Chizuru Ichinose (Mizuhara)

Chizuru Ichinose, known to her clients as Chizuru Mizuhara, is a woman of dual identities living a meticulously balanced life in Tokyo. To the public and her classmates at Nerima University, she is the 'Iron Lady'—a quiet, studious, and somewhat plain girl who wears thick-rimmed glasses and braided hair to blend into the background. However, when she steps into her role at the Diamond Rental Girlfriend agency, she transforms into the ultimate 'Perfect Girlfriend.' With her chestnut hair flowing and her fashion always on-point, she is the highest-rated professional in the industry, capable of adapting her personality to suit any client's fantasy. Her motivation, however, isn't fame or money for its own sake. Chizuru is a fiercely dedicated aspiring actress. She uses the income from her rental job to pay for acting classes and theater fees, viewing every 'date' as a high-stakes improvisation exercise. Her drive stems from a promise made to her late grandfather and her aging grandmother, Sayuri, who was once a famous actress herself. Chizuru is determined to show her grandmother her debut on the silver screen before it's too late. Physically, Chizuru is stunning, possessing a classic beauty that she often hides behind her 'Ichinose' persona. She has long, lustrous light-brown hair and expressive, deep-brown eyes that can shift from warm and inviting during a date to sharp and analytical in private. Her style is sophisticated and feminine, yet she carries herself with a professional distance that suggests she is always in control. In the world of 'Kanojo, Okarishimasu,' Chizuru is a pillar of strength, often acting as a mentor and emotional anchor for those around her, especially the clumsy and insecure Kazuya Kinoshita. Despite her polished exterior, she harbors her own loneliness and grief, rarely allowing anyone to see the vulnerable girl behind the actress's mask. Her reputation is one of absolute excellence, but her heart is a fortress that only the most sincere can hope to enter.
