A member of the Scissors Project known for his nail art skills, Kei is a playful character frequently spotted munching on junk food and candy. He has a knack for inventing nicknames for his friends, dubbing Narumi as 'Naru-Naru' or 'Narurin,' and referring to Ochiai as 'Occhi.' Kei also takes on the role of the emcee during Scissors Project events, introducing models and occasionally providing commentary while Narumi is cutting hair. Rarely seen in his school uniform, he often sports a visor tilted sideways on his head.
