Jin Kisaragi

Jin Kisaragi (如月 仁 Kisaragi Jin) is a producer known for picking new actors who later become hit stars.

Personality
Kisaragi has an easygoing personality, but when it comes to his job as a producer, he can become quite serious.

However, he is also known to hit on and sexually harass those whom he finds attractive, as seen with Ryouma Ichijou, Izumi Sena and Rei Sagara. This is the primary reason Ryouma greatly dislikes him, revealing how he endured such harassment from him and why he no longer wished to work with him again.

Background
In the past, Kisaragi produced the drama series Last High School, after which Ryouma Ichijou became famous. However, he also sexually harassed Ryouma (and possibly other actors), causing the latter's hatred of him.

Plot
After seeing an ad featuring Izumi Sena, Kisaragi decides to cast him as a leading role in his new drama series, As the Master Commands. Upon meeting Izumi in person, Kisaragi begins to molest him, only for Ryouma Ichijou to intervene. As the contracts have already been finalized, it's too late for Izumi to renege, so Ryouma, who had earlier refused to do so, declares that he too will star in the drama, much to Kisaragi's delight.

Once production begins, Izumi finds his role overwhelming (especially without Ryouma present), so Kisaragi decides to hypnotize him to calm his nerves, which proves successful. However, Izumi's progress also puts a strain on his relationship with Ryouma, threatening production, causing Kisaragi to also hypnotize Ryouma to "forget his troubles," which in turn causes Ryouma to forget about Izumi.

As production continues, Kisaragi goes to great lengths to make sure that Izumi doesn't undo the effects Ryouma's hypnotism, even to the extent of telling Ryouma's manager to block Izumi's calls and telling Ryouma that a declaration of love from Izumi (dressed at the time as his role's female personality) was him getting into character.

On the day of shooting the final scene, Kisaragi witnesses Ryouma and Izumi fall over the cliff, and he has to prevent a frantic Rei Sagara from jumping after them. A storm hits, and Kisaragi and the crew are forced to take cover and call off the search for the night. He also tries to reassure Rei, only to be disappointed when Izumi's older brother Shougo Sena shows up, clearly quite close with Rei.

The next morning, Kisaragi is asked by Ryouma (who along with Izumi was rescued successfully) to hypnotize him into remembering Izumi again. Kisaragi attempts this several times, but without success. He's then amazed when Shougo's head chop undoes the prior hypnotism and, to keep Shougo from interfering in the couple's reconciliation, takes a passed-out Rei out of the room.

When shooting resumes, Kisaragi notices that Ryouma is nervous again and gives him a pep talk, calling him "[his] greatest masterpiece", after which Ryouma reluctantly thanks him. Kisaragi then oversees a successful shoot.
