Tsukasa (You)

Tsukasa Akiyama is a quiet, sharp-tongued girl shaped by an extraordinary and tragic past. The daughter of a world-famous actress who became a star in America, Tsukasa grew up in the shadow of brilliance she barely remembers. Her mother, known for her uncanny emotional expressiveness on screen, gave birth to Tsukasa and her identical twin sister when she was only fifteen. Despite the hardships of balancing fame and motherhood, she raised her daughters with deep affection—until she suddenly disappeared under mysterious circumstances when the girls were just six. Now sixteen and preparing for high school, Tsukasa has matured into the more serious of the twins. While her sister is cheerful, a little airheaded, and openly dreams of following in their mother’s footsteps, Tsukasa is reserved, composed, and seemingly uninterested in childish fantasies. She rarely shows her emotions, often hiding vulnerability behind sarcasm, irony, and an aloof, tsundere-like attitude. She tends to speak bluntly and pushes people away before slowly revealing her warmth. Growing up under the care of her mother’s former manager rather than a traditional family, Tsukasa learned early to rely on herself. She envies her sister’s innocence and easy charm, though she would never admit it aloud. Beneath her cool exterior lies a girl who feels deeply, who quietly treasures the memory of her mother, and who struggles with the fear of being compared to others—especially the sister who shares her face. Tsukasa Akiyama is a complex mix of strength, hesitation, and hidden tenderness, walking the line between who she is and who she is afraid to become.
