Shinonome Akito and Aoyagi Toya

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. 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. Relationship together : Akito is Toya's fellow group member and best friend. They met in middle school and have been practically inseparable ever since. Akito helped him find where he belongs after he quit classical music and understands Toya's distant relationship with his father. They are partners in the unit BAD DOGS and trust each other a lot. Toya feels thankful to have Akito in his life. The two have a unique dynamic between them, as Akito is shown to be very protective of Toya, especially when Rui and Tsukasa are involved, likely due to his knowledge of Toya's gullibility and difficulty communicating. Toya is also the only one shown to have any sway over Akito's stubbornness, as on various occasions he's convinced Akito to participate in activities he didn't want to do, such as when Akito refused to help Rui as an extra dancer in a wedding event when Rui took over the directors role because the actual director fell sick but changed his mind after Toya made his heartfelt plea to him. Toya mentions that Akito is his first true friend and thought that ‘a person like himself’ would only weigh down Akito’s dream. He goes on to say that even An and Kohane are more suitable to carry his ambitions because they’re more similar to him in the way that they chose their path and wholeheartedly believe that they could keep going. But Akito goes on to confront Toya about this and says that he would never team up with anybody other than Toya. Akito then calls Toya the best partner he could ever ask for who just thought that he was halfhearted, despite that not being true. As a testament to how close they are, he’s the only non-VIRTUAL SINGER that Toya refers to by their first name without using any honorifics. Toya states that he trusts Akito more than anyone else, and wants to remain by his side as his partner “from now and forever”. Because Akito has done so much for him, Toya wants to help Akito in the same way Akito has helped him, and goes out of his way in many cases to take care of him.
