Kyoko Mogami (最上 キョーコ)
Kyoko's life has always known only one aim-- to please others. Be it her mother who didn't care much for her, or Sho's family, who took her in after she was abandoned. Suddenly, childhood friend Sho asks country bumpkin Kyoko if she wants to go to the city with him. He aims to be a big star and wishes for her support. When he commits an unthinkable crime to Kyoko's frail self-esteem, he awakens another side in her.
She changes from being an innocent girl to a woman full of the desire of revenge towards the man that used her like a stepping stone; but she didn't know that, in her way to making him suffer and cry at her feet, she would begin a whole new life into the show business and find herself having a great talent and love towards acting.
Now Kyoko is some sort of cute, joyful, and full-of-purpose woman...while also being a "woman who holds grudges" and acts in some crazy and unexpected ways, although she is still not able to recognize her own value and talent, and even less the way other people see her.
Ren Tsuruga
Ren is, in outward appearances, an extremely nice and polite star. However, he shows his true self whenever he deals with Kyōko. Although at times teasing, he harbors an unrequited love for Kyōko. As the story progresses, flashbacks reveal a past with Kyōko when she was smaller, however, Kyōko is still unaware of this. She cannot reconcile the sweet "fairy-prince Corn" with Ren's current personality. Interestingly, at the age of twenty, Ren has lived a large portion of his life in America. In fact, he began his acting career in the US albeit disastrously. Although he gained experience, he was fired so often that he has lost count in contrast to the staunch and disciplined actor he is today. Fortunately, his past in America is unknown to the public as Tsuruga Ren is only a stage name. Although there are hints of a dark past, his earlier years are shrouded in mystery. However, recent chapters imply that his name was originally Kuon.
