Etymology[]
History[]
In middle school, Kei was part of the basketball club with Mitsuru. He felt inferior compared to Mitsuru who surpassed him. However, one day, he found Mitsuru brutally injured, laying on the ground after Mitsuru was strangled by an evil dancer, leading to Mitsuru's hospitalization. Kei was accepted as a regular and eventually surpassed Mitsuru.
When Kei encounters Maito during the day, Kei mistakes Maito for coming to see Mitsuru. Maito shouts he is wrong and says he got the wrong room, before Maito quickly gives him the bouquet out of nowhere and runs away. Mitsuru calls for the dismayed Kei, but Kei is worried because Mitsuru is injured and needs to rest. Mitsuru argues he is just going for a walk. He learns about the bouquet as well, but regardless, he shows gratitude for being Kei's friend. They playfully banter. Mitsuru admits Kei doesn't have to see him everyday while working on the tournament, but Kei had permission from Sasana. They high five before Mitsuru goes inside to put the bouquet in a vase. Kei is left feeling rather personal about the bouquet.
Later, after his PE class, his basketball suddenly hits Gaku. Kei apologizes and both talk about how Kei's PE class went. However, Mitsuru can't stay as he has to go to a rehabilitation session at the hospital. Before Kei can leave, Gaku asks if Kei was arguing with Mitsuru. Kei is confused, even silent about this. Hayato tries comforting him. Kei reveals what happened to Mitsuru. Kei adds how Mitsuru was the ace of their basketball team in middle school and was acknowledged when they were freshman. Once Kei leaves, Gaku waves to him. Kei is eventually corrupted by Kazuho at some point after this. Gaku and Hayato misinterpret Kei, whose identity is hidden beneath a veil when he is corrupted, as the general Pas De Deux mentioned looking for.
At the end of the day, when Kazuho finds Mitsuru's source of desperation and his lack of envy, he reveals Kei beneath the veil, and corrupts Mitsuru as Desparade's loyal follower. Mitsuru and Kei later ambush and knock out Gaku and Hayato. They later fight one another under Choreographer's control, but after Hayato persuades Kei to be honest, he overcomes his envy and makes amends with Mitsuru and frees himself from Choreographer. He embraces Mitsuru. Choreographer finds this nonsense and the two get thrown to the side. They are soon evacuated by Pas De Deux.
A few months later, the tournament is about to begin. Kei meets Pas De Deux, who is suspicious of his looks. Pas De Deux simply defines himself as "Pas De Deux".
