears quite the cute face like an angel, but he's cruel like a demon.
* FirstNameBasis: Does this to the people he's close to, specifically his childhood friend Keito and Fine members. [[spoiler:When Hokuto defected to Fine in the main story, he also switched to his first name, and asked Hokuto to do the same with him]]. Curiously, he also refers to Chiaki by first name.
* FriendlyEnemy: Towards Anzu, Trickstar, The Oddballs, Leo... virtually a good two-third of the cast are/have been against him yet he welcomes with a smile.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Eichi didn't have the power to fight the influence of the Five oddballs at first. Especially in Marionette's memories where Shu disregards Eichi and having full pride of Valkyrie's performance and his defeat soon followed with many others viewing him in fear or either respect by the end of the "War".
* GracefulLoser: He takes his loss against Trickstar well, and even considers it a good experience. Though he understandably feels annoyed when Leo rubs it to his face.
* IAmAMonster: Or ''was'' anyway. He's aware of the many dreams he's devoured to stand where he is, and hence often refers to himself as a monster when talking about the past.
* IllBoy: He has always had a weak body since he was a young boy. It's revealed in the Quarrel festival event to have been hereditary.
* InSeriesNickname: People usually call him Emperor or Your Majesty, either in respect or fear... but Ritsu gets the credit for being the fearless one and giving him a special nickname: "Ecchan".
* {{Jerkass}}: A rather mild one. Seeing that he still held compassion, as seen in PetTheDog.
** JerkassHasAPoint: He rejected Chiaki's proposal of the Hero Show premise mentioned in the Hero Show gacha during the Supernova event. This may seem unnecessary till Eichi tells him that what Chiaki proposed would be seen as a stunt show, not an Idol related live, and it'll simply drop down the image of Ryuuseitai as an idol group if he accepts it.
* KickTheDog:
** In the main story, his plan on bringing Trickstar to disband involves using what he know against them. He baited Hokuto by having him join fine with the promise that his parents will finally be proud of him, having Makoto return to the modeling industry and had Mao affirm his loyalty to the student council. [[FailedASpotCheck Though he only failed with Subaru because he failed to realize that Subaru's love for money isn't monetary and failing to account Anzu's involvement]].
** And what he says to Shu after possibly sabotaging the already auto-tuned and recorded performance of Valkyrie.
--> '''Eichi''': Thank you for dancing the way I want you to.
** In the Quarrel festival event, he told Keito to get Akatsuki to disband. [[PetTheDog We will later know that this was his way to show that Keito no longer needs to support him and go for his own life]] in latter parts of the story, but it's still a very far-fetched and over the top way to show it.
** And in the recent 2016 Tanabata event, he baits Shu to let Valkyrie participate... By mentioning that he will destroy [[spoiler: Nazuna's current unit]] to it's very core. [[JerkassHasAPoint Though in his defense, Valkyrie would have been disbanded if they don't take Yumenosaki issued lives]].
* LargeHam: He uses grandiose expressions in his speech often, which Tori believes is because of his association with Wataru.
* ManChild: Keito says he's "brimming with youthfulness" which to Kuro, is another word for childish. To the accusation, Eichi responds that an Emperor is basically a child with power.
* PetTheDog: As questioning his actions was as the "Emperor", he actually cared about his fellow unit mates in the current fine. [[spoiler: (His older unit mates didn't care about him at all if the novel is any indication.)]] He also held his friendship with Keito in a high regard. And he is very close and open with Ritsu and Hajime who were members of the Tea Club.
* PrincelyYoungMan: Being the young heir to the influential Tenshouin family.
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense : Is very unfamiliar with the stuff commoners do. In the mall live, he mentioned that he had never actually gone to a mall before and had to look up information on what a mall is. Once he gets to the mall he practically acts like a very curious 5-year old. In the gunmen scout story, he never even went to an arcade before either.
* SanitySlippage: Not that he's insane, but in the end of the 2016 Tanabata event, he gets excited at the thought of Valkyrie almost winning against fine, and started talking about things he had done and achieved through the "war".

->''"Amazing! How do you do? I am your very own Wataru Hibiki...☆"''

