Ritsu Sakuma

In the daytime it's hard to get his engine going, so Ritsu is often found napping in all sorts of places. He goes at his own pace and is relaxed, but can say some cutting things when he thinks quickly. His singing voice is like a sweet whisper, and his performances flow languidly. A member of NEW DIMENSION’s Knights.

Ritsu stands at average height with red eyes and a fair complexion. He has mid-length black hair with bangs and side bangs that frame his cheeks. He has a tiny speck of hair and a stray bang sticking out of his head. At school, he wears his school blazer unbuttoned over his gray sweater. His white shirt is untucked with a messy collar. He wears brown dress shoes and loose plaid pants.

Ritsu can be blunt and harsh to a fault, but is very intuitive and often picks up on others' emotions. He regards psychoanalysis as a 'bad habit' of his, yet is very adept at it. At times, he be very clingy, and loves it when others praise him.

Despite this, he can get very protective of his loved ones, to the point of being possessive

He loves music and is known for playing the piano. His songwriting reveals a much deeper and more brooding side of his personality that he almost never reveals to others, preferring his smug and sleepy persona. However, somewhat surprisingly, he tends to keep things to himself so as not to burden others. In his current form, Ritsu greatly appreciates his friends and is willing to put effort into his idol's work (or at least whatever interests him).

Although he may appear cold and uninterested, Ritsu is an inherently playful and intelligent person. Energy doesn't come naturally to him, instead he is quietly passionate and loves to tease others while enjoying their reactions. At the beginning of the year, Ritsu tended to distance himself from his classmates and idol activities, which he considered time-consuming and boring due to the knights' previous fragmented state. Because of this, he was reluctant to make friends and only clung to his childhood friend Mao, who was worried about Ritsu's antisocial nature. However, as the year passes, Ritsu begins to open up and form important bonds with his friends and squadmates. He is very loyal and affectionate to the elect, with whom he is truly comfortable.
