SideM Biography
Reason for Becoming an Idol: Through singing, I want to convey to children that "You're not alone."
Personal Motto: Trust is a unique bond between friends.
Comments for the Future: I want to save lost children through the power of song. When they're feeling lonely or uneasy, if I can support them through singing...I know it's an outrageous dream, but I want to try hard to accomplish it.
Comments about Unit Members: For me, my friends are like family. Shingen is a reliable older brother, and Ryuu is a little brother who's always getting into antics...Put simply, we're like three brothers. I've never said it directly, but they're precious people who I won't let anyone hurt.

THE iDOLM@STER POPLINKS Profile Quote
I'm Hideo Akuno. 23 years old. What's up? My face is scary? Ah...I heard that there is a new project. I'm so nervous... I didn't mean to glare at you, you know.
Character Description and Personality
Hideo is a nice guy who was born with an unfortunately mean look to his face. He's very self-conscious about it and often feels the need to apologize. His ex-job was a police officer, though when on duty he was often mistaken as a criminal. Hideo first realized he wanted to be an idol after an incident while on the job. A young boy got accused of shoplifting. The father wouldn't let the child defend himself and scolded him hardly. This made him realize that the adults are at fault for giving up on their children and not properly teaching them. He wants to save these lost children through the power of song. He wants to be there for the children when they’re feeling lonely or uneasy. Alas, due to his sinister look, most children are afraid of him, and he hasn’t gotten too far. He hopes his idol career will soften his appearance. Along with supporting children, he also hopes to always be there for his teammates, Ryu and Seiji. While he isn’t too good with people in general, he’s very good with animals. He loves how they judge you based on how you act, as opposed to how you look. He’s very good at training police dogs and even has some as pets for himself. Hideo’s favorite food is pancakes, which he frequently talks about. He often invites others to join him in going to his favorite pancake place, to show them how great they are. Besides Seiji and Ryu, he’s also good friends with Haruna Wakazato and Makio Uzuki, ever since the White Day Live. Together they formed a Sweet Tooth Alliance, in which he’s the president of.
