## Appearance

Re-o-do has short choppy pink hair cut at neck length and pale gray eyes. His hair started off as light pink and gradually became darker shades of pink as the seasons went on. In Season 6, his hair became magenta. Additionally in this season, he gained a visual kei aesthetic in his outfit, with the role of a fallen angel. Meanwhile in Season 7, his hair reverts to a lighter and much brighter shade of pink and gains a strand of dark pink along with gray highlighted in his hair. He is tied with (2)You for being the shortest out of all of the vocalists.

## Personality

Re-o-do has a very harsh stage persona but is a sweet and caring man off stage. He has a habit of calling his fanbase his "Minettes" and in return the fans, and his bandmates alike refer to him as "Reo-sama" teasingly. When he is off-stage, he is incredibly affectionate to his girlfriend. He goes through great lengths to avoid showing his sweeter side by avoiding any publics displays of affection towards his girlfriend if not disguised. He tends to be quite physically clingy to his girlfriend, as he is always asking for cuddles and kisses.

## History

At 4, Reo returned to Japan with his mother after being born in France, and developed deafness in his left ear since then. It is heavily implied he revealed this fact to his girlfriend at the end of his last drama track in Dear Vocalist Unlimited.

When he was 14, Reo auditioned for the Platinum Vocal Auditions and won the Grand Prix by a whopping 8600 votes. After this accomplishment, he formed his current band LUMIERE after NOE asked him to (albeit only after multiple times).
