Mamiya Takaaki

Mamiya Takaaki (眞宮 孝明) is an idol under TSUKINO TALENT PRODUCTION. He is a member, and the leader, of the unit VAZZY and his representative gemstone is amethyst. His personal manager is Harada Naoki.

Appearance
Takaaki is a relatively tall man with dark brown hair that almost reaches his collar and light purple eyes. He has both of his ears pierced.

Personality
Takaaki seems to be a confident and extroverted individual who can easily converse with anyone and, according to himself, is capable of fitting in to any situation. He dislikes formal and polite speech, instead going straight to calling people by their first name within minutes of meeting them. Despite his confidence, he is less willing to participate in something if he isn't sure it will be successful, as he wishes to maintain an image of being smart, successful and cool.

By his own admittance, he likes to push peoples buttons and gets enjoyment from seeing how they react. Being the leader though means he has a tendency to try and make the other members get along well so that the unit can work together better as a team.

History
At one point in the past he, Takamura Shiki, Izumi Shu, Sukigawa Rei, & Mikaze Roa were in the same idol group that was extremely famous and well-known nationwide.

At some point in 2017 he was contacted about the VAZZROCK project, initially he was unenthusiastic about the idea but after meeting Kira Ouka he ultimately decided to participate. He also initially said he'd be happy if someone else were the leader of the unit, but being one of the most experienced and famous members led to him acquiring the title of leader in VAZZY.

At VAZZY's first meeting as a group, Takaaki spent a lot of time trying to make sure the group got along well and tried to find a good activity that would help them bond as a group. However, his idea of a fun group bonding activity was drinking alcohol, even though it was only noon and two of the units members are underage.

VAZZY
Kira Ouka - Although they were both in the entertainment industry from a relatively young age they did not formally meet one another until they were both contacted about joining the VAZZROCK project. Ultimately, Ouka played a significant role in Takaaki deciding to join the project, as Ouka called him out for being afraid to challenge himself. Conversely, Takaaki also has an influence on Ouka's decision to join the project too as he was happy to learn that Takaaki might be involved as he was excited at the prospect of finally befriending someone in the same industry.

From this initial encounter Takaaki described Ouka as a very outspoken and passionate individual, he also said Ouka isn't very good at blending in because he stands out too much. At VAZZY's first meeting as a unit he also remarked that Ouka can have a bit of a hot-temper, as shown by his interaction with Issa.

Kiduku Issa - So far Takaaki and Issa seem to have an amicable but antagonistic relationship; Issa is rude to Takaaki (as his with pretty much everyone) and Takaaki enjoys provoking him in response. Takaaki however does think Issa gets spoiled by his brother too much and that he can sometimes act like a 'wild beast'.

Kiduku Futaba - Takaaki gets along better with Futaba than his brother, and has described him as friendly and doting. He does however think that Futaba is a little too soft on Issa sometimes, saying that he spoils him too much and does too much of his work for him.

Oyama Naosuke - Nao appears to look up to Takaaki both as his unit leader and as a senpai as an idol, usually referring to him as 'Leader'. Yuma also joked when Nao gave Takaaki a Mother's Day present it was because he see's Takaaki as a Mother because he cooked food for him.

Shirase Yuma - Similar to Nao, Yuma looks up to and respects Takaaki due to his position as their leader and his experience as an idol.

SolidS
Takamura Shiki - Despite being in a unit together when they were younger the two apparently don't talk much anymore, this could be due to the circumstances under which Shiki left the unit.

QUELL
Izumi Shu - Similar to his relationship with Shiki, despite being in the same unit the two apparently didn't kept in touch much and aren't really friends anymore.

infinit0
Sukigawa Rei - When talking about infinit0's music Takaaki commented that Rei's face and voice give off an aura of coolness, and yet he actually has a natural tendency to be a bit airheaded, creating what Takaaki called a loveable personality gap.

Mikaze Roa - In the same discussion where he talked about Rei being an airhead he said Roa gets a certain tone when asking someone for something, saying that he sounds like he wants to be pampered. Takaaki warned people to be careful when Roa's using his "honey~" tone, implying he's perhaps been victim to Roa's charm before in the past.
