Mitsuki Izumi

Mitsuki Izumi is the positive ray of energy for IDOLiSH7 and excels in emceeing. He is always looking out and taking care of the younger members, especially for his younger brother Iori Izumi.

Personality
Mitsuki is energetic and optimistic, determined about his job as an idol as a result of his childhood dream to become one. He is like an older brother within IDOLiSH7 because he takes care of them, including being the cook for their meals.

He often acts as the straight man (or the Tsukkomi in Manzai routines) especially to his sub-unit members Yamato Nikaido and Nagi Rokuya. This sometimes extends to Momo as his fellow emcee, where both intentionally play it up for the audience.

Despite that, Mitsuki is actually self-conscious at heart and lacks a heavy amount of self-love. This is seen throughout the series where he finds himself aware of his low popularity within IDOLiSH7 and what some fans think of him, which was typically "annoying" for being the main speaker during their programs. In reality, his job is largely respected in the industry and he's received many compliments from different companies about his talent to which has brought him to tears on at least one occasion.

History
Mitsuki's parents own a bakery named Fonte Chocolat. He had a normal childhood and grew up with his younger brother Iori Izumi. Mitsuki has always aspired to become an idol ever since ZERO's visit to the bakery when he was young.

Prior to joining IDOLiSH7, he has failed countless of auditions as a result of his short stature. At some point Iori had intervened to suggest methods for him to succeed, including marketing himself to be cute; this resulted in a quarrel between the brothers as Mitsuki knew being cute would not be true to himself. It also developed a complex in him because his younger brother had always been "perfect" and did not have to worry about failing anything. They made up at some point, with Mitsuki initiating the apology.

Mitsuki was only able to join IDOLiSH7 as when Iori was scouted by Otoharu Takanashi, he accepted solely on the terms that Mitsuki will be allowed to audition with him as brothers and brought him to the Izumi household. Mitsuki thought they were being tricked, but after Otoharu had a proper meeting with their parents since Iori was still a minor, he agreed to it almost immediately. In Part 1 of the Main Story, Banri confirms that the initial reason for Mitsuki entering the group was because Iori would only accept the offer if Mitsuki was also accepted, but Otoharu says it was because he saw Mitsuki's talent, otherwise he would not have been accepted into IDOLiSH7 no matter the reason.
