Kugimiya Masami shows up as Tatara Fujita's rival—though he and Tatara occasionally work together too. His dancing style is distinctly old-school: elegant, formal, and grounded in traditional technique. There's a real beauty to how he moves, something pure about his approach that stands out.
As a leader, Masami gets the job done despite having a rough edge with the people who follow him. Underneath his composed exterior though, he's wrestling with a lot. He's fundamentally a pessimist with a fragile core, and fans often note the gap between his calm, controlled presentation and what's actually going on underneath—he overthinks things, gets anxious, deals with insecurity, and has a short fuse he's constantly managing. It's that tension between his put-together image and his vulnerable, sensitive nature that makes his character interesting.
