__Club:__ Theatre Club (President)
An idol with a flair for acting and magic tricks. Wataru is restless and full of energy. He also treasures love and surprises. With cheerful dancing and singing, he delivers bold, showy performances.
A member of Starmaker Production's fine.

Wataru is a loud enigmatic young man who is well-known for his theatrical capabilities. More often than not he is performing some kind of trick or act, especially when around Eichi Tenshouin. He loves to tease his friends (much to Keito Hasumi's chagrin), but it's always done in a light-hearted nature.

Many of the people around him believe he lives in his own world, but it's actually the opposite that is true. Thanks to Wataru's well-known status as a performer, and as an eccentric personality, he is hyperaware of his surroundings and never lets his act up to ensure no one around him gets bored.

While he is known for trying to keep the mood light, and for keeping everyone entertained, he can become quite ruthless when training his juniors. But his extreme training has no malicious intent, as he usually sees things that others do not and wishes to hone his juniors' skills to the best of his capability so that they can have an easier time in the future. He also does his best to encourage his friends, such as Keito Hasumi and Shu Itsuki, to utilize their talents unsuitable for idol work in other fields, namely in theater.


An anime adaptation of the idol raising game Ensemble Stars! 

The "idol-training game" takes place at a private boys' idol-training school with a history of turning out many great talents in show business. The protagonist is the school's lone female student who transfers to the school because of a special situation, and enters the school's producer department.
