“Japanese is so hard! But no protein! The cat’s in the hat!”
Citron (シトロン, Shitoron) is a foreign exchange student from overseas, Citron is a man of mystery who suddenly appears and just as suddenly joins the troupe. He's enthusiastic when it comes to studying theater and language alike. He still makes mistakes sometimes, but to dare is human! Though at times it’s hard to tell if he’s telling the truth or not, he brings cheer to the group when they need it
Appearance[]
Citron has dark skin, with medium-length sandy blond hair and blue eyes. His foreign appearance gives him a stark contrast from the rest of company members. He usually wears traditional clothes from his home country, resembling Indian or Pakistani garbs. He also likes to wear golden jewelry with expensive looking gemstones. While Citron himself shows off some skin with his plunging neckline, he tells others to cover up because he saw their appearance as almost naked and scandalous.
Personality[]
Being the mood maker and goofball of the Spring Troupe, he often lightens up the atmosphere with his mistakes in Japanese and the misuse of certain words. The young man is able to sense and relieve the tension of others and can calm them down in many situations. Citron also tends to be a more open and optimistic person. His personality contrasts with Tsuzuru's more serious one, leading to them having a Boke/Tsukkomi type of relationship. Nonetheless, Citron is a person that is hard to evaluate and this causes some sort of distance between him and his colleagues.