--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/TakuyaEguchi
----
* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler: Tomoya is revealed to have been impressed by his acting when he sneaked into Yumenosaki academy with Shino during the Marionette's memories event. It's an {{Understatement}} to say that he is disappointed at Wataru's oddness.]]
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Amazing!" Note that it has an {{Engrish}} tone as he speaks his catchphrase.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: As befitting of one of the Three Oddballs, Wataru is a eccentric young man who seems to live in his own world.
* DrillSergeantNasty: The flower festival event reveals that he can be very pushy and demanding while training his juniors. Though due to this the juniors in the drama club complained to the student council about him.
* FirstNameBasis: Addresses the other two Oddballs, Rei and Kanata, by their first names. And the former Oddball, Shu, as well. He also calls Eichi by first name when he's not calling him "Your Majesty".
* GeniusDitz: Despite how dramatic and weird he is, Wataru is actually as good with performing as one has to be to be in what's considered the strongest unit of the Academy. Dancing, singing, instrument playing, you name it. [[VoiceChangeling He can even imitate someone's voice]] and do magic tricks as a bonus.
* HappilyAdopted: It's implied in the Thief Vs. Detective event that he's actually adopted.
* HiddenDepths: Despite having to make his fellow theater club members a victim to his own antics, he truly cared for his juniors. As hinted in the Thief Vs Detective event. [[spoiler: He is also the one to urge Nazuna to look after Tomoya who was about to form Ra*Bits back then which subsequently helped Nazuna to find true happiness, growing out of his BrokenBird state and leave Valkyrie.]]
* InSeriesNickname: "Masked Freak", alluding his frequent use of a mask and his eccentric behavior.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Crossdresses as a princess in some of the plays the theater club puts on, and apparently looks quite nice doing it, according to Tomoya. The player doesn't get to see it, though.
* LargeHam: He's the president of the Theater Club, after all, and it ''shows''. His catchphrase is said in the hammiest way imaginable, and his gestures are all great and dramatic, as if he never leaves the stage.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: The longest in the cast.
* TheNicknamer: He refers to certain characters by titles, like "Kousagi-san" (Little Rabbit) when talking to Nazuna, or "Ousama-san" (the King) in reference to Leo. He also calls Tori "Himegimi" (Princess) and Yuzuru "Shitsuji-san" (Mr. Butler). [[spoiler:In Flower Festival, he admits it's because he doesn't really want to remember people's name, even if he's perfectly capable of it. It's hard to tell what that says about the people he ''does'' refer by name, though.]]
* PunnyName: His name, in its original Japanese order, reads "to echo/resound".

--> '''Voiced by''': Creator/AyumuMurase
----
* AffectionateNickname: The Aoi twins call him "Hime-kun". He gets "Momo-kun" from Izumi and "Momo-chan" from Arashi. Wataru also calls him "Himegimi" (princess). That said, he's not fond of any of these.
* AttentionWhore: At times. In the game he's this especially towards Anzu. In the 4Koma manga, he throws a tantrum in the Tennis Club when Nazuna and Izumi argue over who's pairing up with Makoto in order to play a match, saying that they instead should be fighting over ''him''.
* AscendedFanboy: He originally joined Yumenosaki to perform with Eichi and later he got to be able to perform in the same unit as him.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Dogs latch to him easily, since he keeps one at home, as well.
* HeroWorship: He truly admires Eichi and the reason he joined Yumenosaki academy is to be with his idol.
* TheLoad: Tori knows what a burden he's being to the rest of "fine", as he confesses in the Circus event. Despite his complaints whenever forced into hellish training, he actually wishes to grow out of this.
* LonelyRichKid: The spy gacha story, 2015 Christmas event and the 2016 new year gacha reveal that his parents are away for business work during those occasions. That seems to hardly bother him as they do send letters, though he does admit that he's quite lonely.
* OppositesAttract: A friendship example with him and Hajime from Ra*bits. Tori's a spoiled rich boy and Hajime's the oldest of four children from a poor family and meek compared to Tori.
* RoseHairedSweetie: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. As an idol he invokes this, being seemingly a pink-haired cute little boy, but he's in fact quite spoiled and mischievous.
* ShelteredAristocrat: Tori has problems with doing simple things like ordering in a cafeteria, since he's not used to it. It's also implied that several aspects of his life have been controlled by people around him, from his parents to Yuzuru.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Tori, or Touri? While the game and official works had gone spelling his name with the former, there are times where you can hear Tori being called with the latter pronunciation, especially in the fine audio drama from the image song album.
* SpoiledBrat: At his worst, Tori has this written all over him, often acting completely childlike and being arrogant towards others, as well as calling those who aren't as well-born as he is "commoners" or "slaves".

->''"Maybe I've been too indulgent in raising him."''

--> '''Voiced by''': Koutaro Hashimoto
----
* BeautyMark: Below his right eye. At least two people have described it as sexy.
* DissonantSerenity : He is able to keep a smile on his face while saying or doing threatening things.
* FreudianSlip: In the 2016 Tanabata event, he slips to calling Tori by name to snap him out of the daze of seeing how loyal Mika was to Shu.
* HypercompetentSidekick: To Tori, to the point Keito finds him more helpful to the student council than Tori is, despite that it's Tori who's part of it and not him.
* {{Keigo}}: He never fails to be polite, even when insulting Tori.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: The novel implies that he used to be one.
* ServileSnarker: Doesn't really hesitate referring to his master as a "shitty brat" right in front of him. Or threatening him with a chainsaw when he doesn't behave.
* TerribleArtist: Yuzuru's artistic talent is apparently otherworldly, in the "you won't be able to tell what drawing it is until he tells you" sense. The only one who think they're any good is Midori, who names Yuzuru "Master Artist".
* UndyingLoyalty: To Tori, but that doesn't really stop him from being a ServileSnarker. Also to Eichi.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Dogs?]]: A mild example, he doesn't mind looking at them, but he will usually run in fear if they get close.
