Kitahara Ren

*"It's Izumi. Geez, the same room and the same class, it's getting tiresome indeed. Guilty." -**Kitahara Ren***

## Appearance

Kitahara has red-purple hair and Persian green eyes.

In his school uniform, Kitahara wears the school's vest with his tie loose and blazer folded up to his elbows.

In his training attire, he wears a Persian green t-shirt and a pair of black pants which stops below his knee. His training jacket is tied around his waist and he wears black dancing shoes.

## Personality

Kitahara seems to be lazy and condescending at first, as he doesn't try his hardest to win the part in the 'Shadow and Lights' musical - believing he will get the role even if he doesn't try. He has a habit of pointing out people's flaws, calling Toraishi and Hoshitani 'carefree bees' and casually accusing people of being 'guilty'. However, once motivated, he is a very hard worker who allows no one to stand between him and his goal.

## Etymology

* **Kitahara** means "north" (北) (**kita**) and "field, plain" (原) (**hara**).
* **Ren** means "cheap" (廉).

	+ He prefers sleeping over eating.
	+ His favorite drink is hot barley tea since it is cheap and can get it in a bottle.
