Movie
Description
Balancing idol activities at Yumenosaki Academy with a European modeling career, third-year student Izumi Sena frequently jets between continents. As a member of unit Knights under agency NEW DIMENSION, he pursues worldwide acclaim in both fields. Proud and bluntly critical, he demeans others with catchphrases like "soo~ annoying," yet consistently cares for trusted individuals—particularly underclassmen and unit members—intervening to guide or assist them despite visible reluctance. Close associates Ritsu and Arashi interpret his harshness as shielding personal insecurities and avoiding vulnerability.
His background includes childhood modeling alongside Makoto Yuuki under a shared agency until parental intervention forced his transfer following management disputes. This separation strained their relationship, though Izumi retains deep affection for Makoto. Later brief modeling stints with Arashi Narukami and Akiomi Kunugi saw him initially resisting connections. Another transfer occurred after he fled with Makoto during agency supervision. During school years, he paused modeling to focus on idol training.
In Yumenosaki’s "War Era," Izumi joined the dysfunctional unit Backgammon (later Chess). He repeatedly warned leader Leo Tsukinaga against members exploiting his musical talents, to no avail. When Leo became "King" and restructured the unit, he exempted Izumi from a loyalty test to prevent estrangement. After infighting caused Leo’s emotional collapse and withdrawal, Izumi assumed temporary leadership—handling administrative duties while persistently visiting Leo to preserve their bond, highlighting his loyalty beneath an abrasive exterior.
Third-year conflicts feature Izumi’s mental decline following Leo’s disappearance. During the DDD event, he kidnapped Makoto for duel leverage, incurring temporary Dream Festival bans via disciplinary action. Unit member Ritsu later framed this as emotional pressure-driven, not malice. Izumi’s strictness toward junior Tsukasa Suou stems from wanting to fortify others against adversity, believing hardship builds resilience.
Post-graduation, Izumi resides in Florence, Italy, continuing modeling while returning for Knights activities. Leo officially moves into his apartment after the Next Door live, cementing their partnership. Former classmate Shu Itsuki notes Izumi has grown "nicer," a change Izumi reciprocally observes in Shu. His modern, stylish performances feature resonant singing and fluid choreography influenced by childhood ballet training—a discipline he initially disliked but embraced after audience validation. His favorite ballet move is the fouetté.
Practical skills include knitting—creating a scarf for Makoto, a dinosaur plush for Tsukasa, and a hat for producer Anzu. Licensed for motorcycles, he commutes or offers rides and enjoys hilltop stargazing. Multilingual, he speaks Italian and basic French and English. He avoids alcohol due to scent-induced nausea and detests extreme heat. His worldview prioritizes aesthetic transcendence over gender norms, aligning with Arashi Narukami’s beauty perspectives.
Key relationships encompass a protective yet strained dynamic with Makoto; pragmatic caretaking for Leo, whom he chastises yet supports unconditionally; and mentoring Tsukasa, who respects his unwavering principles. He assigns nicknames like "Yuu-kun" for Makoto and "Kasa-kun" for Tsukasa. His nickname "Kuma-kun" for Ritsu Sakuma originated from mishearing Ritsu’s mumbled introduction.
