Taiki Himekawa

He is a fairly attractive 22-year-old award-winning stage actor affiliated with the Lala Lai Theatrical Company with purple eyes, square-rimmed glasses, and tamed black hair.

As an award-winning star actor from the Lalalai Theatrical Group, he is a senior in their line of work, has a mature yet fairly laid-back personality, but quite... A company to have when going out on a cozy coffee date or a pleasurable night out at the bar. He is also talented and efficient when it comes to his roles, and while having a steady composure, he has shown to have little to no tolerance when it involves those who hurt or harm others. His cool-minded disposition is but a mask to how depressing he truly is for not only having witnessed murder-suicide of his parents as a child as well as having seen several actors and actresses die due to having paid the price of fame and fortune.

He is later revealed to also be Aqua and Ruby Hoshino's older half-brother, conceived when his mother, Airi Himekawa, had an affair with their father, Hikaru Kamiki, and prompting his legal father, Seijurou Uehara, to commit murder-suicide with her after he learned about it.

Taiki was born to Hikaru Kamiki (when he was 11 years old) and Airi Himekawa, who was married to Seijuro Uehara at the time. Taiki said that he was picked up by Toshirou Kindaichi from an orphanage, presumably after his parents' death, and has been raised by Toshirou ever since.

For the Tokyo Blade theater play, he is cast in the role of Blade, the protagonist of the story. After the play, he finds out that he are Aqua are relatives by blood after the latter perform DNA tests for everyone involved in the play. Later for The 15 Year Lie movie, he is cast the role of his legal father.

He does not own eye contacts and chooses to deliberately go without them. When portraying characters without glasses, he will simply not wear them. This is because, according to his belief, actors are able to portray characters by only using their movements. And even without glasses, he would be able to make their general movements.

He is normally a fairly laid-back guy who only cleans himself up before a performance. He is similarly disinterested in his studies, admitting to have never even bothered learning how to read kanji.

However, when acting, his demeanor completely changes as he thrusts himself into the character he’s playing as. His acting ability is also a source of pride for him, declaring that no performance in the stage play adaption of Tokyo Blade will outshine his own.

Although he was in a loving relationship with his girlfriend, Akemi Himeno, a beautiful and charming fashion model, social media influencer and actress, Taiki is a womanizer who loves to engage and hooking up with women for pleasures, but unlike Sakuya Kamoshida, who has no qualms pursuing underage girls in public, Taiki only interacts with age-appropriate women in strict membership-only hangout facilities concealed from the eyes of the press and public as part of his own code and conducts and even tells Aqua that he is even self-conscious about it as it reminds of his father.

Cool, calm, collected, confident, slightly mature and experienced yet laid-back, emotionally mature, friendly, flirtatious, talented yet very efficient in his acting skills, has a steady composure, reserved, charming, somewhat perceptive towards the people around him, has little tolerance towards people who would endanger or hurt them, caring and empathetic, patient and tolerant to those who are suffering or have lost a loved one, has a depressing worldview for having witnessed not only the murder-suicide of his parents but also the deaths of seven fellow actors and actresses, often acting as a stabilizing presence, pragmatic, vulnerable, seeks genuine connection with others
