Shigeru Sato

History
Born in Hong Kong to a Japanese father and a Chinese mother, Shigeru is the only child of an extremely well-off family. His parents are both entrepreneurs: his father is the CEO of several successful night clubs and also a chain of ramen shops. His mother owns a well-known fashion boutique. But despite this luxurious lifestyle, Shigeru's understanding of the world from an early age was largely shaped by the fact that his parents’ disapproving families disowned them over his very existence.

As an idol, he’s a sort of jack of all trades, master of none. He's often invited to be a guest star or MC on variety and reality tv shows because of his outgoing personality but his eccentric antics frequently overshadow his actual talent as an idol (not that he particularly minds). But first and foremost he’s always wanted to be an entertainer. Now in his third year, he is splitting his time between his agency in Hong Kong which handles his solo career and his work in japan with his pet project SYNTHERGY. He does the bulk of his coursework off campus and as a result, he's often exhausted but he hides it behind a facade of cheerful nonchalance.

Relationships
Minoru Kurogane

Unit mate who Shigeru scouted during their first year after witnessing an impressive performance. While they are discreetly hooking up, it would be an oversimplification to say that they're "dating." Caught up in a web of mutual attraction and co-dependency mixed with a serious lack of communication skills, their relationship is decidedly toxic but Shigeru is in too deep to call things off now.

Haruki Kurogane

Minoru's twin brother who Shigeru enjoys antagonizing because he loves to flirt with death. He knows about Shigeru's relationship with Minoru which adds fuel to the fire.

Megumi Mizuta

Shigeru's ex-girlfriend. After their break up, he purposefully leaked the details of their relationship to the press in order to present his side of the story first. This allowed him to control the coverage in a way that showed him favorably while permanently damaging Megumi's public image.

Hae Tukiyo

Shigeru sees the student council president as his equal and rival. He has feelings for him that are difficult to define but he is determined to bury them.

Trivia
