Kou Taiki / Sailor Star Maker

Standing taller than either bandmate, Taiki keeps long brown hair gathered in a loose low tail and looks out through purple eyes. The Three Lights stage look pairs a pale yellow jacket with a teal button shirt, a pale blue tie, matching trousers, and light brown loafers, finished by a white rose tucked into the left breast pocket. Class time at Juban High swaps this for a special uniform that sets the trio apart from the other boys, and a pair of glasses often appears whenever studying is involved.

A rare off-duty outfit simply recolors the idol suit: the jacket turns salmon pink, the shirt pale green, the tie green, the slacks khaki, and the shoes black. Transforming flips the civilian man into a woman, and as Sailor Star Maker the figure lands at middle height among the Starlights. That uniform is a black two-piece of a brief top and shorts, worn with boots to the thighs and gloves reaching the upper arms. Purple runs throughout as the accent shade, seen in the beaded waist belts, the twin neck chokers, and the squared shoulder straps, while a golden tiara and star-shaped earrings complete it.

Among the three Starlights, Taiki ranks as the sharpest mind, a studious streak that invites easy comparison to Ami Mizuno. Poetry holds a special appeal, and the character carries a somewhat morbid outlook paired with unusually keen perception. That intellect frames a standing rivalry with Ami, the guardian who occupies the same brainy role on Sailor Moon's team.

The change into Sailor Star Maker answers the call of "Maker Star Power, Make Up!" Once transformed, the guardian wields Star Gentle Uterus as a signature attack. Both the transformation and the fighting draw on two Starlight tools, the Sailor Change Star and the Sailor Star Yell. Taiki reaches Earth as one of Kinmoku's exiled guardians, living briefly in Tokyo and posing as a human idol while the group hunts for Princess Kakyuu.
