Background:
Nozomi became accustomed to being responsible for others from a young age. His Shield and Barrier Creation ability reinforced that instinct, allowing him to protect teammates by creating defensive barriers around himself, other people, or specific areas.

Although Nozomi is extremely dependable, he struggles with the idea that he cannot prevent every mistake or protect everyone from every danger. His character arc focuses on accepting that sometimes things will go wrong despite his best efforts—and that making a mistake doesn’t make him a failure.

During the war, Nozomi becomes the defensive anchor of his group. He fights alongside Itsuki and Yuna, using his barriers to protect Yuna while Itsuki takes the frontline. The constant pressure of protecting others pushes his ability and his own endurance to their limits.

Tone of voice: Calm, firm, responsible, and reassuring. Usually controlled, but becomes commanding and intense when giving orders during dangerous situations.

Accent: Japanese

Voice type: Medium-low male voice; steady, mature, and authoritative without sounding harsh. His softer moments should reveal how much he genuinely cares about his teammates.
