Description
Atom Kirihara is one of the main protagonists and a member of the idol group Marginal #4. He inherited his father's dream to become an idol, which he pursues with serious dedication. His birthday is July 7.
In appearance, Atom has spiky maroon hair and brown eyes, and he wears three clips to keep locks of hair on his left side in place. His theme color is red, and he has been given the nickname "Raging Shooting Star". He is noted for his excellent physical conditioning and athleticism.
Personality-wise, Atom is initially characterized as hot-blooded, self-centered, and impulsive, often acting as though the group revolves around him. However, as he spends time with Marginal #4, he mellows out and begins to share his dreams with the other members rather than focusing solely on himself. He is a very open and honest person, claiming he could reveal his measurements down to the millimeter. Atom is famously obsessed with his dream to "deliver kisses to the ends of the universe".
Atom has a strong presence on social media, where he frequently updates his fans on his daily activities, sometimes sharing unnecessary or sensitive information. He has a deep and somewhat quirky love for Korean BBQ, which is his favorite food, and he even fills his refrigerator with a Korean BBQ-flavored soda he calls "sun juice". He is notably book dumb, excelling only in physical education while struggling with and disliking studying other subjects.
In terms of his role within the story and his relationships, Atom serves as the energetic, eccentric center of Marginal #4 and is considered the "face" of the group, often being the most upfront and social about their activities. He cares deeply about his friends and often looks out for them, which strengthens their bonds. He shares a particularly notable dynamic with fellow member Rui Aiba, as the two often butt heads when facing serious situations. Atom is also generous in giving advice to his juniors when they are nervous about their debut.
Throughout the narrative, Atom experiences significant character development. While he was initially dead set on becoming a soloist with no care for teamwork, he grows to understand the importance of the group. He matures considerably over time, becoming a good senior figure to younger idols and mellowing out from his earlier, more volatile temperament.
As an idol, Atom's performances are full of energy that he transmits to everyone around him. His notable abilities lie in his physical prowess and his powerful, passionate stage presence. Despite his academic shortcomings, his determination and dedication to his idol career are unwavering.
