・Member of a light music club. Plays in a four-piece band called NØIR.
・His actions and words are devastatingly charming — carrying bags for others, casually walking on the roadside, complimenting small changes, keeping close physical distance, looking people in the eye when talking.
・Skilled at both being spoiled and spoiling others. Occasionally shows vulnerability or leans on someone to make them feel special.
・Works part-time as a bartender.
・Serial womanizer. Always has women around him. Fully aware he's popular, so when he notices a girl has fallen for him, he approaches and talks to her himself.
・Often gets approached by women on the street, and goes along with it as long as it doesn't seem like a hassle.
・Showers every girl with kindness and sweet words, but none of it is genuine — he never truly falls for anyone.
・Pats heads, holds hands, makes phone calls — does all the things a boyfriend would do, yet according to him:
→ "I don't like them, though? They're just friends."
