Description
Gaku Yaotome, a 22-year-old idol in TRIGGER, possesses striking grey hair and eyes, standing 183 cm tall. Born on August 16 with blood type B, his personality blends competitiveness, a sharp tongue, and deep passion, though he dislikes illogical situations. Despite projecting a flirtatious "playboy" image, he is fundamentally chaste, reserving genuine romantic interest solely for someone he truly loves. He holds the title "No. 1 male that most want to be embraced by," signifying "sexiest man alive" due to the term "daku's" strong sexual connotation.
Coming from a divorced family, he secretly maintains contact with his maternal relatives, receiving gifts from his mother and grandfather. This fuels his strong emphasis on family bonds. He discreetly assists at his maternal grandfather's soba shop, reflecting his love for soba, his favorite food. He also enjoys driving, holds a driver's license, and collects bath powders. His movie preferences focus on directors and cast over genre.
Within TRIGGER, he values his relationships with fellow members Tenn Kujo and Ryunosuke Tsunashi, often showing protectiveness and camaraderie. Though prone to cursing, he reveals vulnerability when depressed, resorting to sending riddles. Professionally, he adapts to diverse situations, like reluctantly participating in variety shows where his blunt reactions contrast his polished image. He learned guitar for a drama role from a band friend.
He develops a clear crush on Tsumugi Takanashi, IDOLiSH7's manager, asking her out for meals and offering to drive her home late at night, though scheduling conflicts or her father's intervention prevented these plans. He once suggested she disguise herself to observe TRIGGER's rehearsals for her stage production studies. When offering concert tickets, he respected her insistence on paying as a regular fan. TRIGGER and IDOLiSH7 members remain unaware of his secret identity as a soba delivery person from Yamamura, mistaking him for a lookalike.
His development involves reconciling his public persona with private authenticity, emphasizing self-acceptance as captured in his advice: "Erase all the noise around you. Listen for your own voice. Instead of striving to become someone who’ll be loved by a hundred people, become someone you’ll love yourself." Later seasons explore TRIGGER's conflicts and collaborations with IDOLiSH7.
