Description
Mitsuki Izumi, 21, born March 3, is a member of IDOLiSH7. Standing at 165 cm, he is the group's shortest member and has blood type O. His parents own Fonte Chocolat bakery, and his younger brother, Iori Izumi, also belongs to IDOLiSH7.
Inspired by the legendary idol Zero, Mitsuki dreamed of becoming an idol since childhood. Prior to joining IDOLiSH7, he faced repeated audition failures, fueling ongoing insecurities about his place in the group and his suitability as an idol. He is aware of his lower popularity compared to other members and occasional fan criticism labeling him "annoying" for his prominent emcee role. Despite these doubts, the industry recognizes his exceptional mood-making and emceeing skills, receiving professional compliments that moved him emotionally.
His inclusion in IDOLiSH7 resulted from Iori's intervention during scouting; Iori agreed to join only if Mitsuki could audition alongside him as part of a brother duo. Mitsuki initially suspected a scam. Group president Otoharu Takanashi later clarified Mitsuki was accepted based on observed talent, not merely as a concession to Iori.
Energetic and optimistic, Mitsuki serves as an older brother figure within IDOLiSH7, often cooking for members and caring for the younger ones. He excels as the straight man in comedic interactions, notably within his Pythagoras Trio sub-unit with Yamato Nikaido and Nagi Rokuya. This role extends to his banter with Re:vale's Momo, intentionally played up for audiences.
Beneath his cheerfulness, Mitsuki struggles with self-consciousness, particularly about his height; he performs stretches hoping to grow taller. He harbors a complex about resembling his grandmother in her youth, while Iori is seen as inheriting their parents' best traits. He claims difficulty with heights and admits to a poor sense of direction, describing himself as "the type who gets lost while brimming with self-confidence."
Key developments highlight his protective nature and resilience. He once confronted bullies targeting IDOLiSH7 alone to shield others, resulting in personal injury. A skilled swimmer, he saved Nagi and Riku from drowning. He demonstrates adaptability: performing a tablecloth trick in one take during a Christmas drama (earning a high-five from Tenn Kujo); teaching Tamaki Yotsuba "those who don’t work don’t eat" in exchange for washing shoes; and acclimating Nagi to Japan's summer heat through midday walks.
Mitsuki typically initiates reconciliations after quarrels with Iori. He maintains friendships outside the group, like outings with Momo to comedy shows and cooking sessions with Re:vale's Yuki. His youthful appearance led to an unsuccessful attempt at a student discount and being mistaken for Tenn Kujo due to similar silhouettes.
Professionally, Mitsuki took unconventional roles, such as portraying a female home economics teacher in the Ainana Academy drama, a casting choice made to avoid involving female stars during the group's rookie days. One of his noted traits is skill at pretending younger. He holds a food preparation license and often sings in the bathroom.
