Lily Hoshikawa, a transgender girl and former child actor, is resurrected as a zombie idol in a group dedicated to reviving a struggling region. Born as Masao Go, she embraced her female identity early, adopting the name Lily during her acting career under the management of her father, Takeo Go, whose focus on her professional success over her well-being fueled emotional turmoil. Her death at age 12 stemmed from a heart attack induced by the distress of discovering facial hair growth, exacerbated by chronic occupational stress and gender dysphoria. Reborn undead, Lily finds solace in her halted aging, which spares her from male puberty’s physical changes. Operating under the alias “Number 6,” she balances youthful exuberance with poignant maturity, channeling both into her performances. A pivotal moment sees her reconcile with Takeo through a covertly emotional concert, addressing their fractured bond while concealing her zombie identity. During a televised talent showdown, rival Light Oozora sabotages Lily’s act, prompting her to improvise a scat-jazz number with a redesigned costume. Though Light claims victory, Lily’s viral dance routine draws younger fans, amplifying the group’s reach. Her childhood acting experience equips her with rakugo storytelling prowess and survival skills, while her leadership emerges in naming the group and mediating conflicts—despite being the youngest member. Lily’s vulnerability surfaces in tearful outbursts, yet her resolve shines through unwavering dedication to the group’s mission. Subtle narrative threads reference her transgender identity, including discomfort in communal baths and rejection of her birth name, woven into her growth without overshadowing her multifaceted journey. Culturally, she becomes an emblem in online discourse, notably through memes critiquing trans-exclusionary ideologies that intersect with political debates. Her arc navigates the duality of eternal child stardom and complex self-discovery, exploring themes of acceptance, legacy, and the interplay between personal history and public persona—all framed by her group’s quest to breathe life into their fading home.
