Ensemble Stars! Profile
Chiaki heads into things with full force and zeal. He is friendly to anyone no matter the person, but due to being too touchy-feely, his juniors can sometimes find him a nuisance. He's admired super heroes from a young age, and performs hero shows on his day off.
He loves to help people out, and is eager to undertake anything. To many people, he's seen as annoyingly enthusiastic, but he's a good-natured, optimistic upperclassman. He often gets injured during his stunt work, and has to be taken care of by the school doctor, Jin Sagami.
He is RYUSEI Red from the unit RYUSEITAI. He makes it a point for all members to have their own introductory line.
Appearance
Chiaki is tall and athletic. He has short brown hair kept in a tousled fashion, and matching red-brown colored eyes.
On stage, he wears the red color version of RYUSEITAI's uniform. It includes a black and white leather jacket with red accents and gold trimming and detailing. The jacket is longer on the back than it is in the front, and the inside is designed with a sparkly purple fabric, reminiscent of a galaxy. He wears a black shirt underneath and a gold necklace with a red star as well as white form-fitting pants with a sparkly purple stripe down the outer sides. This is accessorized with a red and white striped belt with a gold and red star-shaped buckle. The belt has golden strings dangling from it and a sparkly red and white wrap tied to it. He also wears tall red boots with white accents and gold detailing, along with a pair of black fingerless gloves.

Personality
Chiaki is a bright, passionate person. He expresses his love for his hobbies in dramatic but excitable ways, because he enjoys sharing his passion with other people, and likewise, enjoys it when other people do the same with him. He loves to dote on his juniors, no matter how cold they are to him.[3]
He enjoys having physical contact with people, and is known to embrace his friends and juniors to express his joy and love. His passion can be overbearing sometimes to other people due to how exaggerative and dramatic he expresses himself. However, he is a helpful and kind person, always willing to offer a helping hand or lend an ear.
He sees the good in every single person he meets, and loves to give compliments. He is extremely empathetic and a worrywart, and for that reason, is easily drawn towards the person who's suffering the most.[4][5][6][7][8][9] He has a pragmatic approach to the world, such as calling the police when situations are dangerous[10], or protecting people not by defeating "monsters", but by providing them with emotional comfort and smiles.
He has a very strong sense of responsibility as a hero and a leader, which has made him develop a habit of overworking himself. In his third year of high school and the first few months of working as an idol in Ensemble Square, there were times when he pushed himself too hard, and got injured or sick in the process.[11][12][13][14][15] His stubborn side is an extension of his sense of obligation, and he often has moments when he refuses to back down from his convictions.[16][17][18] Despite all this, there are times he can be timid and unsure of himself, such as not believing he's as good as the people around him, likely due to these self-esteem issues.[4][19][20]
Chiaki is also noted by Kanata as well as himself to be a "crybaby"[21][22], and often cries in emotional moments, whether happy or sad; despite that, he has a strong enough pride that makes him want to hide those tears away. Not only that, but due to the fear of being seen as uncool by his juniors (and by kids who look up to him), he often shows a strong front whenever they're around. On the other hand, he doesn't do it as much with people his age, especially those who are close to him, such as Kanata and Kuro.
He thinks and talks to himself often, especially in attempts to calm himself down.[23][24][25]
Etymology
Chiaki's first name means "a thousand autumns". Incidentally, he was born in autumn, and autumn is often connected with the color red. The "Mori" (守) in his family name means "protect".
