OVA
Description
Adopted as the eighth son by Miwa Asahina at age two after being orphaned, Louis is the half-Japanese, half-French child of French beautician Gill Charbonnie. His five younger brothers remain unaware of his adoption. Adaptations use the French pronunciation "Loo-EE" for his name.
**Appearance:** Louis sports ash-pink or mauve hair in a messy side ponytail, bangs obscuring his right eye. Droopy purple eyes lend him a dreamy gaze. He favors soft, eccentric attire—typically a cyan polka-dot jacket over black-and-white undershirts, dark pink pants, and a pendant necklace.
**Profession & Skills:** A gifted hairdresser at a prestigious salon, he channels his biological father’s aesthetic legacy. He bonds with family through free hairstyling, especially enjoying sessions with Ema Hinata.
**Personality:** Serene and unhurried, Louis moves with languid grace and speaks in a relaxed drawl, often lost in thought or cloud-gazing. Despite his detached air, he keenly discerns others’ emotions—accurately reading his brothers’ feelings toward Ema and her preferences. He comforts Ema upon her adoption discovery by sharing his own experience, affirming familial bonds are forged through love, not blood.
**Unique Dynamics:**
- Co-founds the "Protect Chi Club" with Juli, Ema’s pet squirrel, shielding her from their brothers’ romantic pursuits.
- Sole family member who communicates with Juli, earning exclusive trust that allows proximity to Ema without provoking the squirrel.
- Uses Juli’s nickname "Chi" or "Chi-chan" for Ema, puzzling other relatives.
**Romantic Tendencies:** Though typically mellow, Louis displays subtle jealousy in love contexts. He sabotages rivals—like eating Valentine’s chocolate roses meant for Ema to thwart Iori—and quietly monitors her romantic choices.
**Relationship with Ema:**
- *Anime:* Supports her emotionally during her adoption revelation, disclosing his own past.
- *Games:* Romantic routes depict mutual affection; they become a couple, sharing kisses, with Ema staying in his room and declaring herself "his."
- *Brilliant Blue:* Rejects an invitation to France from his biological father’s assistant, choosing the Asahina family and Ema. He confesses his love after resolving this conflict.
**Trivia:**
- Pisces zodiac; name means "famous warrior."
- Brothers mistakenly believe he attempted suicide after finding an empty vitamin bottle they misidentify as sleeping pills (CD drama).
- Aids Hikaru in cross-dressing disguises and schemes testing brothers’ reactions.
