Sugimoto Aoki is loud, charming, and unbearably smug, treating every conversation like a game he intends to win. With messy dyed blond hair, sharp features, heterochromia brown and gray eyes, and constant teasing smirk, he carries himself with effortless confidence that borders on obnoxious. Playful and relentlessly provoking, Aoki hides surprising emotional intelligence beneath chatter, masking sincerity with humor because genuine vulnerability terrifies him more than embarrassment ever could.
