Description
Reiji Kotobuki is a senior member of idol group QUARTET NIGHT, tasked with mentoring junior idols Otoya Ittoki and Tokiya Ichinose during their Master Course training. He is 25 years old at first, later turning 26, with a July 13 birthday and Cancer zodiac sign. Standing 173 cm tall and weighing 61 kg, he has light brown eyes (taupe-gray in the anime), layered shoulder-length dark brown hair, and is often seen wearing a white fedora with a blue ribbon. His theme color is emerald green.
Known as the group's clown, Reiji displays an energetic, approachable, and prank-loving personality, frequently targeting fellow member Ranmaru Kurosaki. He insists on the nickname "Rei-chan" and uses familiar nicknames for others like "Ai-Ai" for Ai Mikaze, "Ran-Ran" for Ranmaru, "Myu-chan" for Camus, "Otoyan" for Otoya, and "Toki" for Tokiya. Despite his lighthearted demeanor, he reveals sharp maturity and professionalism during work, often masking his true feelings behind a smile. He actively promotes unity within QUARTET NIGHT, organizing bonding activities and admiring the camaraderie of junior groups. His signature instrument is the maracas; he enjoys sports, driving, and cooking, frequently using karaage as a bribe.
His family includes a mother running a bento shop and a younger sister; his father left during his childhood. A significant past trauma involves his childhood best friend, Aine Kisaragi, who physically resembled Ai Mikaze. Aine disappeared after attempting to contact Reiji, who missed the call due to an important audition, resulting in enduring guilt. This event influences his protective behavior towards Ai. Reiji experiences complex emotional development, being the second person to confess romantic feelings to Haruka Nanami—initially presented as a joke but later reiterated seriously. His efforts to strengthen group bonds reflect a desire for deeper connections, contrasting with QUARTET NIGHT's initial solo tendencies. His history with Aine and family struggles contribute to a layered personality where humor conceals vulnerability and responsibility.
