ensemble stars !! era

kishi The second student to enroll in the Producer Course. He is a laid-back guy with a soft voice, but tends to be a little more hardworking than he lets on.

Personality

Kishi has a very hardworking yet laid-back attitude to work, and all of his work is completed to a very high standard.
He’s rather insecure of his looks, especially his hair. This is due to when he was a child actor, as his parents abused the fact he was cute and rare to use him for money.

Entomology

Meaning "beach" or "seashore," Kishi (岸) is a name that speaks to the natural ebb and flow of life.
Yamaguchi (山口) is the 14th most common Japanese surname and means ‘mountain entrance/gateway’.

Family

His mother and father forced him to be a child actor, causing him to hold a strong dislike for them. As a familial unit, they are not close, meaning that all the punishment he received from them was lack of allowance that he didn’t own himself and a long lecture.

Trivia

  • he's very selective with what he buys due to the budgeting he gained as a habit when he was young, tending to operate by the 'do i want, do i need' ideology
  • he's quite lean, but he's quite well built in terms of muscle. he can't scale walls or something, but he can run pretty fast and has a good grasp on his core and momentum

  • when he cut his hair it was really choppy, but he can actually cut hair well if not in a panicked state

History

i do not proofread these, they are literally the same as how i wrote them at 1am

when he was younger, kishi's parents were in a much worse economical state than when he grew up. therefore, in order to make as much money as they could, they forced him into the world of child acting. this obviously took a massive toll on him, but he never really knew anything outside of the world they had given him.

during the time he was acting, he once worked with a child modelling agency, which let him meet izumi, makoto and arashi, albeit briefly.

as he grew up, his parents became more financially stable to the point where they could live an almost lavish lifestyle even without the income he was bringing. knowing acting was doing nothing for him mentally, he asked his parents if he could stop working with that agency. however, his parents disliked the idea; it was almost like kishi was simply a moneymaker to them.

kishi transferred onto the producer course around a month after anzu via scholarship, knowing he wouldn't want to get far into idolhood as it was probably as damaging as acting. throughout his school life, he still had to take various jobs for the money, but he tried to make sure it didn't affect his school life.

when he transferred, he tried to find solace within anzu so they could get to know eachother more, yet anzu had buried herself so far into her work he could really not do anything to get into contact with her unless it was related to any of her shows or other work. however, he also accustomed himself to working with the units who would approach him. this was a semi-rare occurance as anzu was generally the more popular producer, but he would never mind taking care of some of a unit's issues.

at one point, trickstar approached him to ask for a small amount of help, meaning that he ended up working more closely with anzu and obviously trickstar. makoto and him were somewhat familiar due to their idol work, allowing them to grow closer.

in es!! kishi cuts his hair during his centre event due to the pressure of his parents becoming too much and wanting to change his image completely for the acting industry to remove him
he cuts it badly during a mental breakdown, causing him to literally ruin his hair until he can cut it to a better style
its kinda similar to rapunzels haircutting scene
but so yeah his parents are really mad at him later but really he does NOT care because like he's hated them for like . ever

the progression of the event that i thought of was like

  • prologue - talking to makoto arashi n sena about why he cut his hair
  • flashback for like . 8 episodes which details his childhood, the cutting of his hair itself, and his parent's reactions to him cutting his hair
  • epilogue is kinda just how he realises hes grown and sena being like 'holy shit bro thats WILD not like i care though' whilst both makoto and arashi are like sympathising
    m not sure though since i cant find the notes i made n theres probably more to it
