The series’ main characters, Aqua and Ruby Hoshino, have been the center of attention since their birth. They were given a second chance at life, with the popular idol Ai Hoshino as their mother.
Tragically, Ai’s life was cut short in a horrific tragedy that started Aqua’s quest for revenge.
Throughout the series, Aqua has been rubbing elbows with major figures in the entertainment industry in hopes of getting more answers regarding his mother’s murder. After working his way up as an actor, he finally found someone who had the answer he was looking for.
Who is Aqua and Ruby’s father in Oshi no Ko?
One of the driving forces behind Aqua’s character in Oshi no Ko was his quest for revenge. After the tragic murder of his mother, Ai Hoshino, Aqua was determined to uncover the truth behind her death. Knowing that Ai had just entered the acting world when the tragedy occurred, Aqua pursued a career as an actor, believing it would help him expose her killer.
Throughout his journey, Aqua took on various projects and steadily built connections within the entertainment industry, all while quietly gathering clues behind the scenes. After years of relentless searching, his investigation finally reached a turning point with the shocking revelations in season 2, episode 10 of the Oshi no Ko anime, and chapter 68 of the Oshi no Ko manga.
While working on the Tokyo Blade 2.5D stage play, Aqua secretly conducted a DNA test on his fellow actor, Taiki Himekawa. The test revealed that they were half-brothers with the same father.
Taiki invited Aqua to his apartment and explained that their father was Seijuro Uehara, a struggling actor known for his relationships with multiple talents in the entertainment industry.
Taiki’s mother was Airi Himekawa, who had once been the lead actress in a morning drama. Taiki then revealed that their father, Seijuro Uehara, had died five years ago after committing a lover’s suicide with Airi.
While the Oshi no Ko anime has yet to fully reveal Ai Hoshino’s connection to Seijuro, this episode marked a turning point for Aqua. Having learned his father’s identity and the circumstances surrounding his death, Aqua began to realize that his long mission for revenge may finally be over.
