Shin Oikawa

**Shin Oikawa** is one of the main characters of the series, Dream Festival! At the start of the anime he was put into the unit Traffic Signal, but is mainly known for the unit DearDream along with Kanade Amamiya, Junya Sasaki, and Chizuru Sawamura, and Itsuki Katagiri. His preferred brand is GRANDE DIAMANTE.

## Appearance

Shin has a fair complexion with short, dark blue hair reaching his ears with loose strands behind and in front of his ears. The tips of his bangs spike in opposite directions. His small, blue eyes have a slight slant. When he is not rehearsing choreography or performing, he is seen wearing black glasses.

At the Agency, he wears a white jacket lined in black with a blue cloth resting in his pocket to accent the lighter T-shirt worn beneath it. Included are black pants and shoes.

## Personality

At the beginning, Shin was shown to be cold and distant. He refused to help the group or even speak to them at times, but appeared to be lonely. After seeing how persistent Kanade was he slowly started to open up and speak more normally, until eventually befriending him and the others. He is a lot kinder, but remains stoic and cool. His calm and mature personality allows him to solve problems with ease.

Despite being regarded as mature and smart, Shin can be questionable at times. He loves sushi and when focusing on daunting tasks he tends to find a way to make it relate to Sushi to help him get through it.

On stage Shin appears the same, using his calm and cool personality to open up with the audience and charm them with his charisma.
