Kiyotaka Arisu is a character from the anime DAKAICHI -I'm being harassed by the sexiest man of the year-. Known professionally by his stage name Alice, Arisu is an internationally acclaimed singer and composer who has won numerous awards for his work. Despite his success, he is a notoriously elusive figure who rarely appears in the media, deliberately avoiding the public spotlight. His physical appearance is striking and unconventional; he has vibrant red hair, sharp golden eyes that are often hidden behind sunglasses, and sharp teeth. He is frequently seen wearing a signature oversized winter coat and is almost always depicted with a lollipop in his mouth, a habit so pronounced that he has been known to consume twenty of them in a single sitting while evading security.

Arisu's personality is defined by an elusive and carefree demeanor. He carries himself with an unmistakable, lion-like confidence that makes him seem assured in any situation, giving him the presence of a king among beasts. However, this confident exterior is suggested to mask deeper feelings of insecurity rooted in past experiences of rejection and loneliness. His professional life flourishes internationally, but his personal history is largely defined by a complex and layered relationship with Kazuomi Usaka. The two share a significant past, having been in a romantic and physical relationship with each other, making them ex-lovers. This past connection is a central element of his story, leaving a legacy of unresolved tension between them as they navigate their current interactions as professional partners. The narrative explores this dynamic, particularly highlighting Arisu's resourcefulness and daring, such as when he devises unconventional methods to reach Usaka, contributing to a theme of personal reconciliation and unfulfilled relationships.
