Shu Itsuki

Due to his selective and distrustful nature, his friendships are few but extremely loyal.

Mika Kagehira (His Strongest Bond) Although technically his partner in the Valkyrie unit, Mika is the person closest to Shu. Their relationship began with a "master and puppet" dynamic due to Mika's extreme dependence, but over time it evolved into a bond of deep affection, mutual respect, and unconditional friendship, where Shu seeks to protect him and help him shine.

The Five Oddballs: Shu openly refers to this group of talented misfits as his "most precious friends." His key connections are: Wataru Hibiki: He is considered by Wataru himself to be his best friend. They share an overflowing passion for the dramatic arts. Shu happily designs the costumes for the Dramatica troupe's plays in which Wataru acts. Rei Sakuma: They maintain constant and fluid communication. They often use unusual tools (like a wind-up phone) because they both share a complete lack of understanding of modern technology. Natsume Sakasaki and Kanata Shinkai: They complete the quintet. Although Shu often complains about the others' eccentricities, he defends and values ​​them for understanding what it means to be "different" within the academy system.

Kuro Kiryu (Childhood Friend) possesses one of the richest backstories in the series. Kuro protected Shu from bullying in elementary school when he was teased for his love of dolls. Furthermore, Kuro's mother taught them both sewing and knitting. Although they drifted apart in middle school after tragic events and misunderstandings, they managed to mend their friendship in their third year. Kuro remains one of the few people Shu allows himself to speak to with complete familiarity.

Tastes:

Antique dolls: She has an immense fascination and respect for them. Her most prized possession is her puppet Mademoiselle, whom she treats like a real person.

Croissants: It's her absolute favorite food.

Black: His preferred color within his sophisticated aesthetic.

French culture and fine arts: His passion for classical art led him to move his base of operations and artistic career to France.

Dislikes:

Places with lots of people: She hates crowds and chaotic environments due to her introverted and neurotic nature.

Things that are unpunctual or disorganized: Being an extreme perfectionist, he cannot stand a lack of discipline or mediocrity.

Concept of "Gods": Initially, it clashed a lot with characters like Kanata Shinjikai, since Shu flatly refuses to believe in deities or to feel belittled.

Hobbies and Specialties:

Creating clothes for dolls: Her main hobby is designing and sewing miniature outfits for her collection.

Lacemaking: It is her technical specialty.

Her incredible skill with sewing and hand-knitting is directly reflected in the detailed costumes she designs for Valkyrie.

He is the oldest and tallest member of Valkyrie.
Shu's signature consists of his full name, written in Roman letters. Some of the letters in his name have long extensions that resemble puppet strings.
Although black is her favorite color, she doesn't actually have a single favorite color, as different colors appeal to her depending on her mood and emotions. She is also particularly drawn to Van Gogh's yellow and the blue of Chagall and Vermeer.
He's a bookworm, that's why he has knowledge about many philosophical and historical topics.
Shu currently attends university in France.
He frequently adds French words to his speech, especially "Non!" (No!) or "Très bien!" (Very good!).
Additionally, Shu can be heard speaking full sentences in French during a narration segment in DREAM LIVE -4th Tour "Prism Star!"- .
He has a much closer relationship with his grandfather than with his parents. This is probably because they frequently scolded him and did not support Shu's interests.
He is Kuro's childhood friend.
During his childhood, Shu held Kuro's mother in high esteem because she supported his interests. He mentions that he felt jealous of the relationship between her and Kuro.
Kuro's mother was the one who taught him to weave lace.
Due to his poor relationship with food, he only eats his own cooking and croissants. However, this seems to be changing, as over time he has become more willing to eat food he hasn't prepared himself.
Often, other children in his neighborhood bullied him for playing with dolls.
As a child, he drew sketches of clothing designs, which he now reviews for inspiration and recreates with more modern features.
Although they went to school together, Mika lived at Shu's house to avoid commuting daily from her home in Kansai.
He doesn't like other people touching Valkyrie's outfits, which means he washes them by hand himself.

Shu is the youngest son of a wealthy, old family with roots in the Kansai region. The family had a villa built in Tokyo, in a modern, Western style. When Shu's grandfather, the head of the Itsuki family, grew old, the family moved to the villa because of its modern, barrier-free design, which made caring for his grandfather easier. Therefore, Shu was born and raised in this family villa. [8]

Shu often visits the family residence in the Kansai region during vacations. The house is described as an old, rather outdated, Japanese-style building.

Although he was once considered arrogant, dishonest, and selfish, Shu was kind-hearted and rather fastidious, with a short temper and an obsession with perfection. However, over time, he became more open with those around him. He is passionate about antique dolls and has a fascination with all forms of art and European culture.

Shu is a tall, well-built young man. He has short, light pink, slightly tousled hair and violet eyes. On warm days, his casual attire consists of a light blue shirt with white and gray flowers and black trousers with a belt. On cold days, he wears a burgundy coat with a gold brooch featuring a green gem on the lapel. Underneath, he wears a black turtleneck sweater, burgundy trousers to match the coat, and a black belt. With both outfits, he wears a gold watch on his left wrist.

On stage, Shu sports Valkyrie's new uniform: a pinkish-red coat over a black shirt and an elegant corset. She also wears a white ribbon with a red jewel around her neck, a dark pink hat with a feather on one side, and two brown gear accessories.

During this period, the council exerts absolute and dictatorial control over the academy's activities and idols, sparking the Trickstar unit's revolution.

They were labeled "eccentrics" by the Student Council, led by Eichi Tenshouin, who used them as the academy's "villains" to unite the rest of the students and revolutionize the idol system. Despite being the target of this strategy, this painful past strengthened their friendship and created an unbreakable bond of loyalty. Members and Roles in the Group: Rei Sakuma (The Spiritual Leader): He is considered the older brother of the group. He uses his wisdom and resources to protect the other members, especially Natsume.

Kanata Shinkai (The Sea Deity): He brings a mystical and relaxed aura to the group. Along with Rei and Wataru, he forms the original trio that bore the initial weight of the academy. Shu Itsuki (The Lone Artist): He is the most perfectionist and proud. Although he has trouble admitting it publicly, he deeply values ​​the respect and validation he receives from his four peers. Natsume Sakasaki (The Younger Brother): He is the youngest member. The other four dote on him, take care of him, and try to protect him from the darker aspects of the idol industry. Their Current Dynamics: Although the revolution at the academy has ended and each belongs to different agencies and musical units (UNDEAD, fine, Ryuseitai, Valkyrie, and Switch), they still meet frequently.
