Toshiki Masuda

**Iori Izumi** (和泉一織(いずみいおり)) is Mitsuki Izumi's younger brother who has a "cool" personality. His parents run a cake shop called “Fonte Chocolat”, and the interior is decorated cutely, which influences him to like cute things in the end.

Iori carries a superior air but has proper manners, although he possesses a poisonous tongue. He likes to have things well-planned and executed orderly, which is why if anything goes wrong, he cannot deal with it.

Iori was scouted when he was still a first year in high school and he was on the way home after a shopping trip. Otoharu Takanashi spotted Iori while he was doing his shopping and followed him to the train station where he sat down next to him. He tried talking to Iori but the latter was mostly ignoring him. Even on the train, he tried getting Iori to talk and asked him about his hobbies, what sort of music he liked, and about his family, which made Iori think that he was a stalker. Iori, being cautious, moved down two carriages to get away from him, but Otoharu persistently followed where he handed him his business card and eventually followed him home. Iori only accepted Otoharu's business card because he was thinking about Mitsuki, who had just failed another audition and was feeling down.

## Trivia

* Iori actually really loves cute things, especially the Usamimi Friends Collection, but refuses to admit it. He’s afraid of people finding out because he has a cool image. He even lists “cool and sharp things” under his “likes” and “small and cute things” as his “dislikes” in his bio, to uphold that cool image.
* He was on student council at his previous high school. He transferred to a new high school with Tamaki when he got scouted. According to Iori, "this high school is tolerant of absences and early departures", since they have their idol jobs.
* His favorite fashion accessory is a jacket.
* Iori is terrible at lying.
* Iori is extremely ticklish. Mitsuki mentions that Iori’s entire body is covered in weak points, and as a kid, he would often take advantage of it.
* Iori was scouted by the president while returning from a shopping trip after school and only accepted it on a condition that Mitsuki would be scouted too.
* When the Izumi Brothers quarrel, Mitsuki is usually the one who will make amends first.
* According to Tamaki, Iori is popular with the girls at school. A girl from the class next door once asked Tamaki what Iori liked because she wanted to get Iori a Christmas present.
* Tamaki was the one who decided on the occupation for Iori's job experience. Initially, Tamaki wanted something challenging for Iori since he can do anything easily, and he thought of "Body Builder Iorin". The thought of a "Buff Iorin" made both Tamaki and Tsumugi laugh. In the end, Tamaki decided on a newscaster for Iori, as he seems to be well liked by the television staff, and plus Iori has a perfect business smile.
* Has a sweet tooth comparable to Tamaki’s.
* Iori usually doesn’t hum songs. But there was once when he was standing in the kitchen, Riku started singing Fly away! while rummaging through the refrigerator, and at the place where it’s Iori’s part, Riku will fall silent. Iori then began to sing because he lost to the pressure of the silence.
* After seeing Riku drunk, Iori vowed that even if he’s an adult, he will never drink. Tamaki also made that same vow.
* Yamato makes character lunches for the Underage Group in IDOLiSH7. And whenever he makes omurice for the members, he sticks a flag in only Iori and Tamaki’s omurice.
* Iori tags along with Nagi on walks. This is because small animals are attracted by Nagi, and he often encounters stray cats while on walks.
* Whenever Nagi hugs Iori, he will touch his butt because he enjoys the way that Iori will scream.
