The Cast
The Girls of Future's Hope
Kioko Kozakura, Ultimate Board Gamer
A sprightly, energetic girl who loves playing board games, more specifically Clue and Monopoly. She was part of the Chess Club at school, but under her influence the club moved on from chess to all sorts of board games, and soon she was made club leader. She began competing in inter school chess matches, which turned into state, then country wide matches, and she became the youngest ever person to win a national chess match against people twice her age.
Sora Yukiko, Ultimate Snowboarder
An Olympic gold medalist, Sora works hard to be at peak performance for her talent. She cannonballed to international fame at ten years old as videos of her snowboarding skills went viral online. She stresses about her physical performance often due to her need to uphold the title of Ultimate, but she never learnt how to handle stress well. Some would say she gets a little bit snappy when she can't get on her snowboard often enough.
Kaida Satsuki, Ultimate Woodworker
A Woodworker famous for changing the product design world with her innovative thinking and new takes on old styles, Kaida has thousands lining up for her products. She was accepted into Future's Hope after she received national attention for her designs and products, and coined an entirely new style of design, which is a mix between the modern day and the past.
Aimi Minori, Ultimate Harajuku Fashionista
Aimi's loud clothing, out-there fashion sense and kind personality has made her a popular online influencer, and she has millions of people looking up to her for fashion advice. She strives to always be herself and tends to become a people magnet due to her aura.
Rei Amaterasu, Ultimate Exorcist
Rei claims she speaks to spirits at all hours of the night and day. She has a fondness for enclosed spaces due to her 'need' to be as close to spirits as possible, and her lack of ability to communicate with living people is due to her antisocial behaviour as a child and young adult.
She used to have an 'imaginary' friend called Eki, who brought Rei's parents much turmoil and caused them to move house. Eki has been quiet for the last few years, but nobody can tell if they're still around or not.
Fuyutake Ganko, Ultimate Graffiti Artist
Fuyutake is quite mysterious to her friends and classmates, and not much is known about her backstory. What is known, however, is that she is a talented graffiti artist. So talented, in fact, that she earned the title of Ultimate for her artworks. Rumours of her being a fake have been circulating, however, as students of Future's Hope have never seen her artworks.
Rouko Soba, Ultimate Translator
Rouko has had a love for languages since she could speak, and so far can speak 10 languages fluently, is learning 11, and has plans to learn more as the years continue. The language she is best at is Sign Language, and she has been on tv and in media many times, providing translations for anyone and everyone.
Kyung Hye, Ultimate Exchange Student
Kyung grew up in South Korea, in a large family. Often, she would look after her younger siblings, since her parents travelled for work. After hearing the stories and experiences her parents had, she found she wanted to do the same thing. Kyung has travelled far and wide, but surprisingly, being accepted into Future's Hope was the first time she'd set foot in Japan.
The Boys of Future's Hope
Eiji Hikou, Ultimate Airplane Pilot
Surprisingly enough, Eiji Hikou has never flown a plane. He is training, however he is still a year away from actually climbing into a real cockpit. In his training simulations and studies, he is incredibly talented and works hard, but some would say he asks just a few too many questions sometimes. His abilities as a pilot are constantly called into question due to his somewhat childish nature.
Tamotsu Ryuunosuke, Ultimate Cello Player
Tamotsu's music has been thought of as incredibly compelling and gut-wrenching, and he has brought many audiences to tears and smiles with how beautiful his music is. He cares deeply for his art and his friends, and can be frequently found writing music in a notebook he carries everywhere.
Seiichi Shigeru, Ultimate Tailor
Borne as the only child to a rich family of fashion designers and models, Seiichi has been around clothing all his life. He has an obsession with making sure people fit properly into their clothing, which sometimes borders on creepy. However, it can't be said that he does a mediocre job at his tailoring.
Asahi Seiko, Ultimate Parkour Expert
At first seeming like a closed-off and quiet person, Asahi seems like the least likely person to be given the title 'Parkour Expert'. However, once you see him in action, you will quickly realise why he was given the title. Winning various competitions and even teaching parkour classes of his own, Asahi was given the title Parkour Expert even before he was of age to go to Future's Hope.
Michi Katsu, Ultimate Speed Skater
Michi has been on television multiple times for his speed skating, but he hasn't quite made it to the olympics or similar competitions yet. He is never seen without his rollerblades, leading many to wonder if he lives in them or if he wears normal shoes sometimes. He is extremely independent and doesn't like to be interrupted from his practise time.
Yuudai Kenen, Ultimate Theatre Manager
Yuudai's past school has many things to thank him for, most of all being their fame for providing their community with incredible, West End/Broadway quality productions bi-yearly. Though Yuudai attends Future's Hope, he utilises his talents for his previous school and helps them with their shows. The casts of shows regularly speak praise of his organisation and calm nature, and he has many production companies after him and his talent.
Alastor Yashin, Ultimate Croupier
'Croupier'. In modern times this word is similar to the word 'dealer' in gambling, and this is exactly what Alastor does. What makes him a Croupier instead of a Dealer, though, is his secondary talent. He works in his parents casino as the one who stands behind gamblers, holding onto their reserves of money to back them up (which doesn't sound like a talent, but he is adamant that it is). His nature makes him a sought-after dealer, however, as croupiers are quickly going out of business.
Not much is known about this person. The reason they don't have a talent is unknown. Whether they keep it to themself, or they truly were accepted to Future's Hope with no talent is a question many ask but none know the answer to.
