―Akashi Izumi

Akashi Izumi *(明石マキト)* is a first-year at Kamiyama High School. He is a member of the underground musical circle Ghostsillica.

## Background

Izumi's twin sister was an idol. An idol who everybody loved and everybody knew. Even though his parents favored her, he still loved and cared for his sister and always came to her aid. His childhood consisted of him managing, protecting, and producing music for her and her group.

After his sister's idol group disbanded, he realized how much life would change. He wanted to keep making music, though, so he joined an online music circle from the recommendation of his sister. Things started to get worse, as his parents started to work more and he only had his sister. He left the group when he grew into a depression from the pressure to keep living.

His parents started to become cold, as they only cared about their daughter's fame, forcing her to keep up a famous profile. He felt guilty he stood and watched, as all he wanted was to have his sister safe and happy, which he was failing at, leading to him being afraid of failing and messing up. He became more harsh and rude to others and especially himself.

He is classmates with Nene, Toya, and Minaya.

## Appearance

Izumi has soft and fluffy black hair that fades into a mild grey tone. A long strand of hair hangs to the side. His eyes are a dark and bold red.

#### School Uniform

At school, Izumi wears the standard Kamiyama uniform, a white collared undershirt, blue pants, a dark blue tie with red-and-white stripes, and a blue blazer over it.

#### Casual

Izumi's casual outfit consists of a loose neutral red collared shirt, brown pants, and black sneakers with white laces. He wears two silver necklaces, one being a pendant of his sister and him, the other being a plain chain.

## Personality

Izumi stays quiet and only talks when needed. He intends to stay perfect and on top of his grades, in fear of messing up. He will do whatever he's told just to get it out of the way. He doesn't exactly know what he wants his future to be, only thinking of disappearing once it's all finished. He normally gets angry and bottles up all his anger and emotions.

He began to be more happy with his music after he met Gentaro. He felt in place and at peace with music. He let go of his anger and wanted to keep making music with the circle.

The only people he seems to be patient with are his sister and Gentaro. Other than that, he seems to be rude to or completely ignore others. He doesn't have a lot of friends at school and out of school, as he only talks to Daiki. Though, Nene and Akito seem to be able to just barely communicate with him.

## Relationships

Murofushi Gentaro: Circle member. They both have similar auras. Izumi thinks highly of Gentaro and cares about him.

Shimazaki Daiki: Circle member. Izumi and Daiki talk a lot since Daiki is the only person he talks to at school. They usually eat lunch together.

Akashi Hiyori: Izumi's twin sister. The idol who he helped all his life. They both have an unbreakable bond, both protecting each other through all occasions. Izumi felt guilty when he couldn't salvage her and her group from disbandment.

Hirasawa Fukuta: Circle member. Fukuta likes to talk to Izumi and annoy him too, which Izumi has gotten used to. Sometimes, Fukuta makes his head hurt.

Kiritani Haruka: Friends who met when Izumi's sister was an idol. His sister and Haruka were under the same agency, so he often saw Haruka and talked every once in a while, usually about work and sometimes penguins.

Kusanagi Nene & Shinonome Akito: Nene and Akito often come to talk to Izumi, resulting in him ending the conversation quickly. Nene and Akito are both extremely intimidated by Izumi, yet share the goal of trying to talk to him because of a "strange aura" and of his sister.

Hanasato Minori: Acquaintances. They know each other through Haruka. Minori appears to be intimidated to Izumi, but warms up to him and he helps her in the event, "Smiling in this Euphoric Painted Festival," by quickly escorting her to her stage with MMJ when she gets swallowed by a crowd and fixing their equipment.
