== Appearance ==
Eichi is a tall young man with light blue eyes and smooth, pale blonde hair that is cut below his jawline. He also has long bangs.
On stage, Eichi wears fine's uniform, which includes a three-piece suit with a white diamond-shaped cravat that is tinged pale gold at the bottom. His tailcoat is mainly white in color, although it is lined with pale blue fabric, and is decorated with golden embellishments on the lapels and collar.

==Personality==
Soft-spoken and articulate, Eichi presents himself with the general elegance of someone raised in high society. He generally emotes with various shades of faint smiles regardless of situation, and treats most situations with an airy lack of gravity and general interest, with a preference for the wild and unpredictable. Very little breaks his cordial demeanor, and, should something upset him, he would rather tuck that away at his breast and return the favor tenfold later. He is inclined toward childishness in regards to how easily he is entertained, and how petty he can be.
Beneath his politeness, Eichi is both ruthless and loving. He will fall short of no machination to gain what it is he wants, but his underlying motivations are largely good— he wants to create a better future for the generations that succeed him and his peers, so those younger will not have to suffer the way their predecessors have. However, what makes him so contentious among his peers is that Eichi always opts for efficiency: being terminally ill, Eichi has very little time and very little experience with the world, and so he chooses the fastest—the fastest being often the cruelest—path from A to B, as well as the path that offers him the most entertainment.
Eichi has lived most of his life confined to a hospital bed, so weak that he was often unable to even feed himself; when he was able to leave the hospital, he was friendless and isolated, surrounded by vultures who wanted to climb into his good graces as heir to the Tenshouin Zaibatsu, the largest conglomerate in Japan's entertainment industry. This has left him, in short, lonely; his only company for a long time was watching idols on the hospital television, as well as movies and books. In a less tragic assessment of affairs, this means he is clumsy with basic social concepts like friendship, and he is long-winded and dramatic from having socialized mainly with movies and books. He also has a fondness for making puns.The King's Horseback RideJudge of Knights Stage Play
When Eichi was younger, he used to be a spoiled child who behaved much like Tori.Quarrel Festival Despite being mostly confined to the hospital as a kid, he was able to make friends with Chiaki, another sickly child who often frequented the hospital, and they occasionally enjoyed superhero shows together. However, as time passed, Eichi grew contempt towards the concept of heroes, claiming that they are glorified killers.Supernova However, his contempt may also be partly connected to his belief that he was a hero in the past.Element
During the War era, Eichi demonstrates difficulty understanding that people would befriend genuinely, instead of only wanting to use him for his connections as a Tenshouin. This led to a fracture in his relationship with Tsumugi in the past. Later on, Eichi says he no longer has the right to be Tsumugi's friend, despite Tsumugi expressing that he'd like to be friends again.Saga During that time, Eichi considered Wataru to be his ideal idol; later on, he expresses that he'd like to become an idol Wataru admires as well. In addition, Eichi hopes he'd like to be for Tori what Wataru is for him.Jingle Bells

The second is that the Orion Nebula, also known as the "Cradle of Stars", is where many new stars are born, just as Eichi produces many idols through Ensemble Square.Compass of the Sky
