Mao Isara sports red-violet hair secured by a yellow clip and light green eyes, standing at 169 cm. As both Trickstar’s steadfast mediator and Yumenosaki Academy’s student council president—later succeeded by Tori Himemiya—he balances sociability with a self-effacing nature, shaped by childhood experiences of downplaying athletic prowess in soccer and rock-paper-scissors tournaments to avoid rivalry. His upbringing in a family that prioritized his sister fostered insecurities about meeting expectations, compounded by an incident where childhood friend Ritsu Sakuma’s vampire-themed pranks involving rubber band guns instilled a lasting wariness of sharp objects. During his first year, Mao clashed with Makoto Yuuki over club abolition notices before joining forces to rescue the Game Club, catalyzing Trickstar’s formation with Subaru Akehoshi and Hokuto Hidaka after Valkyrie’s disbandment. His stage ensembles mirror Trickstar’s identity: red plaid jackets embroidered with golden stars, silver-sparkled bandanas, and a "T-S" pendant necklace. Offstage, he favors layered "DUNK!" graphic shirts, tri-colored jackets with chartreuse accents, and practical high-top sneakers. Though cheerful and diplomatic, Mao habitually suppresses emotions, touching his neck when uneasy—a telltale sign of hidden self-doubt. Preferring behind-the-scenes support, he reluctantly accepted leadership as council president, succeeding Eichi Tenshouin, yet remains Trickstar’s logistical anchor. Post-graduation, he pursues idol work with STARMAKER PRODUCTION while mentoring underclassmen like Shinobu Sengoku. Notable traits include a pollen allergy, proficiency in guitar and bass, and the nickname "Sally" from a magical girl series. His autograph blends playful Roman letters, while his name’s kanji denotes "truth" and "fresh starts," humorously echoing the Chinese word for "cat."
