Description
Hiroto Kazama is one of the main characters in the story, known for being a member of the popular idol group SHIPS. He becomes an idol at the age of twelve when he teams up with his best friend, Seiji Hiwatari. As the eldest of five brothers, Hiroto often takes on the responsibility of caring for his siblings while his mother is away, a duty that contributes to his mature and practical nature.
In terms of his background, Hiroto has blackish-blue hair and red eyes. His birthday is on June 10, making his zodiac sign Gemini. Standing at 168 centimeters tall and weighing 51 kilograms, his blood type is A. His favorite foods include grilled meat and cooked pork.
Hiroto's personality stands in stark contrast to the gentle and calm demeanor of his bandmate, Seiji. He is brutally honest and often blunt, particularly with the main protagonist, Kirari Tsukishima. He enjoys teasing her and does not hesitate to call her out on her naivety or lack of common sense, often calling her stupid. This harsh exterior, however, hides a deeply caring and supportive nature. Beneath his rough teasing, he truly cares for Kirari and is consistently one of the first people to help her when she finds herself in a difficult or sticky situation. His honesty serves as a grounding force, pushing Kirari to face reality and work harder to achieve her goals, rather than relying on luck or the kindness of others. In many ways, his practical and sometimes cynical outlook makes him a representative of a normal perspective within a world filled with eccentric and four-dimensional characters.
Hiroto's motivations are closely tied to his career as an idol and his personal relationships. Initially, he looks down on Kirari for her reckless decision to become an idol without understanding the challenges of the entertainment industry. However, as he witnesses her genuine effort, resilience, and growth, his perception of her changes. He becomes a crucial spiritual support for her, assisting her in various situations, and he secretly falls in love with her. Despite his growing feelings, he hesitates to confess because he believes Kirari is in love with Seiji. His actions are often driven by a desire to protect Kirari, even at his own expense, which he demonstrates when he takes the blame to shield her from a media scandal involving his childhood friend. His responsibilities as the head of his household also motivate his disciplined and hardworking attitude.
Within the story, Hiroto plays a vital role as a member of SHIPS, a group that holds high value and faces almost no rivals in the entertainment world. He is a key figure at the Muranishi Office, acting as a practical advisor and emotional anchor for Kirari, while also supporting Seiji. Beyond performing, he demonstrates remarkable dexterity and practical skills, such as bringing Kirari's clothing designs to life by making the outfits she envisions. His role often involves suffering or being caught in unfortunate situations due to the unusual antics of the people around him, leading to a tendency to endure a lot of hardship.
Hiroto's key relationships are central to the plot. His relationship with Kirari evolves from annoyance and disdain to deep affection. He is brutally honest and teases her constantly, but he is also her most reliable supporter, showing a softer, caring side when she needs it most. His relationship with Seiji is that of a best friend and bandmate. While their contrasting personalities can lead to friction, they share a strong bond that has existed since their debut. Seiji is often aware of the feelings between Hiroto and Kirari and subtly encourages their relationship. Hiroto also has a significant history with a childhood friend named Izumi Amakawa. He made a promise to become an idol with Izumi, but after Izumi moved away, Hiroto ended up forming SHIPS with Seiji. This broken promise leads to complications when they reunite later in the story.
Hiroto undergoes considerable development throughout the narrative. He starts as a cynical idol who dismisses Kirari's ambitions but transforms into her most dedicated ally and eventual love interest. He gradually shows Kirari more affection and moves from supporting her feelings for Seiji to actively trying to win her affection. In the manga, after a period of studying dance in New York, he returns to Japan as a special guest at Kirari's concert, announces the revival of SHIPS, and officially becomes her lover, sharing a second kiss with her and maintaining a long-distance relationship through emails. In the anime, his feelings become more apparent, and in the final episode, he is pushed by Seiji to comfort Kirari, resulting in a confession of feelings between them. He also has the notable ability to learn and improve his skills, demonstrated when he decides to learn dance after a competition, leading him to study abroad in America.
