Fantasista Squad

Shinonome Akito is a second-year student at Shibuya College. He is a member of the street music group Vivid BAD SQUAD. When Akito was in elementary school, he played for a soccer team named Shibuya Diamonds. While he was one of the best on the team, he decided to quit after him and his team lost an important tournament. Some time after he quit playing soccer, his sister Ena brought him to a summer festival where she encouraged him to try singing. This kickstarted his interest in street music, which eventually grew into the dream of surpassing the legendary music event RAD WEEKEND. He looks up to Shiraishi Ken, An's father who performed in RAD WEEKEND, and practices hard to achieve his dream. He sang together with Toya under the name BAD DOGS before forming Vivid BAD SQUAD with An and Kohane. Even after joining Vivid BAD SQUAD, he still operates under the BAD DOGS unit with Toya. His father is an artist, and is shown to be emotionally neglectful to both him and his older sister. Luckily, he is trying to mend his relationship with both children. When he was a second year, Akito is classmates with An and Nene in class 2-A. Akito has olive-green eyes and messy orange hair with a dyed yellow streak on the left side of his center bangs. His voice is tough and powerful. He wears a black shirt with a light purple design around the mid-torso and the word "intrepid" printed across the front, as well as a longer white shirt underneath. He wears a black-and-white jacket with a yellow triangle on the left of the chest, black athletic pants with white stripes down the sides, and a yellow belt looped down on the right side. His second outfit consists of a white hoodie with the word "TRACK" printed on the front underneath a dark gray-and-orange jacket with the word "SCORCHING" printed diagonally across the front. He wears baggy black pants with a hot pink cloth around his left knee and a blue-and-white belt, and dark gray-and-black running shoes accented with orange. His earrings are different, with the left attached to a chain. Akito appears to be an easygoing guy at first. However, his personality drastically changes when music is involved, becoming hot-blooded and passionate to the point where people find him scary. He respects anyone who is passionate about their interest and hates half-hearted people. He acts polite towards acquaintances and strangers, but when in the presence of people he is familiar with, he drops this act, showing his true gruff personality. Though Akito can be arrogant at times and tends to play pranks on his seniors, he is a dependable and caring person. When Akito meets someone new, he puts on a charming persona, which Toya calls his "nice-guy persona" and seems to dislike. He is good at maintaining his polite facade and uses it when interacting with customers at his workplace. Tenma Tsukasa is a third-year student at Shibuya College. He is a member of the musical show unit Wonderlands x Showtime. Tsukasa's mother is a piano teacher and his father is the executive of a company. When he was younger, Tsukasa was less self-assured and more uncertain, frequently worrying about his sister Saki and her sickly condition. Because of her illness, he has years of experience playing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" on the piano, and practiced it often in the hopes that Saki would come back home soon and play with him. Ever since Tsukasa watched a show performed by his favorite theater troupe when he was young, he has dreamed of becoming the star of a world-famous show and making the world smile. After failing his audition to become a performer at the theme park Phoenix Wonderland, Tsukasa is hired by Emu to return the dilapidated Wonder Stage to its former glory with incredible performances. Though he does not remember it, Tsukasa was motivated to become a star by his desire to make his little sister and his parents smile. Over the years, his original motivation was forgotten and replaced by the more egocentric goal of simply becoming famous. Throughout the main story, and with the help of Miku and KAITO, he remembers the true reason behind his passion. As a third year, Tsukasa is classmates with Rui in class 3-C. Tsukasa has orange-yellow eyes, short scruffy blonde hair with peach tips, and his signature proud and big smile. His voice is firm and confident. His casual outfit consists of a white long-sleeved shirt with a pale blue collar and cuffs under a blue sweater vest with a fish embroidered on the left breast, and brown slacks. Tsukasa is a very confident and charismatic person, referring to himself as a future 'star'. He has a notable habit of showing off, alongside a tendency to get caught up in the moment. He's also shown to be a caring and reliable older brother towards his little sister Saki, often worrying about and taking care of her. Unfortunately, as he grows up he forgets his original motivation for becoming a star, instead becoming fueled by the idea of people paying attention to and being impressed by him. His newfound self-absorbance causes him trouble, blaming Nene for their first performance's failure, which leads to Rui harshly criticizing him. Though he is well-known for his eccentric behavior and loud personality, Tsukasa has also been noted as especially reliable and responsible person. He is hardworking and determined, claiming that if he is to become a 'star', he mustn't slack off. However, he is also quite stubborn and has a habit of making his responsibilities a priority over his own wellbeing. Kamishiro Rui is a third-year student at Shibuya College. He is a member of the musical show unit Wonderlands x Showtime. Rui and Nene are next-door neighbors, as well as childhood friends. Rui was the one who recommended her to join Wonderlands x Showtime. He manages the group's stage performances and is both an actor and stage director. Rui is