His route in the game has quite a bit of fun with the Wild Mass Guessing trigger on this trope. This actually happens in another route, too. In the same game. Uta Pri likes messing with people.

• Tsundere: Sometimes is this, especially around Natsuki and Haruka in the games. Type A.

• Adaptation Dye-Job: Is fully blonde in the games, but has pink streaks (or at least, the coloring makes it look like such) in the anime.

• First-Name Basis / Friendly Address Privileges: In episode 5, Syo tells Nanami that she can call him 'Syo', as she's been referring to him as 'Kurusu-kun', she immediately starts calling him 'Syo-kun', he himself refers to everyone by their first name.
• Ill Boy: He explains in his episode of the first season that he was a 'weak child' growing up, much like Nanami.
• Muscles Are Meaningless: In the first three seasons, Syo's arms are thin and undefined, however, he's deceivingly strong, come episode 4 of season 4, his biceps have become much more defined -as evident as Yamato's- and he's able to bench press a lot of weight.
• Non-Uniform Uniform: In Season 1, Syo had the most unique style of dress when it came to the Saotome uniform; instead of dress shoes, he wore black combat boots, rolled up his pants to around his knees to rest above his boots, wore a cream-colored sweatshirt instead of a blazer, and wore a fedora at all times in school.
• Security Cling: Does this to Otoya in episode 3 of season 1 while they watch Natsuki bake.

Uta No Prince Sama Characters Birthday

• Affectionate Nickname: Ren calls him 'Ceci'.
• Ambiguously Brown: Justified, as he is from an Arabian country.
• Anime Accent Absence: Unlike Camus (the other foreigner), Cecil speaks Japanese with an accent, and occasionally he stumbles over words and makes mistakes such as reading kanji wrong (he read 'tanabata' as 'nanayuu'). However, the accent and dodgy Japanese are absent in his songs, which is why Camus first thinks Cecil is just affecting the accent to make himself popular.
• The Baby of the Bunch: Is the youngest member of ST☆RISH.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: Likes Haruka a lot because she showed him a lot of love while he was stuck in cat form.
• But Not Too Foreign: Is half-Japanese, half-Arabian.
• Cats Are Magic: Subverted. He got cursed and takes the form of a cat.
• Image Song:
  • In the games, 'DESTINY SONG', 'Jounetsu no Déjà Vu Kiss', and 'Happiness'.
  • In the anime, 'Eternity Love', 'Hoshi no Fantasia', and 'Ai no REINCARNATION.'
    • Season 3 has the group songs 'CODE T.V.U' sung with Syo and Ren, and Season 4 has the duet song 'Visible Elf', sung with Shion.

• Meaningful Name: His last name 'Aijima' contains the kanji for 'love'.
• New Transfer Student: Joins Saotome Academy in his route in the original game. He also joins the Master Course with the rest of the main characters in Debut and the anime's second season.
• No Sense of Personal Space: When it comes to Haruka, much to everyone else's dismay.
• Nom de Mom: He uses his mother's last name.

• The Power of Love: Needs this to break his curse.

• Abusive Parents: Because Cecil was half-Japanese, they (technically his uncle) cursed him to be trapped in the form of a cat and sent him to Japan.
• Arranged Marriage: In All Star, Cecil is set up for an arranged marriage to Camus' Queen which is later stopped, but not before rebellion and a coup d'état start from the Silk Palace/Permafrost residents.
• Long-Lost Relative: He's Otoya's half-brother (by mother Aijima Kotomi), although neither of them find out.
• Parental Abandonment: His uncle didn't approve of him being half-Japanese so he banished him from the country and sent him to Japan. Not before cursing him, of course.

• Black Sheep: Initially. His arc in the anime is about overcoming this.
• I Kiss Your Hand: To Haruka in the anime.
• No Sense of Personal Space: In regards to Shion, which is seen as a Deconstructed example as it causes Shion to get highly anxious.
• Put on a Bus: He suddenly receives a letter from his home country in episode 8 of the second season that makes him go back to Agnapolis... only to come back in the next episode.
• Psychic Link: In the first game he makes a pact with Haruka so she can understand him in when he's in cat form.

