Yuki Mahiro

**Yuki Mahiro** is a member of Anthos\*. His image color is **red** . He's called the Center of Anthos\* and has the position as the unit's Lead Rapper.

## Appearance

Mahiro has short red hair that's neatly combed and styled. He is among the shorter idols in the series, standing at only 174cm. He has large orange-ish brown eyes and a slim figure. He always wears an earring in his left ear.

## Personality

Straight-forward and reliable, but a little out of it, Mahiro is the loveable younger brother of Anthos\* who is good at getting others to spoil him. He’s generally a positive thinker, so much so that if there is something that he dislikes, he’ll soon forget about it if he has a nap or something to eat. He has a pure outlook and trusts easily, and he likes all of the other members very much. He doesn’t care very much about his appearance, so all of his clothes are out of style. He receives hand-me-downs from the other members who can’t stand his out-of-date look.

He refers to himself using "boku" (僕). His bright and cheerful personality, as well as his strong wish to create harmony help in keeping the group together. He's usually the first one to mediate between members and always wants all of them to spend time together. He's shown to be extremely caring towards everyone, to a point he would sacrifice himself in order to protect the others.

## Background

[This section contains spoilers. Expand to read.]

Mahiro is the youngest son of President Amagiri Hajime, to whom he is nothing but a nuisance. His older brother, Amagiri Chihiro, is none other than the Legend Class idol ChiHERO, who was once widely beloved but has disappeared from the idol world, claimed to have committed suicide when Mahiro was around 16 years old. It is implied that his mother passed away when he was still a child, leaving him with no one to rely on other than his older brother, to whom he looked up a lot.

He went to Amagiri Production's training school in order to fulfill his dream of becoming an idol alongside his brother, but failed all of the auditions. The only one giving him confidence and praising his abilities was Chihiro, because of whom he was able to keep smiling and standing strong. He implied that his current positive and cheerful personality is the result of wanting to please his brother. In season 3, Mahiro said that before meeting Anthos\*, he cared about no one else than Chihiro.

After his brother's death, Mahiro might have been suicidal for a while, as implied in the lyrics of STAY. He then decided to join the HanaDoll\*-Project with the sole intent of uncovering the truth behind his brother's death and exposing the dark secrets of Amarigi Production. Therefore, he ends up feeling guilty when he starts to wholeheartedly enjoy his new life and thinks that being expelled from the group is his "punishment" for not fulfilling the promise he made to his brother.
