★ "On the outside, he looks unimpressed. But on the inside... he's unimpressed." ★ Yuzuru Sato. Due to the absence of the z in Hangul, this sometimes comes out as "Yujuru Sato."
★ Age: 20
★ Years spent training: 5 years overseas (4 at AS ent.)
★ Face Claim: Shori Sato
★ Nationality: Japanese
★ Place of Birth: Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan
★ Area(s) of Expertise: Dancing, all kinds. Has dabbled in choreography.
★ Background: Japan born and raised until the age of fifteen, Yuzuru's story is fairly run-of-the-mill. He was raised mostly by his mother and stepfather, who he regards as more of a father than his birth father was, in one of the bigger cities in the Ishikawa prefecture. He lived a comfortable life in his youth, learning performance arts from his stepfather, a former dancer, and wasn't deprived of any love from his step-sisters and mother.
Of course, having been brought up a former dancer with various dancer friends has many advantages to the aspiring idol, and Yuzuru is no different. His talents, fostered at a young age by watching performances with his family, led him to fall in love with the art and pursue the lifestyle of a dancer. Given the thousands of hours spent practicing any type of dance Yuzuru could get classes for, it was not a surprise when somebody noticed his hard work. After watching Yuzuru during dance practice, an agent from overseas offered him their card. Thus spurred Yuzuru's move to Korea.
Making the decision to move to Korea was the most difficult thing Yuzuru had ever done, but he persevered. Everything from overcoming the language barrier, dancing on the streets for money, and working 9-5 at a grocery store were acts done in the name of his love for dance. Even after the agency that scouted him went under, Yuzuru made a name for himself as a backup dancer for many well-known performers, and was soon picked up by AS Entertainment, where he has trained under for four years now.
He is currently enrolled in Seoul National University and holds down a job at a nearby restaurant. Right now, he's not interested in love--other than his love for dancing, that is. Has long phone calls with his family on Fridays and misses them more than he'd like to admit.
★ Personality: In the world of K-pop, Yuzuru has learned many things: to keep his head down. To not cause trouble. To work hard. The competitive nature of many trainees has taught him to not stir up the pot for the sake of recognition, but to show what you can do when it counts. This attitude makes him come off as cold and serious, but he's not opposed to friendships--in fact, in many cases, a good friend can make a big difference when you're kicked out onto the streets--but he'd much rather keep to himself. It makes things easier when your best friend is picked for debut instead of you.
On stage, he is passionate about his work and his dancing makes this obvious--every move is precise, and Yuzuru frequently incorporates freestyle dance moves into choreographed routines. This makes him stand out of the crowd, but not enough to be accused of "showing off." He doesn't like being accused unfairly and will stand up for himself, but only in the worst of situations. He's smart about who he confronts and is good at avoiding the worst case scenario--unless, for some reason, you find where it hurts the most.
