Kuroko Akihiko

Kuroko Akihiko is a second year and the current leader of the school idol group Rhythm. He prefers to be called by his nickname "Kuro".

Background
Used to be a bully.

Personality
Kuro is a nice person, but when it comes to doing any sort of activity, he is strict and demanding. Gifted with a natural talent of dancing, he aims to become a great idol with his fellow members. However, there's a deeper reason why Kuro still insists to become an idol.

Kuro can be too strict and demanding. He is also impatient and may lose his temper when no one listens to him or when he does not have his way.

Kuro values first impressions. He believes idols should show their strength, charisma and talent early in a performance and catch people's hearts at the beginning of a performance. Even if it means trying to show a lot of gimicks - and being too emotional - to achieve it. To him, being idol is like taking a spiritual journey to redemption, like a samurai.
