Keino Haruki

Haruki works as an exclusive model under the alias "Kasuga Hotaru" for a fashion brand owned by his older sister Chizuru. Although he initially does not want to cross-dress, he eventually accepts his position as a model, hoping to help with his household income even a little. He also comes to like wearing cute outfits made by his sister.

Kind-hearted, earnest and caring, he has a strong sense of justice and responsibility, and cannot ignore those who are in trouble. He dreams of being strong, imposing, and muscular like a hero in a movie, but in reality, the exact opposite, since he is slim and meek like a maiden in a flower garden. Due to his complexity, when his girlish self is pointed out, he gets depressed.

Even though he disapproves of it, his womanly nature is quite strong as he has been taking care of his lazy sister for a long time. Particularly, he is good at doing housework and can cook, clean and do laundry easily. Perhaps because of his work as a model, his gestures and behavior have become more feminine over the years, if he is dressed up like a girl, no one would notice his true gender.

As for his cross-dressing, he was asked by his sister to do it daily from an early age. Maybe because of this, he has little resistance to cross-dressing itself (but this does not mean that he fully embrace it). The name "Kasuga Hotaru" is a stage name given to him by his sister for an idol audition when he was young. When he begins working as a model, he retains the name.
