Shikanoin Heizou (鹿野院平蔵 Shikanoin Heizou)
Heizou Shikanoin
Shikanoin Heizou is a Japanese-born singer and J-Pop idol based in America. He is an alumnus of Teyvat Academy, where he lived and studied in the Inazuma Dorm and Class. While well-known for his solo idol status, he is most commonly known for being a member of world-famous band, 5WIRL (read as SWIRL) - formerly known as 4NEMO (read as ANEMO) prior to Heizou's addition to the group. It has been rumoured that he has some romantic interest in his fellow bandmate and J-Pop idol, Kaedehara Kazuha - but seemingly hasn't made a move out of respect for Kazuha's relationship with Aether - particularly as Aether and Kazuha were already engaged by the time Heizou joined the group.
Pre-Roleplay
Early Life
Shikanoin Heizou was born in Nemuro-shi in the Nemuro subprefecture of the Hokkaido region of Japan. Unlike his bandmates, he does not have a noble heritage, although his family did come from a decent amount of money. His family have a long history of being a part of the law enforcement, or otherwise being private detectives. When he was eleven, he was accepted into Teyvat Academy due to his athletic talents, where he was placed in the Inazuma Dorm and Clsss. He was in the same class as Kaedehara Kazuha, Kamisato Ayaka, and Naganohara Yoimiya, and was in the same year as Aether Collins, Albedo Kreideprinz, Kaeya Alberich-Ragnvindr, and Lumine Collins from the Mondstadt Class and Dorm. Due to his athletic abilities, he quickly became a part of the Inazuma Varsity Teams, specifically the sub-unit, the Tenryou Commission - although the sport he competed in was unknown.During Roleplay
Education at Teyvat Academy
When Venti Frei started the band 4NEMO in September 2025, Heizou quickly became a fan of theirs - although, at the time, they were only a trio made up of Venti, Kazuha, and Mondstadt Dorm student two years above Heizou, Jean Gunnhildr. Heizou was particularly a fan of Jean's voice, and was sad when she left the band after graduating. However, he was even more so a fan of the student who replaced Jean as the lead singer - Aether Collins. Heizou graduated in July 2029 alongside Aether, Kazuha, Albedo, Kaeya, Lumine, Ayaka, and Yoimiya. It is unknown exactly what he did after graduating. But, based on the fact that Venti approached him with an offer to join 4NEMO because of Heizou's good looks and musical skills, it is possible that he was also active in the music industry as well.2036
In November 2036, 4NEMO went on their comeback tour after being on hiatus for over a year. During the first concert of their comeback tour, Venti announced to their fans and the public that the band would be rebranded to 5WIRL, due to the band now having a fifth member. Venti then introduced Heizou as this fifth member and Heizou made his official debut as the drummer of the band.
