Jun Sazanami

Personality

Known for his calm and polite attitude towards others when working, Jun maintains a good reputation and fits in well with the face of society. Although his public appearance of being polite and level-headed is well known, he can be extremely sarcastic and backhanded in nature once no longer in the public eye. He's passionate in his work of being an idol, and is known to be great at what he does. However, he is also seen to be foul-mouthed and sarcastic when working with Hiyori Tomoe, since he has to deal with his eccentric and bold personality. can have a temper that flares when he’s stressed. The hard work he's put in since his school days has been earning him opportunities, and he is also active as part of Eve together with Hiyori Tomoe. He is diligent and passionate in nature, but turns foul-mouthed whenever he has to deal with Hiyori. Though he may seem rough and intimidating at a first glance, he makes up for it with the courteous manners he has honed. His delicate singing voice also has a quality of depth to it, and his performances are dynamic. He is currently a member of COSMIC PRODUCTION's Eden. Dissatisfied with his current state, he constantly strives to improve his personal best. On top of his fitness regime, he has begun training to refine his abilities of expression. “I'm Jun Sazanami, and I belong to a unit called Eden from COSMIC PRODUCTION. Let's see... My specialty is tennis-playing, and I spend most of my days off reading. ...Is that a bit too ordinary for an idol? Besides my personal life, I'll tell you about my charms in my live performances and work, so please take a look at those. Eden is the pinnacle of the modern idol industry. As a member of this unit, I'm giving my best effort, and I'll make you crazy about me.” Drives a Motorcycle

Appearance

Jun is a young man of average height with a good build and slightly tanned skin. He has spiky dark-blue hair with bangs that cross in the center. His hair is cut shorter, ending right bellow his ears. He has light-golden eyes. he works out frequently, every morning and evening and when he is stressed, so he has a muscular yet slim build.

Info

He has kept a poster of Jin Sagami on the wall next to his bed ever since childhood and feels uneasy without it. He and Hiyori found a dog on the street that was abandoned by its owner, covered in blood, and decided to take it home. Hiyori named the dog Bloody Mary and kept her in the Reimei dorm room he used to share with Jun in his third year, even though it was against school rules. She currently lives in Hiyori's ES dorm room. Although her exact breed is unknown, she resembles a Yorkshire Terrier. Jun is of a prominently disciplined nature in opposition to the fanciful, spirited forces that are Eden's head seniors, paralleling Ibara's stringent work ethic in many ways. As noted by Hiyori, Jun is keen on upholding consistent routines and habits, subsequently prioritizing his well-being with integrity. He is enthusiastic about working out, and will often spend his days off exercising if he has nothing else to do. He plays tennis and is very good at sports in general — he attributes his general athleticism to the intense training he underwent in his childhood and it is to the extent that he can easily leap and scale walls. He likes many kinds of manga, especially shounen manga, and hasn't had much experience reading classical literature. As a child, he wasn't allowed to touch anything that wasn't related to idols. As a result, he had to resort to going to manga cafés in order to read manga. He used to rarely play video games, but presumably due to Makoto's influence, he's started playing them more often, even hoping to beat the other in a newly-released game (although he ends up losing). Nowadays, he says that while he mostly only plays mobile games, he's also interested in other kinds of games, and would have joined something like the Game Research Club if Reimei Academy had one. Before he joined Eden, Jun would work a variety of part-time jobs in between school and idol lessons.

Info

He has some degree of cooking knowledge and used to cook for himself and Hiyori when they stayed in their Reimei dorm room together. Sora described his color as "A color that's gotten brighter since Sora first met him”. Jun obtained a motorcycle license in the second year of "Ensemble Stars!!", and uses it most frequently to collect Hiyori whenever he wanders off. However, according to him, Hiyori finds it "vulgar”

History

Jun has a complicated relationship with his family. They used to guide and support him in being a great idol and Jun used to be eager to participate in idol lessons; he dreamt of becoming a super idol himself one day just like his father and Jin Sagami before him. However, something happened in the past when Jun's curiousity in learning about idols caused his father to get worse. This event turned around their small happy life in a terrible way. Jun was unable to remember that he did in fact have some happy moments in his childhood, as he only remembered the days where his father forced him to train as an idol to surpass Jin. Jun stated that he rarely goes back to his family's house and only calls them once in a while to check on their condition.

mother

she was a fan of Jun's father during his idol days. She has been said to be someone who wants to stay looking after Jun's father forever, even when nobody else is looking at him anymore. She often tells Jun that he'll grow up to be like his dad, an amazing idol, and watching Jun grow to be like him makes her very happy. When Jun learned the truth about his father, she became unstable and started crying all the time. She is always sorry to Jun about what happened in their family. She did her best talking things out with Jun's father to fix their mistakes; she also stays to take care of Jun's father, and keeps him out of the money he earned during his peak idol days so it won't be wasted by him.

father

A former idol who was active between Seiya's era and Jin's era. He was an active idol in the past that could be worthy enough to be counted as a Super Idol. Unfortunately for him, before he manage to reach the peak of his career and write his name in the history as one of a legend, his popularity began to decline. The agency that handled Jin took advantage of Jun's father's condition and decided to use him as a stepping stone to promote Jin. During a match with Jin in which he was rigged to lose, he made Jin promise that he would never quit being an idol as he was forced to retired from the stage. Not long after that, Jin also disappeared from the idol industry after a huge scandal and retired, betraying the promise he made. Years later, Jun's father sent Jin a CD of the live with the statement that Jin was a liar.[3] He used to be a kind and very serious person, but because of some problems he exploded; Jun said that he became someone he was not. He forced Jun to take over his grudge to overcome Jin so he'll be able to make Jin pay for his sins. Jun sometimes speaks about his father's grudge being a burden that was forced onto him, and connects to Subaru because of this.
