Official Profile
Guidebook+ Profile
Current Website Profile
Appearance
Hifumi has a tall, skinny build with fair skin and golden brown eyes with turquoise highlights. He has blonde, teased, and layered wolf-style hair with side-parted bangs and green undersides.
Hifumi wears a black dress shirt, a dark grey waistcoat, dark purple pants and brown monk strap dress shoes. His suit jacket is grey with a dark purple lapel and, occasionally, a yellow rose in the right breast pocket. He wears a silver belt with a belt buckle that seems to be two silver Gs intertwining, multiple belt chains (a shorter beaded chain, and a longer beaded with Matenro’s symbol as some of the beads), two necklaces (a shorter beaded necklace with a Matenro cross as the charm, and a longer, black necklace with a red pendant), and rings on both his index fingers, pinky and thumb.
Hifumi’s Hypnosis Mic has a diamond and gold body with “GIGOLO” written on it, and the windscreen looks like a disco ball. Hifumi’s speaker takes the form of gold roses with speakers for the center, with a disco ball hanging over them.
Personality
Hifumi is an energetic, flirtatious, and confident man. He can be tone deaf and rude at times, often being blunt and somewhat mean with his word choice, but he is generally a kind-hearted man who wants the best for those around him. Outside of his suit jacket, Hifumi is bubbly and frivolous, and will throw formalities out the window. When wearing his suit jacket, he is princely and flamboyant, becoming the epitome of a perfect host.
Hifumi typically speaks in a very informal way, using mostly slang and a casual tone. He uses nicknames for pretty much everyone, regardless of how close they are. In host mode, Hifumi speaks more humble and semi-formal, using a more polite way of referring to others, including those he's close with.
Hifumi has a deep-rooted fear of women, which he is only able to overcome by putting on a suit jacket. He wants desperately to get better and no longer live with this fear, and is working hard to overcome his past trauma and understand it better. Hifumi has a passion for helping others, especially his clients, and has a tendency to be kind to a fault, especially to those who have wronged him.
