Kyoko Mogami

Kyōko Mogami is currently a member of the Love Me Section with Kanae Kotonami and Chiori Amamiya. She starred in the hit drama series, Dark Moon as the infamous Mio Hongo and is currently starring in the drama series, Box "R" as Natsu Kitazawa. Her joyful personality covers a hidden past. She used to dedicate her life to the happiness of her childhood companion, only friend and crush Sho Fuwa. But when Kyoko discovers Sho asked her to come to Tokyo, not because he liked her but because he knew he could use her as a maid, her angry and vengeful spirits escape her "Pandora's Box." She vows to get her revenge. Sho says that the only way she can reach him is by going into showbiz. Thus, she joins Sho's rival agency LME, with only one goal in mind: Revenge! Before Kyoko found out that Sho Fuwa was only using her to do house-maid work, Kyoko had long black hair. Because she was working three-part time jobs due to pay for Sho's expensive tastes, her hair was usually up in a pony tail, but it was unkempt and wavy whenever her hair was down. Early on, she did not consider her appearance to be more important than supporting Sho. Though she longed to follow make-up and fashion trends like other teenage girls, she pretended that not to care material items, and would rarely buy anything for herself other than the 'Sho Fuwa' merchandise. Before working at LME, she wore her uniform from her part time job or casual clothing she previously owned before coming to Tokyo. After her makeover, she cuts her hair to chin-length, dyed it a chestnut color and she slightly updated her clothing, buying a new skirt and jacket. Usually, she wears her bright pink Love Me jumpsuit while at LME, or on a Love Me Department job. When she has work to do, she wears a top with a white jacket paired with skirt and boots. She is seen always using a bag given to her by Taisho's wife. Kyoko's appearance normally changes drastically for each of her roles. Some mock her by claiming her onscreen beauty is due to computer graphics and make-up, and many say that she looks much different in her roles than how she is in real life, to the point that she becomes unrecognizable, even to the people that personally know her. Konoe, the director of Tragic Marker, who knew the Heel siblings, failed to recognize Setsuka as being played by the same actress who played Mio, until both Ren and Kyoko explained it to him. Her appearance also changed drastically during the Dark Moon party,. Kyoko wore a floor-length dress and had long extensions put into her hair. Even during her the audition for the role of Momiji, all the candidates failed to recognize Kyoko and considered her to be a newbie. It was not until Kyoko's answer to Kimiko's manager that many showed a surprised reaction and began to guess who she really is. Kimiko and her manager, however, were still in dark. Kyoko is a kind and hardworking girl who always puts others before her. For most of her life, she lived to please others. She is shown to be very clever academically; she manages to pass the High School entrance exam with the highest grades, 100%. However, she is a little bit dense and naive about some things. She believes in fairies and always dreamed of her "prince charming" (which was Sho) being her husband before he broke her heart. Due to negative experiences in her childhood, she constantly devalues her own worth. Kyoko is a perfectionist, once she does something, she won't stop until she feels that it's 'perfect'. As a sixteen year old she was hard working, having three jobs at once to support Sho. Although she is usually frugal, Kyoko obsessed over Sho and felt compelled to buy all of his merchandise. When she realized Sho's betrayal and her little vengeful demons were released, Kyoko became very quick to anger when his name was mentioned, although most people believe that this is because she's his fan. Kyoko is initially conservative; she doesn't like seeing people without their top on, even the people who are close to her, like Sho or any gestures relating to that. But, she became less conservative for the sake of acting, in order to reach her goal to be Japan's top actress and to be more famous than Sho. The most important change in Kyoko is that she has lost the ability to love after Sho's betrayal. Although she can still feel the love for a friend (such as Kanae), she ruthlessly squashes any romantic urges. She remains completely oblivious to Ren's affections despite others (such as Yukihito and Kanae) pointing it out. She remains firm in her belief that no one could possible be romantically interested in her, and that love is "a prelude to despair and disaster". When putting her mind and energy to acting, she can become any character she wants, and the personality can stick with her even outside of the role, as shown when she plays Mio. She can also pull off heartless facial expressions even when she isn't in character in hopes to deter someone. Kyoko shows that she has an incredible talent for acting, with Chiori even referring to her as "butterfly" or "fairy" as her talents are so fantastic. Kyoko gradually becomes more absorbed in acting as a passion and gets conflicted over what she wants, revenge against Sho, respect from Ren or an acting career. She has a strong sense of determination and caring which she applies in her work and life.
