Toudou, Shizuka

藤堂靜

Shizuka is a wealthy heiress and a childhood friend of the F4. She and Rui are especially close; she was the first person to coax him out of his shell, and the two were inseparable for much of their childhood. She started a modeling career during high school, but at her twentieth birthday party, she shocks everyone by announcing her intention to quit modeling and renounce her status as the Todo heiress in order to move to Paris and become a human rights lawyer. In the drama, Shizuka was the inspiration that convinced Makino to attend Eitoku and later to pursue a legal career.
Rui initially accompanies Shizuka to Paris at Tsukushi's request, but their relationship suffers as Shizuka spends increasing amounts of time at work. Eventually, Rui returns to Japan in frustration. Shizuka remains in Paris and eventually marries a lawyer there, giving her bouquet to Tsukushi.