also very skilled in inventing machinery and creates animatronics for the shows, including NeneRobo. Rui's father is a robotics engineer and his mother is a biologist. When Rui was in elementary school, he struggled to get along with his peers due to the differences what they found fun and interesting. Rui finds a love of theater through Nene, and decides to put on shows with his classmates. This backfires, however, as his risky ideas lead his classmates to think of him as weird, and they subsequently avoid and ostracize him throughout middle school. Rui eventually decided that he would perform shows on his own, using robots as his actors instead of real people. Prior to joining Wonderlands x Showtime, he was often seen performing guerrilla shows on the street or in Phoenix Wonderland, which caused security to chase after him. Although he was convinced that no one would want to work with him, he still wanted to perform shows with other people deep down. He is given this opportunity when he joins Wonderlands x Showtime, and appreciates how his troupemates are willing to try his inventions and stage directions. As a third year, Rui is classmates with Tsukasa in class 3-C. Rui has thin, amber eyes with red eyeliner along the crease, and uneven, choppy purple hair with two cyan streaks. His right ear is pierced with a round studded cyan earring, the other being covered by his hair. His voice is gentle, though it becomes strained when he is excited or curious. His casual outfit consists of a loose pale blue shirt with long pale yellow sleeves, decorated with designs in blue and pale brown, and two yellow lines down the front. He also wears dark gray slacks. His unit outfit consists of a black button-up with a large, crooked lime green and purple-striped bowtie, pants which are black on the left and white on the right, and black-and-white dress shoes with heels and purple laces. He wears a long, white double-breasted coat with dark checker-patterned cuffs lined with lime green and purple, a panel of pale purple on the left and on his back-right accented with lime green, and a black left sleeve. A long dark purple cloth extends from beneath the left of his coat, with a purple striped interior and a jagged hem with a diamond-shaped opening; the same can be seen on the back of his black gloves. Gold and purple buttons adorn his jacket, as well as two gold stars. Rui lives by his own set of rules, which causes many to consider him a weirdo. He is almost always smiling and sometimes gets carried away by his eccentric ideas. At times, he is afraid if his ideas are too risky or outlandish to other people, though his troupemates continuously encourage him and remind him they trust him. Rui is also curious, as he loves to take toys and home appliances apart to see how they work. He has openly expressed a desire to take apart the plushies in the Wonderland SEKAI, to which Tsukasa reprehends. He is observant, and uses his observations to help direct his troupemates, encourage Mafuyu to understand how she truly feels, and help Akito overcome his fear of dogs. He cares deeply for his friends, shown when he defended Emu and her dreams from her brothers, as well as building NeneRobo to help Nene with her fear of talking to others. He is also a teasing and playful person, with an example being his constant ideas for performances that often involve putting Tsukasa's life in danger. Aoyagi Toya is a second-year student at Shibuya College. He is a member and main track composer of the street music group Vivid BAD SQUAD. Toya's father, Aoyagi Harumichi was a famous classical musician and trained Toya and his two older brothers in classical music from a very young age, specifically piano and violin. His father would isolate Toya and force him to study classical music at all hours of the day. This caused him to despise his father, and by association, the entirety of classical music. As such, he started performing street music to rebel against his father and eventually met Akito while singing on the street. Currently, their relationship is getting better, and Harumichi has even came to a few of his concerts. He sang together with Akito under the name BAD DOGS before forming Vivid BAD SQUAD with An and Kohane. Even after joining Vivid BAD SQUAD, he still operates under the BAD DOGS unit with Akito. As a first year, Toya was classmates with Nene in Class 1-B. As a second year, he is classmates with Mizuki in class 2-B. Toya has sharp grey eyes and a mole under the corner of his left eye. His hair is short and bicolored, the right side a dark blue, the left a light blue. His voice is cool and calm. He wears a white hoodie with the letter "'n" printed on a small tag on the right of the hem under a green denim jacket with frayed spots, red stripes down the sleeves, and a red strap with the word "worth" printed along its length hanging from the right pocket. He wears black denim pants with frayed holes in the knees and a hanging red belt with a white stripe through the middle. Toya is quiet and calm but has a strong mind. His face is often deadpan, and people other than Akito and Tsukasa have difficulty reading his expressions. When people talk to him, they usually mistake him for being rude, as he is blunt and often misphrases his statements. Until becoming part of Vivid BAD SQUAD, he wasn't one to smile frequently. Despite his stoic demeanor, he is kind and quick to help others. He can occasionally be airheaded or gullible. He is good at studying and gets high grades, a trait that he shares with Kohane. He can sometimes be strict with Akito about the latter neglecting his studies. Tsukasa and Toya see each other as siblings, and will be reluctant to have any sexual or romantic relationships together. Akito is a top-leaning switch. Toya is a bottom-leaning switch. Tsukasa is a switch with no preference. Rui is a switch with no preference.
