## Michael Williams

### Appearance(s)

TWICE Songfix Series (as Rei Sotaro), Libitina: Unmasked (as Kenzo Grey), Beyond Worlds (as Kenji Katagiri)

**Michael Ashford Williams** is the former manager of the group, but stepped down to his position to be a member starting the XIIDNIGHT era. He's half-Japanese (Haruto Miyano is his uncle), and has British blood because of his grandparents of his mother's side- although she's still Japanese. Following Kit Aguinaldo's promotion because of Cj Sanchez, Michael's now HIRAYA's co-captain, as well as a writer and a voice actor.

His most notable and successful roles are TSS' Rei Sotaro, Libitina: Unmasked's **Kenzo Grey**, and Beyond Worlds' Kenji Katagiri.

## PERSON**Λ**LITY

He's described as the most cold-hearted member, surpassing Cj Sanchez. Michael has always been good at Math, and he was once offered to move one grade level up years ago but turned the offer down. As surprising as it might be, Michael isn't actually the valedictorian in his school, but he *is* the salutatorian. Michael is very cool and reserved, and some might describe him as a toxic friend because of his constant degradation to his friend, but that's how he just shows his affection and that he's comfortable with their presence.

## PHYSIC**Λ**L **Λ**PPE**Λ**R**Λ**NCE

Michael is always seen with casual clothes but still looks elegant and smart. Like Cj, he rarely wears just a shirt, and he always wear a blazer or a coat to the studio, and wears jeans and sneakers. It's either blazers or button-up dress shirts for him. He doesn't also forget to wear his watch around his left wrist (because the watch bothers him when he's writing with his right hand), and he often gels his hair up so it doesn't pick his eyes.

Michael also wears his black thin-rimmed glasses all the time, and he has a small notepad and a pen hooked somewhere onto his clothes at the ready, mostly on his breast pocket or necklines.

## TRIVI**Λ**S

* He tried wearing contact lenses as opposed to glasses, and he struggled with them for at least an hour. Also, he hates it when he has to literally put something in his eyes, such as lenses and eyedrops.
* Michael is actually Jace's schoolmate in first-year up until 2020 (they're in the same school but in different branches).
* His teacher paired him up with the class valedictorian to work on their thesis report and defense, and even with the lack of group members, Michael and his partner still finished ahead than other groups, which have four members in each.
* In a panel, he revealed he wasn't planning on having kids with someone in the future, but if it's "accidental", he'll still take care of them and love them.
* Michael is the spitting image of his father, but acts and has the personality of both his mother and her brother, which is Haruto Miyano, Michael's uncle.
* Back when he was still the group's manager, he's the one who manages their schedule and workflow. Stefen complains Michael is the reason why they've been stressed for the projects in HM because Michael's pressuring them.
* He might not sing a lot, but he's a pretty decent singer. He hates dancing though.
* He rarely jokes and laughs, but when he does the members always clap for him and fake-cry, saying he's gained feelings for once like a normal human being.
* Pauline Sui is his ex-girlfriend, but like Cj and Kaela, they're on good terms. He's surprisingly open about his past and current relationships with people, and even says he learned a lot from them.
* Many people don't believe that he failed Math in preschool, but taught himself to get better at the subject he's struggling with.
	+ That being said, he's actually self-taught in Math, since almost no one in his family is a mathematician. Michael is just like how Kit taught herself how to draw, paint, and skate, even when no one in her family has those talents and hobbies.
* Michael has been the student council president for three years in a row.
