Movie
Description
Iori Izumi is a 17-year-old male idol in IDOLiSH7, born January 25th. He sports black hair styled to neck length and gray eyes, standing 174 cm tall. His personality blends rationality with a cool, collected demeanor, marked by proper manners yet a sharp, occasionally critical tongue. He favors orderly planning and execution, finding unexpected deviations challenging.
Scouted during his first year of high school by Otoharu Takanashi while returning from shopping, Iori was initially wary of Otoharu's persistence. He accepted the idol offer primarily to support his older brother Mitsuki, who faced repeated audition rejections, demonstrating strong familial loyalty. While this loyalty motivated his start, he gradually developed genuine dedication to the work. To accommodate his idol schedule, he transferred to a school tolerant of absences and early departures, where he now attends alongside fellow member Tamaki Yotsuba.
Within IDOLiSH7, Iori functions as an unofficial secondary manager, advising main manager Tsumugi Takanashi on strategic decisions for the group's benefit. His relationships include a protective yet occasionally contentious bond with Mitsuki, who typically initiates reconciliations after disagreements. Sharing a classroom with Tamaki, Iori is noted by him for his popularity among female peers. Nagi Rokuya often engages him in walks, attracting stray cats that Iori interacts with despite reservations. Nagi's habit of touching Iori's buttocks to provoke reactions characterizes their playful, if awkward, dynamic.
Contradictory traits define his preferences: publicly claiming to dislike "small and cute things" to uphold his cool image, he privately adores the Usamimi Friends Collection. He also possesses a significant sweet tooth, enjoying cakes from his parents' shop "fonte chocolat." Other idiosyncrasies include extreme ticklishness, poor lying ability, and vocal reluctance to hum songs—though he succumbed once when pressured by Riku Nanase's silent prompting during a kitchen encounter. After witnessing Riku intoxicated, he vowed never to consume alcohol, a pledge Tamaki mirrored.
Etymologically, his surname "Izumi" (和泉) combines "harmony" (和) and "spring/fountain" (泉), while his given name "Iori" (一織) signifies "one weave/fabric."
