Tsumugi Aoba/Profile

A member of the unit Switch and the library chairman of Yumenosaki. He is interested in fortune telling and divination, and keeps a lucky item of the day as part of his daily routine.

He often receives harsh treatment from Natsume, has a hard time understanding his juniors and often complains about younger people scaring him.

Voice Actor Comment
"I don’t have many roles in idol projects, so when my role was decided in Ensemble Stars!, I received a lot of surprised reaction from fans. Even when it was decided that I’ll be singing unit songs, there was a big response. I’m not good at singing, but since I was chosen to voice Aoba, I was determined that I’ve got to give my all in singing! I’d feel sorry if Tsumugi Aoba’s charm will be halved because I can’t sing well, so… In order to bring out his charm, I figured I’d have to practice with my all and do my best from now on too."
