Kazuki Haiga

**Kazuki Haiga** (灰賀一騎, *Haiga Kazuki*) is a character from the *Confession Executive Committee's* *Idol Series*, a member of the idol group "DOLCE" and the best friend of Fuuma Shirayuki. He is one of the singers and performers, and is currently in his third year of middle school.

## Appearance

Kazuki is a blue-haired honey-eyed young boy of average height and normal build. When he was at his first year of Middle School, he read in a magazine that a piercing in the left ear means "Someone to Protect". Since then, Kazuki always use one in his own left ear to represent his desire to keep Fuuma safe.
## Personality and Traits

He is very helpful and often changes his own opinions to match with other people's points of view. That makes him a very susceptible person, and occasionally some individuals take advantage of this without Kazuki noticing it. However, due to his high sensitivy, Kazuki is excellent at finding others' strong points and making them feel better.
## Relationships

#### Fuuma Shirayuki

Kazuki's chilhood best friend and apparently the only one who stood by his side as a child, even when his biological father used to beat him and make him cry. They were always very close and do not argue very often, but, according to Kazuki's words, over the years they drifted further and further apart, without any specific reason. Fuuma still doesn't realise that Kazuki loves him as more than just a friend and thinks he likes Yui because of a little misunderstanding.
#### Sara Tojou

Kazuki's idol unit partner and one of his closest friends besides Fuuma. Sara gets on well with him, unlike most of the people around them. He said it's because Kazuki is not noisy, reckless or selfish like the others, but sometimes, his exaggerated helpfulness and vulnerability bothers him a lot. Occasionally, Sara makes jokes about being attracted to him but Kazuki just doesn't get it or completely ignores it.
#### Yui Arisugawa

Member of the Idol unit "Sakura Michi" that works for same music label as DOLCE. They started to interact more as a result of a private talk about how they both like the same person. Eventually, they helped each other to confess their feelings towards Fuuma, but Kazuki knew from the beginning that the only one who could do it would be Yui.
#### Kippei Nemuri

A fellow member of DOLCE and a close friend. They really support each other and have some friendly talks from time to time.
#### Girisha Mameido

A fellow member of DOLCE, and also Kazuki's friend. They get along well but do not interact too much with each other.
