Ryou Akizuki

**Hometown:** Tokyo, Japan **Height:** 162 cm Ryou is the cousin of [Ritsuko Akizuki](https://anilist.co/character/6170), who has been a recurring character in the series. He is calm, soft, and all-around a cool and collected boy. In many ways, he is the opposite of his unnecessarily-harsh cousin. He carries an air of femininity, due to which he tends to be asked out by male classmates. Deeply worried by his feminine image and hoping to become more popular with the girls, Ryou has been considering becoming an idol for a long time, but when he visits the 765 Production office to discuss this idea with his cousin Ritsuko, she appears skeptical towards his plans. However, she is prepared to introduce him to Manami Okamoto, a manager at 876 Production. Manami, in deep trouble because of an 876 idol having become unable to perform at a live that is about to take place, is glad to accept Ryou as a substitute. Much to his disturbance, he has to go on stage dressed as a girl.
