Description
Kento Aizome is an idol in the unit THRIVE, part of the B-PROJECT collective. He possesses a signature appearance with light blue hair styled in a side-and-undercut, matching light blue eyes, and notably long bottom eyelashes. Standing 181 cm tall, he takes meticulous pride in his looks, especially maintaining his bangs.
Born in Nagasaki and raised by a single mother working night shifts, Kento endured a childhood haunted by isolation, frequent moves, and minimal communication in an often empty home. He frequently sought sanctuary in a nearby church. This neglect forged a deep craving for attention and belonging, driving his ambition to become an idol. He believed the profession would offer purpose and a place to command unwavering focus, countering his neglected past.
Joining agency Bambi in his first year of middle school, Kento debuted with THRIVE. His personality blends narcissism, pride, and a flirtatious, carefree exterior. He readily dates fans and engages in a teasing pursuit of physical affection as "rewards" from A&R manager Tsubasa Sumisora. Despite this confidence, he exhibits significant clumsiness with manual tasks, a frustrating battle other members discourage him from fighting.
Beneath the charming facade lie masked insecurities stemming from his childhood. He struggles to express authentic emotions, particularly in acting, lacking understanding of genuine love. Flirtation often serves as a shield against deeper connections. However, his bond with Tsubasa gradually erodes his defenses; he confides his past wounds, displays rare vulnerability, and shares quiet tea moments. She becomes one of the few whose opinion he deeply values, especially concerning his appearance.
A pivotal shift occurs when Kento discovers he is the half-brother of fellow idol Ryuji Korekuni, revealed through a past affair between Kento's mother and Ryuji's father. Learning this first, Kento is initially dismissive, telling Ryuji he accepts B-PROJECT's inevitable end and urging forgiveness. Confronted by THRIVE teammate Goshi Kaneshiro, Kento admits bottled resentment over his absent father and fear of the group disbanding. This honesty, coupled with Ryuji's acceptance, leads to a mutual commitment to build their sibling kinship, including plans to integrate families.
Kento's idol career is partly a performance masking deep insecurities, yet he demonstrates fierce dedication to fans, persisting through his clumsiness for their sake. His journey reflects an emerging authenticity from behind the constructed persona, learning to voice buried feelings and acknowledge his need for warmth and belonging.
