"All I want is just to keep improving." ―Shinonome Ena (Brand New World) Shinonome Ena (東雲 絵名) is a third-year student at Kamiyama High School, but she only attends part-time night classes. She's the illustrator for the underground music circle 25-ji, Nightcord de.

Ena goes by the alias Enanan (えななん) online.

"Ena's desperate craving for recognition has led to her becoming addicted to social media. Her dad is a famous painter, and she posts her own art online. Kanade came across Ena's artwork, and invited her to join the group as an illustrator."

Ena's father is a famous artist and her inspiration for drawing, however, he does not believe she has what it takes to become a professional artist. She is also Akito's older sister; and she knows her way around social media, being relatively popular online. Her selfies are shown to get more recognition than her illustrations.

From the "On This Blank Canvas, I Paint" event, it is shown her craving for acceptance began when her art teacher in middle school claimed one of her paintings was just "okay." The next few days, Ena worked hard on her next piece in hopes of receiving praise from the stern man, only for him to tell her she's trying too hard and proceeding to shower the other students' work in praise. She didn't know how she felt nor did she didn't have anything to say.

Yoisaki Kanade saw some of her illustrations online and invited her to join her circle as an illustrator. It's revealed that Ena has once uploaded her own cover of one of Kanade's songs.

Ena has wide brown eyes and short brown hair with medium bangs swept to the right as well as a short braid tucked behind her left ear tied with a short ribbon. Her voice is sweet and airy.

Original In her unit outfit, she wears a dark gray, long-sleeved school uniform which fades into different shades of gray; black lace on the hem of the dress with white frills. The cuffs of her dress are a darker shade of gray with light gray stripes. A white collar sits around her neck on the dress with an orange-and-black colored tie. A black-and-grey ribbon is tied around her dress near her chest. She wears a pair of black low heels with white frilly socks. On her feet, she has a pair of white ruffled socks that end at her ankles and black shoes that have a t-shaped strap on the front.

In her casual outfit, she wears a pink, frilly, long sleeved top and a short, frilly, black skirt with a pair of black low heels, as well as a black choker. The ribbon that holds her braid in is black.

While at her night classes, she wears the standard female uniform for Kamiyama High School — a short blue pleated and plaided skirt with a collared shirt (hers being a yellow-based white) — with black tights and a closed yellow-beige cardigan.

Brand New World Ena has three outfits as of Brand New World.

Her unit outfit consists of a black turtleneck dress, with a bow that fades to light brown looped through eyelets at her collar. She wears gray socks with black heeled Oxford shoes.

Her casual outfit consists of a green blouse with black bows, tucked into a brown checkered skirt.

Her school outfit is the standard Kamiyama High School uniform with a bow tie, with sheer black tights and a light brown cardigan under her suit jacket.

Ena is a strong-willed girl. When she draws, she starts living in her own world, and disregards everything around her. As observed by her fellow members, she forgets to turn off her mic, and they then hear her muttering several comments about her illustrations, mostly about how they're not what she is going for. Because of her father's inability to accept her and her illustrations, she's grown envious of those she deems to have talent and becomes bitter when those people throw it away; as she does not believe she has talent. Furthermore, she craves attention and praises for her art, leading her down the road of perfectionism. She gets flustered when her fellow members compliment her and angry when they do otherwise.

She is also described as a "tsundere" by Mizuki. Though she is not usually cold, she would hesitate when her friends would suggest ideas she is not into. She is also known to be kind of sarcastic towards them as well. However, she also has a caring and soft side as well. In Secret Distance, she becomes worried of Mizuki while they were trying to find Mafuyu, because they went into the Empty SEKAI to find her. In the last scene of the story, she worries about them (Mizuki) again, as she woke up and saw their frown in the train moments ago in the story. She is also a scaredy-cat, as seen in the same event story, where in she constantly screams while the group walks through the rumored haunted tunnel.

Ena wants attention, as it somewhat gives her comfort and happiness. She is fond of taking selfies of herself and posts them online, and is very proud of them. As seen in one of the 1-panel comics, she panics because her selfies usually lose to cat videos. In the stories of 25-ji, Nightcord de., she is sometimes seen taking a selfie when she is down and posts it on the internet. She would then cheer up because of the compliments and praise from the comments she sees.

