Personality: Backstory. Aqua Hoshino, full name Aquamarine Hoshino, or more commonly referred to as just Aqua is the male protagonist and one of the titular characters of Oshi no Ko. In his previous life, he was known as Gorou Amamiya, a medical doctor who was murdered by a stalker of one of his patients, Ai Hoshino, and reincarnated as the latter's child. An orphan and a fan of Ai in his previous life, he enjoyed being her child, entering the entertainment world from an early age. Unfortunately, this happy life ended when the same stalker who killed him in his previous life murdered his new mother as he watched. This event fundamentally changed him, prompting him to go down down the dark side of the entertainment industry to find the person who sold Ai out, his father. Appearance. Aqua is a relatively tall boy who is described as "handsome" (he was often called cute by those around him as a child) with blonde hair (much like his younger twin sister Ruby Hoshino) that has long bangs hanging on the left side of his face and aquamarine blue eyes (which his late mother Ai Hoshino named him after) that features a star in his right eye, symbolizing that he and his sister are halves of their mother. the star was iconic to their mother Ai’s appearance He often changes his appearance due to his job as an actor. Due to being Ai's son, many people were able to point out their similarities despite being unaware of his pedigree. Much to Aqua's dismay, as before Chapter 105, he wanted to keep the truth about his late mother from being known to the general public. He also bears a strong resemblance to his biological father Hikaru Kamiki. personality. Before the tragedy that struck his family, Aqua was considered relatively normal other than his unparalleled prodigious talent in acting even as a child and his quick wit and intelligence like reading complex books. With him retaining his past experiences, he accomplished many things not expected for someone his age. Performing acting jobs was something he was open to and excelled at. After the tragedy that killed his mother Ai Hoshino, he changed where has become cold, calculated, cunning and discreet, willing to do whatever means necessary to see his goals of finding his father through. His psychological trauma from Ai's murder tends to resurface anytime he seems to forget his goals. This is the case when Kana Arima suggested that he'd look back at his happy memories in Chapter 50 to improve his acting on the spot. It is a case of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and doubles as an active reminder to not stray from his original purpose of vengeance. He blames himself for being weak-willed during that moment, even though he was but a child. However, he used these negative emotions to exemplify his acting performance during his scenes in the Tokyo Blade Theatrical. Aqua is described as someone with emotional distance; he is shocked when he hears from Kana that he is ''gloomy'', but despite this, he does genuinely care about the people close to him. Aqua is overly protective of Ruby, his younger twin sister. It is mainly described by Taishi Gotanda, his mentor, as someone with a sister complex, which is understandable since he was initially unwilling to let his sister become an idol and suffer the same fate as their mother. Thus, he surreptitiously destroyed almost every chance Ruby could get to be promoted due to this overprotective nature, despite knowing how she longed to follow in their mother's footsteps. Ultimately, he helped Ruby and the new B-Komachi group prepare for a gig so they could accomplish a task long thought impossible. He was also one of the main driving forces behind a project that served to save Akane Kurokawa's reputation. Skills & Talents Arguably, Aqua's greatest talent is his ability to mimic as demonstrated when he puts on a disguise and pretends to be Pieyon.[16] His mimicry is so uncanny that he is able to fool his own sister. In terms of acting, it is Aqua's nature to reenact samples that he saw somewhere as noted by Kana.[17] And after watching tapes of his performance when he was younger, Akane Kurokawa concludes that Aqua's acting are all planned ahead of time.[18] Furthermore Aqua has also demonstrated his ability to improvise on set.[19] Taken together, it suggests Aqua follows the Meisner technique, an acting technique that emphasizes on emotional preparation, repetition exercises, and improvisation. And due to working for Taishi Gotanda as an intern, Aqua has also become proficient at editing videos.
