Touya Munakata |
RayGlanZ's leader. An aloof leader who aims for the top with overwhelming charisma and presence. He believes that improvement can only be achieved by subduing others. Even though his intimidating personality and his dislikes tends to start conflicts in his unit, the agency has strong expectations for him because of his excellent talent in performing. Touya is obsessed with becoming the top, and this has ignited a dark flame in his heart.
Appearance[]
Touya appears as a tall and fairly muscular young man with dark purple hair that has a single hair strand hanging on the left side and burning red eyes.
Personality[]
Because of his intimidating appearance, Touya is a rather unfriendly person, shown in him first meeting the Producer. He generally keeps an assertive, but professional attitude, and doesn't always see eye-to-eye with Chihiro Usui, his group-mate, which oftentimes leads to arguments. He is distant with the other DearPro idols, seeing them as rivals for the number one spot in the ranking.
Relationships[]
- Chihiro Usui - He acknowledges Chihiro for his will to never give up even though Chihiro is noisy and fails most of the time.
- Ango Kousaka - Thinks Ango is an inescapable opponent even though Ango is an excellent and obedient member.
- Sui Yanagawa - He's uncomfortable when Sui gets too close to him when Sui comes to see him in his class.
- Samon Nishikido - His classmate. The book that Touya was seen with in his initial 4* Memory Photo was borrowed by Samon before him.
