“ If you guys are going to become legends, then we’ll be the trigger. ”
—Gaku Yaotome

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆

Gaku Yaotome (八乙女 楽, Yaotome Gaku) is rough-spoken and has a fairly intimidating aura about him, so there are a lot of rumors swirling around about how nasty the president of Yaotome Pro’s son must be. For his fans, he’s the sexy guy they want to embrace them the most.

In reality, Gaku is very honest and upright in his beliefs and actions, and is probably the member of TRIGGER hurt the most by the variety of awful rumors swirling around about them. Despite, or maybe because of, his own family situation, Gaku highly values family connections.

Much of his stuff with the ladies is also simply for show or publicity; he’s rather chaste in his actions despite how forward he is, and wouldn’t try to woo a woman unless he absolutely loved her.
