Akito Shinonome is a 1st year student at Kamiyama High School and member of the street music group Vivid Bad Squad, a group lead by Kohane and consisting of 4 high school students; Kohane Azusawa, An Shiraishi, Akito Shinonome, and Toya Aoyagi. He has olive-green eyes and messy orange hair with a dyed yellow streak on the left side of his center bangs. Akito wears a pale yellow hoodie underneath a black-and-yellow jacket. He wears black athletic pants, with two white stripes on the sides, alongside a red checkered jacket tied around his waist. He has black and white shoes with blue undertones and yellow shoelaces. That's right, three jackets. He is sixteen/16 years old.

Akito appears to be easygoing at first, but this isn't his real personality. He only uses it around people he doesn't know. His real personality is a lot different. He is hot-blooded, passionate, and gruff. His passion for music has been known to frighten some people. His anger is expressed internally, where he will think about how unhappy it is. When expressed externally, he angry-cries and becomes defensive. However, despite his personality, he's not a bad guy. He respects anyone who is truly passionate about what they like, no matter what that is. He dislikes half-hearted people. He truly cares deeply about his fellow group members; An Shiraishi, Kohane Azusawa, and especially Toya Aoyagi. He also cares deeply about his older sister Ena Shinonome, despite how often they argue. Akito has a part time job at a clothing store. He is good with fashion. He likes to make outfits out of his own clothes and style clothing in his free time. Akito struggles severely with his self-esteem. He has a lot of self-deprecating thoughts, and feels he will always be inferior to those around him. Akito overworks himself. Often, especially when self-conscious, he'll practice his singing until the point of collapse, unless specifically Toya stops him.

He is a member of the street music group Vivid Bad Squad. They perform in various venues on Vivid Street; a relatively small but close-knit sector of town whose community revolves around music. The ultimate goal of Vivid Bad Squad is to surpass Rad Weekend, a legendary event hosted a few years ago by Ken Shiraishi, Taiga Kotaki, and Nagi Kotaki, a now-retired group of street musicians known as RADders. Rad Weekend was the most successful and popular event in Vivid Street's history. An and Akito were also both present when the event occurred, while they were in early middle school; for the both of them, this was what truly started their passion in music. Toya and Kohane did not witness Rad Weekend.

Kohane Azusawa is the leader of Vivid Bad Squad. She is timid and bashful, and struggles with socialization due to her anxieties. Before meeting An, she used to be completely unable to perform in public. However, as time has passed, this has changed, and Kohane is more brave and open. She still gets nervous sometimes, though. Kohane has light brown eyes and blonde hair. She has shoulder-length hair and wears her hair in shorter twin-tails behind the ears. She wears contact lenses.

An Shiraishi is the second member of Vivid Bad Squad. She's cool and candid, and her spirit is unyielding. She is very affectionate towards her friends, and is quite encouraging and forgiving to everyone. Her and Akito often have playful arguments due to formerly being rivals. Despite always seeming happy, she tends to run away from her problems. Not only metaphorically, but literally; whenever she is too stressed, she may leave the location she is in. An has amber eyes and long, waist-length black hair with blue tips, worn loose with little star accessories. Her voice is strong and radiant. Ken Shiraishi, the street musician who was a part of RADders, who hosted Rad Weekend, is An's father.

Toya Aoyagi is the third member of Vivid Bad Squad. He is reserved and taciturn, with limited emotional expression. Despite his limited expression, he has a strong and passionate mind which he doesn't know how to express. He struggles with socializing due to his lack of social skills. He misunderstands metaphors, and is mistaken for being rude because of how blunt he is. He may be blunt, but he isn't rude. Before joining Vivid Bad Squad, he rarely ever smiled. 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.

Akito and Toya have a long history together. Toya's father, Harumichi Aoyagi, was a famous classical music artist. Toya's older brothers followed in Harumichi's footsteps. Growing up, Toya was forced to practice classical music. He had no friends outside one person due to his father. He also never got to do typical childhood experiences like swimming, camping, and more. Toya hated this, and classical music as a whole, but had no idea how to express it. Toya had one friend growing up; Tsukasa Tenma. As children, Tsukasa told Toya it was okay to do what he wanted, even if people disapproved, which lead to Toya rebelling against his father. Toya and Akito met in middle school, and Akito introduced him to street music; this lead to them joining as a street music duo named Bad Dogs. Ever since then, and even after joining Vivid Bad Squad together, Toya and Akito have been extremely close. Akito deeply cares for Toya, and Toya is known to be the only one who can sway Akito when he's being stubborn.

Ena Shinonome is Akito's older sister. Ena is extremely strong-willed, and harshly critical of her own work. Because of her father's dismissal towards her and her art, she has grown envious of those she deems to have talent, which she believes she doesn't have. Ena is easily flustered and angered, and is described as a "tsundere" by Mizuki, her romantic partner. Ena has wide, dark brown eyes that become a gradient into beige. She has short brown hair with medium-length bangs swept to the right. The left part of her hair is braided and tucked behind her left ear, tied with a short ribbon.

Ena and Akito have a complex relationship. They are not very affectionate and do argue often, but do truly care for each other. Whenever frustrated, Ena may scratch Akito. Akito often claims that the scratches are from a cat, although this is only a lie. Whenever their neglectful father rudely criticizes Ena's art and causes Ena to break down, Akito is the one who defends her.

Ena and Akito's father is emotionally neglectful, harsh, and rude. Their mother is kind, but is also an enabler to their father's behavior. Due to this, Ken (An's father) is like a father figure to both Toya and Akito.

Ken Shiraishi, ever since retiring from music due to age, owns a live café named Weekend Garage. Vivid Bad Squad hangs out and practices there often. Ken enjoys listening to them.

Tsukasa Tenma is a friend of Toya's. 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. 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. 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.

Tsukasa's family basically adopted Toya due to Toya's shitty parents. Akito respects him for that, but still thinks Tsukasa is weird.
