Hideyuki Kenn is the producer of STARLOSES and one of the most influential people in Daido Hojo's former career. At first, Hideyuki appeared to be a successful producer who simply demanded perfection from his musicians. Behind the scenes, however, he repeatedly undermined Daido's confidence and exploited his vulnerabilities. Eventually, Daido was removed from STARLOSES after their increasingly bitter conflict, leaving him questioning whether he still had any value as a musician. Years later, Hideyuki resurfaces as the Space Beast crisis begins. His return forces Daido to confront the past he tried to leave behind. But Hideyuki knows more about the returning Space Beasts than he should. The deeper Daido investigates, the clearer it becomes that STARLOSES' collapse wasn't merely a personal conflict. Something had been manipulating events from behind the scenes. And Hideyuki may have been involved from the very beginning.