One of the Shining ninjas, who were given an assignment to assassinate the princess of the warriors.

• Our Ninjas Are Different: He is a ninja that can incorporate foreign sorcery in his attacks, which is an advantage because the other ninjas don't know how to handle him.
• The Rival: To Masakage.

A pilot that has a special ability. He’s a pacifist and the team’s mood maker.

• But Not Too Foreign: Tokiya mentions a rumor that Cecil has Enemy's blood, and later on Cecil admits that he is not an Earthling.
• Calling Your Attacks: He suggests this to the other members when they were unable to shoot a beam, noting that in an old anime he watched, the main characters would scream out the name of the attack when they used it. Of course, it doesn't work.
• Nice Guy: Sure, Natsuki is one too, but Cecil is the one who's actively trying to get the team to work together despite their differences.

Gameplay[edit]

Uta no Prince-sama is a comedy and romance visual novel in which the player assumes the character of Haruka Nanami. Uta no Prince-sama follows a branching plot line with multiple endings; depending on the decisions that the player makes during the game, the plot will progress in a specific direction.

There are seven main plot lines that the player will have the chance to experience, three which are initially available (four in All Star). Throughout gameplay, the player is given multiple options to choose from, and text progression pauses at these points until a choice is made. To view all plot lines in their entirety, the player must replay the game multiple times and make different choices to change the plot progression. The player must also complete various minigames, which affect the different endings.

Plot[edit]

With dreams of becoming a composer and someday writing a song for her favorite idol, Haruka Nanami enters the Saotome Academy, a prestigious performing arts school. Surrounded by potential idols and producers, Haruka gets to know six of her classmates, who are all competing to become idols. For her project, she must team up with another student as an idol-producer team, and if they are successful, they will join Shining Agency after graduation. In addition, romance is strictly prohibited at their school.

Reception[edit]

Uta No Prince Sama Wikipedia

Uta no Prince-sama was the 13th top selling franchise in Japan in 2017, with a total of ¥1,667,975,801 in estimated sales.^[37] Part of its wide appeal comes from Twitter accounts run by the characters, where fans are able to be updated on the characters' music and merchandise activities, and are in turn treated like real-life celebrities.^[38]

Uta no Prince-sama Repeat was awarded the Best Consumer Game by Dengeki Girl's Style for the Otome Game Awards 2011, while Uta no Prince-sama: Sweet Serenade was ranked #7 in the same category. Syo Kurusu won Best Character, while Tokiya Ichinose ranked #3 and Masato Hijirikawa as #9 in the same category.^[39]

Over 1 million users downloaded Uta no Prince-sama Shining Live upon the first week of its release.^[40]

Rebecca Silverman from Anime News Network praised Uta no Prince-sama: Maji Love 1000%, the anime's first season, for its music and fluid animation, while citing its weaknesses in the 'ridiculous' plot points, poor choice in color, Haruka's character design, and that the characters never 'evolve beyond their types.'^[41] Bamboo Dong from Anime News Network called the series 'entertaining', but felt the character designs made the characters look more like adults instead of high school students and that adapting from the original video game resulted in the 'archetypal' characters having 'jerky' character development.^[42] The voice actors for STARISH won the award for Best Musical Performance at the 6th Seiyu Awards, while Mamoru Miyano won the award for Best Actor in Supporting Roles.^[43]

List Of Uta Prince Sama Characters

Regarding the series' fourth season, Uta no Prince-sama: Maji Love Legend Star, Silverman praised the music and character development, but felt that the show became oversaturated with 'too many characters', as well as the plot and animation going 'downhill.'^[44]Uta no Prince-sama has also been linked to the Odagiri effect, as seen in the later anime series where Haruka's role has been increasingly diminished in favor of the relationships between the male characters.^[45]
