From Bless

About Hikaru Oya
Hikaru Oya is the star at the centre of Bless's fashion world: a hugely successful model who is also a top makeup artist, and one of the founders of Mirror, the school for aspiring makeup artists. He is the person Aia Udagawa wants to become, and he has been watching Aia's potential for longer than Aia knows.
Appearance
Hikaru is a very tall man, 190 cm, with the polished presence of a working top model. His official art carries the ease of someone completely at home in front of cameras and mirrors alike, which is rather the point of him: he is what the finished version of Aia's dream looks like.
Personality
Hikaru comes across as assured and larger than life, a celebrity in his field who built a school instead of just enjoying the fame. He spots talent early and nurtures it on his own terms. For his students, and especially for Akiharu, who idolises him, Oya is half mentor and half mountain to climb.
Background & Story
Hikaru built his career on both sides of the camera, as a model and as a makeup artist, until he was one of the best known names in the business. Then he co founded Mirror, a school to train the next generation of makeup artists. He is an alumnus of the same high school world Aia and Jun come from, he has a close connection to Aia, and he pushed Aia toward joining Mirror, where the real training begins.
Powers & Abilities
- Model and makeup artist: Hikaru is a rare double: a top model who is also a top makeup artist. He understands exactly what makeup has to do on a face, on camera and on a runway, because he has stood in every position around it.
- Mirror's founder: As one of Mirror's founders, Hikaru sets the standard the school teaches to. His eye for potential students, including Aia, shapes who gets trained and how.
Key Relationships
- Aia Udagawa: The former model Hikaru has been watching. Oya is Aia's idol, his connection to the school, and the person who pushes him to take his makeup dream seriously.
- Akiharu Nakano: Mirror's most skilled student, who admires Hikaru completely and trains toward his standard.
