Hokuto Hidaka, son of a celebrated idol father and acclaimed actress mother, grew up under the care of his maternal grandmother due to his parents’ frequent absences. Their distant careers fueled his resolve to carve a distinct identity separate from their shadow. His grandmother’s nurturing imbued him with old-fashioned sensibilities, including a preference for chestnut-flavored konpeito and classic aesthetics. As Trickstar’s leader, Hokuto commands with calm authority and meticulous dedication, striving to exceed his parents’ legacy while exploring human emotion through performance. Though stern and responsibility-driven, he balances leadership with loyalty, mediating unit disputes and guiding members Subaru Akehoshi, Makoto Yuuki, and Mao Isara. His earnestness often leads to unintentionally comedic moments, like misinterpreting jokes or fixating on peculiar details, revealing layers beneath his rigid exterior. Childhood admiration for Subaru’s natural talent once bred insecurity, but their bond—forged in youth—matured into mutual respect, blending Subaru’s spontaneity with Hokuto’s discipline. Trials like the DDD event tested his resolve, countered by his grandmother’s steadfast encouragement to remain authentic. Mentorship under Theater Club’s Wataru Hibiki sharpened his acting skills, though Wataru’s whimsical antics occasionally disrupt his composure. Hokuto sports deep blue eyes and neatly trimmed black hair, his style echoing his tastes: crisp blue plaid stage outfits adorned with Trickstar’s stars, and casual navy button-downs or gray turtlenecks. A habitual sleeve-roller, he embodies readiness for challenges. Notable relationships include protective guidance of classmate Anzu as student council president, playful tension with Wataru over hinted affections toward her, and a grounded roommate dynamic with Keito Hasumi. Collaborations like CRAFTMONSTER with Ritsu Sakuma highlight his social adaptability. Growth emerges through Mao’s counsel to temper ambition with empathy, reflecting his journey to harmonize personal drive with collective understanding.
