Description
Kazuomi Usaka is the president of a prominent Japanese talent agency. A former highly acclaimed actor who won the "Sexiest Man of the Year" award five consecutive times, he retired from acting to lead the agency. He possesses a tall stature, sharp features, piercing eyes, and distinctive red hair.
He achieved significant fame and accolades as an actor before shifting careers. A pivotal moment occurred when he encountered teenager Takato Saijō during an audition. Usaka recognized Saijō's raw talent and intense presence, later claiming Saijō belonged to him after Saijō won the "Sexiest Man of the Year" award years later, ending Usaka's streak.
Usaka exhibits a complex personality, often perceived as arrogant, manipulative, and demanding, particularly professionally and in initial interactions with Saijō. He deploys tactics like blackmail and coercion to control situations and people, especially Saijō, under the guise of professional management. This stems from intense possessiveness and a belief he understands what is best for Saijō's career, often disregarding Saijō's wishes.
Beneath this exterior lies a deep capacity for care and protectiveness. He is fiercely loyal to those he values and demonstrates strong agency leadership. He remains highly perceptive about talent and industry dynamics. His feelings for Saijō are profound and consuming, though initially expressed through dominance and harassment. He struggles with jealousy and insecurity regarding Saijō's interactions and career.
His development centers significantly on his relationship with Saijō. Persistent efforts by Saijō challenge Usaka's controlling behavior. Over time, Usaka gradually learns to express his feelings more respectfully, acknowledging Saijō's autonomy and talent without diminishing his possessiveness. He becomes more vulnerable, revealing insecurities about aging and losing relevance compared to Saijō's rising stardom.
Moments of genuine care become more frequent, such as prioritizing Saijō's safety and well-being during crises. He supports Saijō's career decisions more openly, though the underlying intensity remains. Their dynamic evolves into a more mutual, albeit tumultuous partnership where Usaka's protective instincts are channeled less destructively. He works to overcome communication barriers and express affection directly.
Professionally, he remains a powerful and shrewd agency president, dedicated to nurturing talent and maintaining his agency's status. His past fame occasionally resurfaces, impacting his present interactions. The core narrative focuses on his journey from using harassment and control as expressions of desire towards developing a relationship built on greater mutual respect and acknowledgment of Saijō's independence, while retaining his inherently passionate and possessive nature.
