Normal[]

Shunza is considered to be very wise and poetic, often spouting poetry that makes no sense to anyone listening in, excluding Aine and Mio. He is shown to be quite perceptive, as he can sense untapped potential within certain individuals, and was the only one to figure out the true meaning of the World Aikatsu! Cup before it was publicly revealed.

As Wild Quadrant[]

Under the mantle of Wild Quadrant however, Shunza shows a much more flamboyant and whimsical side of himself as he gives Aine, Mio, Maika and Ema guidelines on how to aim for worth of the 'Best Friends' name.

Background[]

Shunza was 8 years old while his younger brother Raito was just a newborn when his parents died in a car crash, his two older brothers returned to Fiji soon thereafter. Following their deaths, he was taken in by Chiharu, who happened to be near the site of the car crash that his parents died in. At some point later on in his life, Shunza became part of the staff of Production Room No.3 at Star Harmony Academy.