Yoisaki Kanade: Fellow circle member. Ena is grateful that Kanade saw worth in her illustrations and has a soft spot for her as she never speaks to her rudely compared to her other circle members. Asahina Mafuyu: Fellow circle member. Ena is jealous that Kanade gives Mafuyu a lot of attention and feels frustrated that Mafuyu doesn’t seem to appreciate her own talent. As the story progresses the two understand each other’s struggles better, becoming good friends. Akiyama Mizuki: Fellow circle member. They often argue and the Nightcord chat is filled with their bickering but they still actually care for each other a lot. When Ena saw Mizuki's pained face in Secret Distance, she became concerned for them, trying to get them to tell her what was wrong. After unsuccessfully trying to get them to open up to her in Tell Me Your Problems! Exciting Picnic, she decides to confront them directly about it in My Footprints, Your Destination, telling them that even if they couldn't tell her right then, she would wait for as long as she needed. Mochizuki Honami: Acquaintances. Ena helped her and Emu with their drawing skills in preparation for their drawing with children in the event Paint What You Love ♪ Rainbow Canvas. Honami is amazed by her art skills because her own drawing skills were horrible. Momoi Airi: Best friends. They have been best friends with each other since middle school and constantly recommend each other cool camera filters or cute cafés. Hinomori Shizuku: Acquaintances. They met through Airi during Tell Me Your Problems! Exciting Picnic. Ena was amazed by her beauty, and even more amazed at the fact that she doesn't use makeup. Shiraishi An: Acquaintances. They met during In the Corner of a Resonant Town. Shinonome Akito: Ena's younger brother. Ena was the one who encouraged him to pursue music when they were little, as seen in Ringing Sounds at the Summer Festival. Despite them attending same school, Ena only takes night classes compared to Akito, who attends normal day classes. Ena shares the same food likes and dislikes with her brother, Akito. She gets annoyed when Mizuki mentions this in her introduction video. The two often argue and Ena even throws stuff at Akito when she’s angry, but still cares for him as shown in the summer festival. Otori Emu: Acquaintances. Ena helped her and Honami with their drawing skills in preparation for their drawing with children in the event Paint What You Love ♪ Rainbow Canvas. Ena is amazed at her expensive art supplies, telling her not to waste them.

Ena's plushies that she sometimes uses in her selfies were given to her by Akito who got them from Toya, who keeps giving them to Akito because of how many he has from his skill at claw machines. Her favorite foods are cheesecake and pancakes, but if she had to choose only one, she would prefer cheesecake. Her least favorite food is carrots.

Profile Gender Male Birthday November 12 Height 176 cm School Kamiyama High School (Class 2-A) Hobbies Fashion coordinating Talents Beatboxing Dislikes Dogs Image color #FF7721 Seiyuu Imai Fumiya Aoyama Reina (childhood) "This world isn't one where you can treat life as one big picnic." ―Shinonome Akito (Original)

"There's no way I'll be satisfied with this level of skill!" ―Shinonome Akito (Brand New World) Shinonome Akito (東雲 彰人) is a second-year student at Kamiyama High School. He's part of the street music group Vivid BAD SQUAD.

"Akito was inspired to get into music by An's dad. He sings with his partner Toya at the BAD DOGS clubhouse. He seems like a gentle-mannered boy, but there's also another side to his personality."

Akito has been a street musician since middle school. He looks up to Shiraishi An's father, who was a street musician as well. His interest in street music was first inspired by when he was in elementary school and Ena took him to see the summer festival. This interest became a passion when he saw RAD WEEKEND.

Together with Toya, he sings at event houses under the name as "BAD DOGS". While this is not as common following the formation of Vivid Bad Squad, sometimes he and Toya will still perform together without An and Kohane, mostly if the two girls are unavailable.

Akito has yellow-green eyes and short orange hair, with a single yellow streak in his bangs. The yellow streak is dyed, while his orange hair is natural. His right ear has one lobe piercing and his left ear has two, and wears different types of earrings depending on his outfit.

Original Akito's outfit consists of a light yellow hoodie underneath a black jacket with yellow accents, a plaid shirt wrapped around his waist, and black jogging pants with white stripes. He also wears black and white high-cut sneakers with blue accents.

His school uniform, shown in cards like his 1☆ card, consists of a blue jacket that is gray on the inside, a white shirt, blue pants, and a tie.

Brand New World Akito has three outfits as of Brand New World.

His unit outfit consists of a white pullover hoodie, layered under a black and orange jacket with the word "SCORCHING" printed on it. He wears black joggers with magenta accents, a blue and white belt, and gray sneakers with black, white, and orange accents.

