"Let's get things done... Becoming the new foundation, to open up a new future" - Shiki Toma

Appearance

Shiki is a tall, thin young man with auburn hair and brown eyes. At the start of the series, he often wears his school uniform which consists of a black T-shirt, brown vest and black pants and shoes. But then he starts wearing the Kao Council jacket later on.

Personality

Shiki Toma is a kind, intelligent and mature person. He is very level-headed and is sensitive to the needs of others to the point that he will often go out of his way to help them.

At first, he didn't want to join the Kao Council because he didn't like the way Ayanagi screens out its students. But he agreed to do it after Otori convinced him that he would see something new from the top and may be able to invoke change in the academy.

Shiki doesn't care about his position as leader of the Kao Council, emphasising more importance on the younger students and making sure that Opening Ceremony is a success. This eventually puts him into conflict with Ryo Fuyusawa who has high ambitions and actually desired the position as leader.

He is also very driven and hardworking. However, he has a habit of overworking himself to the point where he often forgoes sleeping and eating.

Relationships

Yuta Hoshitani

Shiki first met Yuta while he was taking a nap at the old outdoor stage. After waking up, he asks Yuta what he is doing at the old outdoor stage and Yuta replies that it is a special place to him. Hearing that, Shiki informs Yuta that the school is tearing down the outdoor stage soon since it is old and that this area will be off limits starting this semester. Noticing Yuta's despondent face, Shiki replies that he is willing to let Yuta's visits slide once in a while, since no one comes to the place anyway. Replying that it'll be their little secret, Shiki walks away.

After that meeting, Shiki and Yuta meet up regularly at that place whenever Yuta is feeling depressed or needs to think and Shiki offers him advice in return. Though Yuta is unaware of Shiki's position as the head of the Kao Council. After Shiki's identity is revealed during the test stage for Opening Ceremony, Yuta is shocked but is also happy that he is willing to listen to their request of performing in Opening Ceremony.

Later on, Yuta admits that he didn't like Shiki at first, but he has grown to like him after getting to know him.

Ryo Fuyusawa

Ryo Fuyusawa is Shiki's right hand man. He handles most of the work and often acts as Shiki's stand in for public assemblies. They have been friends for a while and he supported Shiki when he started making reforms as the leader of the Kao Council, despite Shiki believing that Ryo would have made the better leader.

But a rift is soon drawn between them, when Shiki allows Team Otori and the other Stardust Members to perform in Opening Ceremony. As Ryo's frustration continues to grow, their conflicting ideologies of change and pure performance vs traditions and personal success become more apparent. Ryo who initially wanted the position as leader, believes in using only the most excellent performers (Team Hiragi) in order to protect the traditions of the Kao Council and to further his own personal success. While Shiki believes that everyone has the right to perform and wants to put on a fun performance even if it means going against Ayanagi's traditions.

After Ryo gives Shiki one last warning, Shiki refuses and he is forced to fight against his fellow Kao member. Ryo, in turn revolts and begins making plans to use Team Hiragi to prove that Shiki's ideals are wrong to everyone.

Masashi Irinatsu

Masashi first met Shiki during their first year together at Ayanagi, when Shion and his team were having problems with their choreography and Shiki offered to tutor them. Though their first practice session didn't go well, eventually they managed to pull the whole team into their practice sessions and were able to pass. After that, Masashi became Shiki's friend and a fellow member of the Kao Council, but he is worried about the growing rift between Shiki and Ryo Fuyusawa.

Shion Kasugano

Shiki has been friends with Shion ever since their first year Ayanagi. They first met when Shion, Masashi and his team were having trouble with their choreography and Shiki offered to tutor them. Though their first practice session didn't go well, eventually they managed to pull the whole team into their practice sessions and were able to pass. After that, Shion became Shiki's devoted friend and fellow Kao Council Member. He is willing to do anything for Shiki and worries about his health constantly.

Chiaki Takafumi

Chiaki is Toma's friend and fellow Kao Council member. They both get along well and have a good friendship. Chiaki also respects Shiki and doesn't bear a grudge against him. Though their relationship does get strained when Ryo Fuyusawa starts acting out against the Council for allowing Stardust to perform in Opening Ceremony.
