Michio Hazama

Hometown: Awaji Island Height: 178 cm Michio is a former math teacher. He's resolved himself to guiding the youth and invited Rui and Jiro to quit their jobs and become idols for this purpose. Thus began the formation of S.E.M. Michio has a personality so serious, it doesn't slip even during performances, not even a little. He's an ardent perfectionist who repeats his exercises as many times as perfection needs. Though he can be strict at times with himself and others, Michio is, above all, full of affection and enthusiasm for the youths. He sometimes makes mathematical references in his speech, though others around him tend to not understand them. In general, he tackles any problem from a logical viewpoint, often organizing his ideas on white boards and drawing up graphs and other mathematical representations to aid him in coming to a solution or in presenting his ideas. It is often Jiro who has to stop Michio from becoming too carried away in his drawn-out explanations. He is close with his family, as he sometimes receives gifts from his parents from his hometown, and visits them during long vacations. His younger sister, when visiting her brother, requests he guides her around the cities. While he notes it would be nice to perform in Awaji Island, he believes he is unprepared as an idol to return to his hometown as is.
