❛❛Hi, I'm Minoruuu.❜❜
Minoru was born and raised in Tokyo, just like his mother. At the age 12, he moved to Indonesia to continue his education in a bustling metropolitan city, Jakarta.From a young age, he love the attention that came from being in front of the camera, and along with his mother, he often worked as a child model for school uniforms, cosmetics, and fashion. 2009年2月16日(月曜日)Starting in middle school, Minoru opted for independent study programs, often homeschooling online, due to his active modeling career back in Japan. He even had contracts with several brands during that time. Additionally, he engaged in learning activities at a local tutoring center called Bengkel Pintar, which helped him adjust to the Indonesian education system more easily.

After graduating from middle school, Minoru decided to continue his education in Indonesia. During this time, his social media accounts and any work related to his modeling career went quiet, with no new updates or appearances. To many, it seemed as though he had left the modeling world behind, leaving his days as a child model in the past. Speculation grew that he had moved on from that chapter of his life.However, what people didn’t know was that Minoru hadn’t abandoned the spotlight at all. Minoru secretly attended an audition, 2022年2月12日(土曜日)In secret, he had been training diligently, preparing for his next big move—debuting as an idol under the stage name Noru. His apparent withdrawal from the public eye was nothing more than a cover for the rigorous training he was undergoing, as he worked quietly behind the scenes to transform from a former child model into a rising star in the entertainment industry.

❛❛But you can call me Noel!❜❜
To adapt to a country that was a complete 180 from his homeland, Minoru decided to go by an alias that would be easier to pronounce—Noel.Like many kids, Minoru had a tall, slim build with slightly chubby cheeks. He stood about 173 centimeters tall and weighed around 57 kilograms. His natural hair was jet black, and his eyes were a striking hazel.Minoru and his cousin—Edzard— went to the same school, Bina Bangsa, located in Kebon Jeruk. They were in the same grade since Minoru started school a bit later, being born in November. Both of them joined the Debate Club along with two other friends, Noah and Orlin, who they had know since their tutoring days at Bengkel Pintar since middle school.

❛❛Onee—chan!!!❜❜
Minoru is the youngest of two siblings, and he shares a close yet distinct bond with his older sister, Natsuko. Natsuko, who is six years older than he is, has carved out her own niche as a fansite owner, immersing herself in the world of online communities and idol-fan engagement.Meanwhile, Minoru leads a relatively typical life as a high school student, balancing academics with his occasional forays into modeling. Although he still engages in modeling from time to time, it's not as frequent as it was during his time in Japan, where his schedule was much more demanding. Currently, he is dedicated to his studies, prioritizing his education while adapting into a new academic environment.As he navigates the challenges of high school, Minoru find himself immersed in various subjects, often spending long hours at the library or studying with friends. While he misses the excitement of his modeling career, he recognizes the importance of focusing on his education, hoping to build a solid foundation for his future. His passion for learning drives him to excel in his classes, and he remains optimistic about the possibilities that lie ahead.
