Ashikaga Daisuke

**Ashikaga Daisuke** is a second-year at **YamiTsume High School** and is the laid-back bassist of the band **Majesty**. Daisuke is an eccentric fellow with a "chill" personality, rummaging through his collection of tarot cards and minding his own world. He wants to be a fortune teller when he grows up and aspires to learn the world of Tarot deeper.

Outside of his bands and classmates, he frequently chats and walks home with her classmate and good friend **Bestisia**, both who are also members of the **Archery Club**. **Jacob** is also a good friend of his, which he confides in a lot.

He and **Azama** are constantly chased around by **Genrai** and **Chosuke** around the school, which caused **Waichiro** to chase them down.

Daisuke thinks of **Xoligan** as an underclassman and a kouhai at the Archery Club, so he doesn't mind him really much. The two just can't find something to talk about, but are friends regardless.

Daisuke was asked by **King** (and **Lancelot**) to join the **Music Club** under King's newly formed band.

## Background

Daisuke is a very unlucky individual ever since he's 4 years old, falling into countless, unfortunate tragedies along the way. His bad luck only seemed to decrease when he met a fortune-teller who asked him to draw a Tarot card to determine his future. He drew the "Magician", which is a good sign.

For the first time in his life feeling a shift in luck, he decided to study the arts of Tarot. This, in turn, turns him into a card collector. He plays cards games of the sort and collects trading cards since then.

## Appearance

Daisuke has flaming red hair and contrasting blue eyes. He has a rather normal appearance, except for several skin bruises he suffered due to his bad luck. He also has eyebags because he's unable to sleep sometimes, which is the reason why he sometimes sleeps in the class.

His winter wear and casual wear are the same, which consists of a cap, blue jacket, a black shirt and blue jeans.

His summer wear includes a white tank-top, a purple shorts and a necklace with the shape of a ring. He has his Tarot Card holder tied at his pants.

## Personality

Daisuke is an incredibly cool character, usually shuffling around his Tarot Cards in class or just looking at his class' scenery (he loves it a lot). He loves talking with people who is interested in fortune telling or magic, usually if people asks him to do fortune-telling on him.

Daisuke has no trouble talking to girls, shown as he mostly interacts with Bestisia, his good friend and classmate, whom both frequently seen going home together, before their respective band's eventual formation. They still hang out a lot despite the band practice, however. He also is unfazed when **Leon** thought Bestisia is his girlfriend, implying he had no such thoughts of romantic feelings for Bestisia.

Daisuke loves interacting with people with manners, explained how he talks with Bestisia a lot. Their friends sometimes mistook their relationship as confusing, because they're so close yet are giving each other distance.

Daisuke thinks of his kouhai, Xoligan, as well-mannered but he is definitely hiding something, which makes Daisuke quite a perceptive person.

## History

### Winter Princess's Dance Storyline

Daisuke first appeared when he is sleeping in class and then Bestisia startled him by shouting, causing him to wake up in shock and fell from his chair. He later tries to initiate a conversation with Azama, but Azama ignored him. He later asked Azama is there's homework they are supposed to submit today, which sent Azama in a panic and he begged Daisuke to borrow him his work.

It's later revealed that Daisuke and Azama are King's informants. The three later helped Bestisia to search for **Ayaka**. Daisuke and the other two later witnessed Bestisia's and Ayaka's conversation from afar, with Daisuke saying that the plan might have succeeded, judging from Bestisia's expressions.

Several days after Artemis's live show, King "invited" Daisuke and Azama into the Music Club for his band. They were later given a practice room to brief about their band structure by Fuyu, the new Music Club Leader. Bestisia, taps his shoulder, and gladly offers him assistance.

### The Golden Dream of A Future King Storyline

Daisuke first appeared walking to YamiTsume, where he met **Hitomi** and **Zanto** on the way to school. At the school gate, the two meets Bestisia and she talked about how she joined a band under **Fuyu**. He later tells Hitomi to stop worrying and chases after Bestisia.

On the way to school, Zanto and King happened upon Daisuke, who because of his bad luck, ends up tripping due to his shoelaces into a trash can. It took Zanto, King and **Tristan** to pull him out. He was later slapped in the back by **Tetsu'un**, he later whispered quietly that he probably broke his spine.

Daisuke was later visited by King during archery practice, and he asks him to join the Music Club, which he refused at first. However, after seeing the "arrow" that he betted on, he decided to do a little fortune-telling against King, challenging him to see who has Lady Luck on their side. He later lost and he willingly joined the Music Club.

Bestisia later finds him alone in the Archery Club. They later went home together and talked about the things that has happened today. At Bestisia's request, they went to **Tsukiji Ramen** at **Goshogawara City**. After having dinner there, the two goes outside to see it's raining. They then used their own umbrellas and walked home together. However, Daisuke was too focused on thinking about something that he didn't see the puddle splashing in his direction. Bestisia tried to block the puddle, but someone else already did.

After thanking the man, Bestisia asked if that was an actor, an athlete, maybe even an alien in disguise. They later continued to walk home.

Several days later, Daisuke was walking to school with Hitomi and **Tetsuichiro** when he looked up into the sky and trips on a banana peel, and fell down the stairs, causing him to fall unconscious. Later at the Nurse Office, he pretended to have amnesia, then he dropped the act and laughed when Hitomi and Tetsuichiro. He was later choked by Tetsuichiro.

Later that day, Daisuke and Zanto are about to go home when they saw Azama, Chosuke and Genrai being chased by Waichiro. When asked some questions, Daisuke and Zanto immediately ran for their lives. After escaping Waichiro, the group met up with Chosuke and they went to Goshogawara to have dinner.

He also joined them to search for Chosuke, the dinner at **GOLDEN LION Restaurant**, the autographing session of **Tokushima Yohei**, and he fulfilled his promise to King to join him in whatever dumb things he's going to put them in.
