Shōgo Yamato leads the idol unit VISTY in the Paradox Live universe, projecting seriousness, dependability, and honesty. His strong sense of responsibility and instinct to care for others cement deep trust from his teammates, though his life carries heavy misfortune and emotional burdens. Shōgo's existence was overshadowed by his father, a renowned actor. From age twelve, the public dismissed him as a "second-generation entertainer" or "nepo baby," crediting every achievement to paternal influence. This intensified when an acting award he won at fifteen was scorned as unearned. The psychological strain drove him to abandon the entertainment industry that same year. Scouted at seventeen, he pivoted to an idol career, debuting with VISTY at eighteen. The group peaked when he was nineteen—coinciding with his father's death, which amplified existing pressures. By twenty, VISTY encountered severe instability, mirroring Shōgo's inner turmoil. His relentless routine includes gym training, group vocal/dance rehearsals, late-night solo practice, and pre-dawn research on rival idols. Chronic insomnia fractures his sleep. He copes with an acute sweet tooth, especially gummy candies—his "tranquilizer"—and hunts for new varieties at convenience stores. He balances this with active social media engagement and meticulous household chores. Within VISTY, relationships thrive on mutual respect: Toma Hikage calls him "Sho-chin," while Aoi Kureha and Kantaro Misuji use his given name. Shōgo reciprocates with their given names. For Phantom Live battles, he employs the Chained Pinky Ring—a phantometal piece featuring a double ring on his right middle finger chained to a butterfly ring on his pinky. Activation requires a kiss to the ring. His psychological struggles echo in trauma hashtags: #BoundByLabels, #HowDoIRemoveTheWorldsFilter, #DilemmaINeedToLetOut, and #NoOneWillLookAtTheRealMe. These reflect his war against societal perceptions, the erasure of his true self, and the suffocating legacy of his family.
