Uduki Arata is the male representative for the month of April. He is an idol under TSUKINO TALENT PRODUCTION, and is a member of the unit Six Gravity. His producer is ChouchouP, and he is voiced by Hosoya Yoshimasa. (Due to Hosoya's "physical condition" problems, koyomi (from Sakura-men) will sing as Arata in place of him since the 4th solo series. Hosoya would still voice for the drama parts despite not singing.[4])
Appearance[]
Arata has collar-length, greyish-black hair, and grey eyes. He tends to keep an expressionless face.[5] He is said to resemble his mother.[6]
Personality[]
Arata is a laid-back, unhurried person who takes things at his own pace, often compared to a cat in a sunny area. He tends to be someone who sits at either end of the spectrum when it comes to working - he can be quite difficult to handle once he loses his enthusiasm, but he displays an overwhelming ability to concentrate and talent when it comes to interests, and goes all the way when having fun.[5][7]
While his lack of expression makes him look unsociable and coldhearted, he does not seem to mind.[5] He has also displayed a great love for Strawberry-flavoured milk on several occasions, such as when asked by Arata what kind of soup he'd prefer, he responded plainly with "Strawberry Milk."
History[]
He comes from a family of four, consisting of him, his parents, and Yuka, his sister, who is two years older than him.
He was scouted together with his childhood friend Satsuki Aoi when they tried to return Kuroda based on the contact address on his collar.[8] He made his debut during his second year in senior high school.[9]
Relationships[]
Satsuki Aoi[]
He and Aoi have been friends since kindergarten and have gone to the same schools ever since. Their families get along very well also, and the two families often go on trips together.
Kisaragi Koi[]
Kisaragi Koi and Uduki Arata end up in fights sometimes, which usually gets stopped by Mutsuki Hajime. Arata describes Koi as "annoying" and "noisy". Koi sometimes gets called "Pink Head" by Arata.
Mutsuki Hajime[]
Arata admires and respects him a lot. He always looks up to Hajime and wishes he could be a person like him someday. The first goal Arata wants to aim in order to be like Hajime is to be as tall as him.
Haduki You[]
Both You and Arata are open-perverts. They can talk about girls and inappropriate things that are not suitable for young ages.