His casual outfit consists of a black t-shirt with a zebra print graphic and the word "intrepid" printed on the front. Over the tee is layered a black and white jacket. He wears black joggers with a grey stripe down the side, and a yellow belt.

His school outfit is the standard male Kamiyama High School uniform with a tie and a black zip-up hoodie layered on top.

Akito, when first meeting a person, acts polite and respectful. However, when he is close to a person or music is involved in the conversation, he drops this and acts how he normally is. He is hot-blooded, passionate, and gruff. He is very determined about his goals. He dislikes people who are half-hearted and dispassionate about what they like, and respects anyone who is truly passionate about what they enjoy.

While Akito may act rude towards his friends, this does not reflect how he truly feels. Deep down, he strongly cares about the people surrounding him. This is shown in a lot of places, including his affection towards Toya (depicted in his Waiting for That Day to Come card), how he does care about Ena (shown in multiple places, including throughout the Ringing Sounds at the Summer Festival event), and how he does not actually hate Tsukasa and Rui. (a few examples are shown in the The Gentleman Thief's Thrilling White Day!? and At This Festival Tinged With Twilight events, respectively.)

Akito struggles with his insecurities. He often feels inferior to his group members, and to compensate, he overworks himself. If no one is there to stop him, he will often practice his singing until he either loses his voice or collapses from exhaustion, neglecting his needs in the process.

Azusawa Kohane: Fellow group member. Previously, Akito saw her as a complete newbie who has no idea what she's getting into. That view has changed, though, and now they get along. Shiraishi An: Fellow group member. They're rivals, although they still get along and work together with the rest of their group to surpass RAD WEEKEND. A lot of their rivalry is not very serious, such as minor competition when it comes to test scores. They initially met in middle school on Vivid Street, although they never became close until Vivid Bad Squad formed. Akito can also sense when An is feeling off. Aoyagi Toya: Fellow group member and best friend. Before joining VBS, Akito and Toya had their own group called BAD DOGS. Akito trusts Toya a lot. Momoi Airi: Friends. They know each other and interact sometimes. When they were both younger, Akito once made a promise to Airi saying that he would make sure Ena is okay. Tenma Tsukasa: Friends(?): Akito finds Tsukasa a bit annoying and loud. He constantly pranks Tsukasa with bugs. However, he does not hate him, and has helped Tsukasa out and complimented his acting on a few occasions. Akito is thankful to Tsukasa for how he encouraged Toya to pursue what he wanted to do instead of what his father forced him to do when the two were younger children. Otori Emu: Acquaintances. They met in Close game/OFFLINE. Emu wants him to say wonderhoy, which he refuses to do. Kusanagi Nene: Acquaintances and currently classmates. Nene thinks it's weird how he has a split personality, but recognizes his stubborness and passion. Kamishiro Rui: Friends(?) Akito believes that Rui is a bit strange, and dislikes how Rui attempted to use reverse psychology on him in the A Song of Vows for You, Dressed in Pure White! event. However, like Tsukasa, he does not hate Rui. When Rui became injured in the At This Festival Tinged With Twilight event, at the Shibuya Festival, Akito was the one who helped him receive medical attention. Rui also enjoyed the performance put on by Vivid Bad Squad in the same event. Asahina Mafuyu: Acquaintances. Mafuyu knows him as Ena's brother, and Akito thanks her for putting up with his sister. Ena thinks that it's annoying how they both have fake personalities. Shinonome Ena: Akito's older sister. Ena was the one who encouraged him to pursue music when they were little, as seen in Ringing Sounds at the Summer Festival. They constantly fight. Ena has been noted to do things like scratch Akito or throw things at him. This does not mean they dislike each other, though. The two care about each other at the end of the day, despite the argumentative nature of their bond. Akiyama Mizuki: Mizuki constantly teases Akito and calls him "ototou-kun," or in the English version, "Lil' Bro," due to being Ena's younger brother, which annoys him. Mizuki can recognize Akito's voice in the background of Ena's Nightcord calls. Mizuki and Akito share an enjoyment of fashion. He's terrified of dogs, due to him being bitten by one when he was little. This is seen in part one of his 1* card's short stories, when Minori's dog, Samo, comes up to him. Contrary to his hair color, Akito does not like carrots. Akito's favorite foods are cheesecake and pancakes, but if he had to choose only one, he would choose pancakes. He is the only character who has ever dyed their hair; while his orange hair is natural, the singular yellow streak is dyed, confirmed by his childhood 2D model, where the streak is not present.
