OVA
Description
Shū Kuga, a student at Ayanagi Academy and member of Team Ōtori, lost his father young, prompting his mother to work long hours. To make her smile, he imitated musical performances from television. Her positive reaction ignited his deep passion for musical theater and a dream to perform for her, fueling his dedication. Standing 177 cm tall with a birthday of April 2 and blood type AB, Kuga appears quiet and aloof, often seeming like a loner. Yet, he maintains friendships and shows concern for others. A workaholic with practical skills, he possesses poor drawing ability without realizing it, along with a bad sense of direction, difficulty remembering faces, and a preference for non-showy individuals.
His relationships evolve gradually. Childhood friend Izumi Toraishi attends the same academy and habitually borrows Kuga's possessions without returning them. With teammate Yuta Hoshitani, Kuga established rapport during an improvisational exercise by passing him a blank paper, symbolizing trust in their unscripted performance. As roommate and classmate of Kaito Tsukigami, their dynamic involves borrowing everyday items like chargers or shampoo, reflecting domestic familiarity, though Tsukigami is occasionally annoyed by Kuga lending things to Toraishi.
Kuga works part-time at establishments with pianos, utilizing his self-taught piano skills. He commutes via motorcycle and demonstrates strong loyalty to his mother, helping with chores and reacting harshly to anyone causing her trouble.
During a Halloween OVA, Kuga joined group activities like pumpkin decorating, seasonal food prep, and spooky traditions. When a ghost story and subsequent dorm blackout caused unease, he participated in the group's investigation into the apparent supernatural occurrences. He also performed in the musical number "DEAR DREAM!" alongside Hoshitani and Kakeru Tengenji.
His musical contributions include solo tracks like "RADIANT MIND" and duets such as "By Your Side" with Tsukigami. Alternate universe depictions in franchise materials show him in varied non-canonical roles like florist, martial artist, and mafia member.
