Description
Michiru Enjoji is a physical-type idol under 315 Production and a member of the unit THE KOGADOU alongside Takeru Taiga and Ren Kizaki. He is twenty-four years old, stands at 185 centimeters, and has a build that, combined with his association with ramen as a traditionally masculine dish, leads others to perceive him as highly manly. In truth, he is quite domestic and possesses a gentle, kind personality.
Before entering the idol industry, Michiru was a judo practitioner with notable skill. A career-ending injury forced him to retire from competitive judo. While grappling with the disappointment, he discovered a ramen shop called Man's Road and was so moved by the taste that he wept and decided to apprentice there. He eventually became the shopkeeper and built a loyal customer base, with people from the 315 Production office often visiting his establishment. When he later transitioned into idol work, he joined the agency as a member of THE KOGADOU.
Michiru's motivations are rooted in his desire to support those around him. He takes on a parental role toward his unit mates Takeru and Ren, preparing meals for them, looking after their well-being, and mediating when they quarrel. This caring nature extends beyond the unit; he genuinely enjoys sharing meals with others and values the communal time spent around food. His domestic inclinations contrast with the rugged image his physicality suggests, making him a figure grounded in compassion rather than aggression.
In the story, Michiru initially appears as a chef rather than an active idol. In the anime continuity, he is still working at Man's Road when he first encounters other characters. His role evolves as he joins 315 Production and begins idol activities, bringing his disciplined background from judo and his work ethic from the ramen shop into his performances. He is said to have good body control, which his dance instructor praises, and he attributes this fluidity of movement to his background as a judo gold medalist.
Key relationships include his bond with Takeru and Ren of THE KOGADOU, whom he mentors and cares for almost like a family member. He also maintains connections with the staff and idols from the agency who frequently patronize his shop. His development follows a trajectory from a retired athlete turned chef to an idol who applies the same dedication and warmth he showed in the kitchen to the stage. His notable abilities include judo proficiency, cooking, and a naturally supportive demeanor that makes him an anchor for his unit and colleagues.
