Movie
Description
Tokiya Ichinose is a male character born on August 6, categorized as a Leo. He stands 179 cm tall, weighs 59 kg, and has blood type A. His appearance features midnight-dark blue hair that deepens to near-black in certain light, styled with a right part, a lock reaching his nose, and the back covering his neck. His eyes are turquoise-blue, closely matching his hair color. He dresses neatly and primly, reflecting perfectionist tendencies, though later portrayals show him in casual attire while still maintaining an orderly presentation.
His background involves significant familial discord; his parents divorced and abandoned him due to his idol ambitions, leading him to pursue the career alone. During this time, his agent diverted him from singing to other activities, damaging his pride and distancing him from his passion. Spurred by profound loneliness, particularly during holidays, he created an alter ego named Hayato, presented as his "twin brother," to live a semblance of a normal life separate from his idol persona.
Initially depicted as cold, aloof, and perfectionist, his personality masks inner conflicts. Early critiques about a perceived lack of emotional depth in his singing caused frustration. This emotional guardedness partly stems from guilt over concealing the Hayato identity. His character evolves significantly: in season two, he shows a warmer side by taking Haruka Nanami to a festival to uplift her spirits. By season three, his growth is more pronounced as he collaborates with Masato Hijirikawa to write original lyrics, confronting creative challenges that require vulnerability and mutual support from ST☆RISH members. This journey transitions him to a more gentle, open demeanor, though he retains core traits like orderliness, dietary strictness (preferring vegetables, avoiding fatty foods), and seriousness about work. Despite his reserved nature, he deeply cares about his fellow group members.
Professionally, he excels as a vocalist while being proficient with all instruments. His career includes numerous solo songs, the highest among his peers, and he is the first in the series to perform non-original tracks like "Amazing Grace." He initially disliked variety shows but participated in "Maido! Idol Las Vegas" for his career. His dedication includes vocal care rituals like drinking hot milk with manuka honey. In the "Maji LOVE ST☆RISH Tours" movie, themed around global travel, he performs with ST☆RISH in a concert showcasing international musical styles, demonstrating his artistic maturity and collaborative spirit, free from earlier Hayato constraints.
His relationships evolve from initial friction to deep camaraderie. He initially disliked Otoya Ittoki for reminding him of Hayato, but they later become roommates with mutual respect. His bond with Masato Hijirikawa strengthens through shared songwriting, and he gradually embraces all ST☆RISH members as trusted colleagues. He struggles with large crowds but was selected as one of "DATE-O" magazine's sexiest men alongside Ren Jinguji, an accolade he finds puzzling. Other traits include picky eating, aversion to crowds, and a hobby of reading. His family roots trace to Fukuoka, though he relocated to Tokyo during his Hayato period.
