Ryota "Kou Higashihara" Azuma
About
Ryota has had a knack for writing since his high school days, when he employed a cold demeanor to keep away those who were just looking to use him. Assuming the worst, he rejected Ao's confession back then for the same reason. In the present, after Ao's agency pushes for him to be cast in Ryota's most recent project, the two hit it off to a rocky start, with Ryota expressing disappointment at Ao's poor acting.
Ryota uses the pseudonym "Kou Higashihara" in his professional life.
