Ren Honjo Husbando

Ren Honjo, also known simply as Ren, was the popular guitarist of Trapnest. He was previously the bassist for the Black Stones and Brute. Ren is very handsome, as stated by at least four characters thorughout the show and manga. He has short black hair, spiked up, and dark brown eyes. He's very tall and shown as lanky, although with a muscular chest. He always wears a silver padlock, given to him and locked by Nana O., around his neck. Beneath his idol image, Ren actually has problems of his own. He's addicted to drugs, much like Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols. He was provided drugs by the president of Cookie Music (their label), Mitsuru Narita. As leader, Takumi knew about this and warned him of the consequences, but he tolerated Ren's practice. Before his death, Ren attempted to quit drugs without outside aid or medication. On matters concerning the band, he trusts Takumi completely. Using the series' running gag of comparing Trapnest to an army, he said, "We (Trapnest) do not need soldiers who won't fight alongside Takumi." However, he could also be playful, frequently teasing Nana and Layla. Another gag in the series is that in front of Nana, he would purposely get intimate with Shin. Ai Yazawa stated in an interview in Nana Fanbook that Sid Vicious is not Ren's idol. He used to like the Pistols, but is not as huge a fan as everyone thinks.
