Description
Ryunosuke Tsunashi, a member of idol group TRIGGER, hails from Okinawa and a divorced family. His fisherman father struggles with debt, while his mother remarried the wealthy "Hotel King." Ryunosuke cares for three younger brothers, Soutaro, Kounosuke, and Kotaro, extending his protective nature beyond his family. Growing up in his stepfather's hotel environment honed his conversational English through interactions with foreign guests.
His personality starkly contrasts his manufactured "Wild and Sexy" agency image. Inherently gentle, kind, and somewhat shy around women due to his male-dominated upbringing, he feels embarrassment over his sensual persona. He actively downplays it, insisting he's just a humble country boy, and visibly winces at promotional materials like valentine chocolates described as "the image of a sexy night with Ryuunosuke Tsunashi."
He naturally assumes an older brother role, showing kindness and understanding towards younger individuals within TRIGGER and other units like IDOLiSH7. He frequently steps in to mediate conflicts, acting as a peacemaker between TRIGGER members Gaku Yaotome and Tenn Kujo, or between shuffle unit partners like Tamaki Yotsuba and Sogo Osaka. He deeply values family bonds, advising Sogo Osaka to reconcile with his estranged father during TRIGGER's contract renegotiation period.
His daily life reflects his grounded nature. Days off involve household chores, contacting his Okinawan family, socializing with group members over meals or drinks, and maintaining routines like early morning jogs reminiscent of Okinawan beaches. His professional schedule includes magazine photoshoots, variety show recordings, dance and vocal lessons, and promotional activities requiring city travel. He enjoys cooking, specializing in Okinawan dishes like bitter melon stir-fry and preparing fish. His hobbies include watching comedies and binge-watching dramas.
He loves alcohol, especially Okinawan Awamori, but becomes troublesome when intoxicated, engaging in behaviors like drawing on his stomach and performing traditional "hara odori" dances. He dislikes cold winters, a sensitivity linked to his Okinawan roots. Other traits include being ticklish on his feet, preferring a casual denim style, clumsiness at photography, and high rankings in popularity polls like No. 2 on "The Man Women Want to be Embraced By."
Relationships within the industry are multifaceted. Within TRIGGER, he uses given names for Gaku and Tenn, who call him "Ryuu." IDOLiSH7 members address him formally as "Tsunashi-san," except Tamaki Yotsuba who affectionately uses "Ryuu-aniki" (Big Brother Ryuu). His interactions with Sogo Osaka show mutual respect and camaraderie, forged during their collaboration in the LOVE&GAME shuffle unit with Tamaki. During training, Ryunosuke revealed truths about his manufactured image and humble background. They bonded over shared meals, collaborated on activities like gathering ingredients for anniversary events, and frequently drank together, often forgetting details of their encounters. Ryunosuke intervened to protect Sogo during an argument with Tamaki, later helping reunite Tamaki with his sister. He also encouraged Sogo to reconcile with his family. Tenn Kujo has removed Ryunosuke from group chats multiple times.
His development shows increasing comfort within the industry while retaining his core kindness. He handles the pressures of his conflicting image, supports his group through professional transitions like becoming independent artists, and maintains his role as a stabilizer and mediator. Experiences like participating in varied photoshoots – including one requiring a serious pose with an eggplant that amused his group members – highlight his professionalism.
