Heizou

**Heizou** (full name **Shikanoin Heizou**) is a lead rapper and lead dancer of the popular Li-Pop boyband 6REEZE.

## Personal Life

Shikanoin Heizou was born on April 24th, 2004 in Bourou Village, located on Inazuma's Watatsumi Island. His mother is a descendant of a wealthy Inazuman landowner and his father founded and runs a fishing company. The fishing company. Shikanoin Fishing Co, has expanded greatly due to Heizou's popularity. He has two younger sisters and an older brother, ages 12, 15, and 21.

Heizou attended a local school in Bourou Villiage, and Sangonomiya Junior High before dropping out at age 14. He moved to Liyue Harbor to live in the RES Entertainment dorms, his mother temporarily living in a nearby apartment while he trained. He now lives in the offical 6REEZE dorms along with the rest of his group.

## Pre-Debut

Ever since Heizou was a child, he had an interest in music and rap, especially Li-Pop. During a livestream in 2021 where he discusses his childhood, Heizou stated that his hometown was sleepy and mostly home to those who preferred a simple life. The static environment caused him to seek action and excitement, which led to his audition.

He auditioned for RES Entertainment on the main island of Inazuma, Narukami. He auditioned before his acceptance in late 2018. While his first audition apparently "bombed", his second audition was "fast and easy, they knew they wanted [him] right away." He trained with RES Entertainment for about five months before debuting with the rookie group that would come to be known as 6REEZE.

## Personality

Heizou is a fiery and quick-witted individual. His high energy has the ability to ignite a room, which he often uses to his advantage when he needs to hype his groupmates up. Though he can be extremely lazy and relaxed at times, he is never demotivated. He dislikes following rules and prefers to blaze his own trail. He can often be seen performing various stunts or dangerous challenges on livestreams, alluding to his more thrill-seeking nature. He also has a wild imagination and contributes to both costume and set design for 6REEZE.

Despite his intense and fast-paced exterior, Heizou is incredibly intelligent and analytical. Fellow 6REEZE member, Scaramouche, once said to "never trust appearances" when dealing with Heizou, as he will outwit you if you don't pay attention. Heizou has also stated on multiple occasions that he probably would've become a lawyer or doctor if not for 6REEZE (and that he would've found it "easy"). He also apparently keeps a detailed record on everybody he meets, storing it all in an expansive memory.

Overall, Heizou's optimism and determination always shines through in his work and his relationships with his fellow members.

## Relationships

### Aether

Though they only met a few years ago, Heizou often comments that he feels he's known Aether for his entire life. Aether often tries to discourage Heizou's more risky activities and habits, but he often ends up joining in. Livestreams between the infamous trio of Heizou, Aether, and Scaramouche (dubbed as BOYNADO) are infamous for their chaos. In a group livestream discussing the release of their first album, The 7th Sense, Heizou says that he "wouldn't be where he is today without Aether." Though little is known about their meeting, it's been implied that Aether met Heizou and liked him so much he decided to move him to the group that would one day become 6REEZE. "We share a bromance beyond compare," Heizou stated in a 2021 interview with *Adventurer's Guild.* "We spend a lot of time together because everyone else is usually busy."

The pair of them have won numerous challenges together, including the "Dynamic Duo" challenge on The Crux*,* episode 11. As two well-rounded individuals, with both making up for each other's shortcomings, it's no wonder they're so compatible. Their relationship is often interpreted as platonic or even brotherly, but HeiAether still holds a moderate amount of popularity (about 2,500 fics on ao3).
