Description
Lory Takarada is the president of L.M.E., or Lory's Majestic Entertainment, a leading entertainment management company. He is also the grandfather of Maria Takarada, with whom he lives in his villa. Lory is known for his extremely flamboyant and showy personality, often making grand entrances with a large entourage, each entrance based on a different theme. He has a deep voice and is frequently seen in extravagant costumes. In the manga, his hair is dark brown and his eyes are brown.
Despite his comedic and over-the-top expressions of love and enthusiasm, Lory is highly perceptive and possesses a sharp ability to see through people and predict their actions. He has an exceptional eye for recognizing potential in others. This is most evident in his early recognition of Kyoko Mogami's promise as a great star. When Kyoko initially failed her auditions at L.M.E., Lory created the Love Me Section specifically for her, seeing both her potential and the void of love within her that needed to be filled for her to become a true artist.
Lory's motivations are driven by a genuine passion for nurturing talent and a belief in the power of entertainment. He does not hesitate to take action to help those he cares about, often going out of his way to create opportunities for them. His role in the story is that of a mentor and a father figure, particularly to Kyoko. He encourages her to pursue her dreams and provides guidance in both her professional and personal life. He also plays a key role in bringing Kyoko and Ren Tsuruga together, recognizing their chemistry and intentionally casting them in roles that require them to work closely as a couple.
Key relationships include his close bond with his granddaughter Maria, who idolizes Kyoko, and his friendship with Eltra Duris. He has an assistant who helps him with his work. Throughout the series, Lory remains a consistent source of support and eccentric wisdom, using his position and influence to protect and advance the careers of those he believes in. His notable abilities include his business acumen, his intuitive understanding of human emotion and talent, and his knack for creating unconventional yet effective strategies to help his artists grow.
