Light Oozora

"Most child actors don't think about their futures, they only think about how cute and tiny they are right now. But no one gives a rat's ass about that stuff when you get older, and you're gonna grow up whether you like it or not, so you better have a plan. That's why I'll succeed. My acting skills are impeccable, and I've got the drive that it takes. I won't fade away as I age, I'm going to be a legendary actor someday. I'm gonna prove that to this crowd, so keep up your pathetic little act while you can and watch me blow you outta the water."

Appearance
Light wears an elementary-school student uniform with a red tie and a light-blue jacket with a white bubble pattern. His pants are short and green. His hair is abundant, giving a great head of hair.

Personality
Light may appear to be a lovely child at first glance, but his true personality is that of someone haughty and self-important to the point of not caring how much his words affect other people. Despite his arrogance, he is pretty intelligent and able to emotionally manipulate people around him to achieve his goals, which is shown when he steals Lily's song to win over the contest judges. However, although he ended up winning, Lily managed to make a more significant impact, shattering Light's pride. Thanks to the conversation he had with Lily afterward, he managed to come to respect what she did and be able to move on, as she reminded him that he still will be able to age as a human child.
