Description
Ringo Tsukimiya teaches Class A at Saotome Academy as their homeroom teacher and adviser. He is 24 years old during the first season, born September 15th under the Virgo sign. Standing 173 cm tall and weighing 56 kg with blood type A, his appearance is strikingly androgynous, characterized by large blue eyes and long eyelashes. While teaching, he crossdresses wearing a waist-length curly pink wig, a yellow turtleneck sweater, and black-grey leggings, though he removes the wig outside this context.

His personality blends cheerfulness, playfulness, and stylish sass. He encourages students to call him "Ringo-sensei" or "Ringo-chan" but reveals a fierce temper when mistaken for female or unrecognized as a famous idol. He enjoys teasing colleague Ryuya Hyuga and displays manipulative tendencies, such as playfully claiming credit for arranging Haruka Nanami’s audition partnerships.

Professionally, he mentors Class A students including Haruka Nanami, Otoya Ittoki, Masato Hijirikawa, and Natsuki Shinomiya. He oversees their academic and performance evaluations—pairing composers with idols through a "red string of fate" concept and announcing critical assessments like singing tests. He recognizes Haruka’s exceptional compositional talent, dubbing her the "Goddess of Music" for creating emotionally resonant work.

His crossdressing stems from industry pressure; his agency mandated a feminine persona due to his "cute looks" to secure work. This forced identity conflicts with his private desire to be recognized as a conventional male idol. His history includes a close professional relationship with Ryuya Hyuga and their shared composer, Mori Haruki, whose death three years prior profoundly impacted both and contributed to Ryuya’s departure from idol work.

Across media, his role remains consistent. In the manga, students like Haruka recognize him immediately, contrasting with the anime where she initially does not. He facilitates key plot points, including selecting students for industry observation trips. His advisory duties extend into later franchise installments like the 2022 special *Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji Love ST☆RISH Tours: Tabi no Hajimari*.

Instrumentally skilled in clarinet with photography as a hobby, he maintains professional boundaries by refusing special favors for students while balancing approachability with authority.
