Jel (ジェル) is an utaite that became more prominent towards the latter half of the 2010s. Described as an ''ikebo'' singer, he tends to sing serious songs or attempts to sing them "sexily". When he was active a member of Strawberry Prince, he was coupled with Nanamori and Satomi as the "older" trio, which tends to get more mature song content.
Before he became prominent as an Utaite, he also uploaded videos as a Situation Voice ASMR streamer. He still continues to do so, but most of the content on his Youtube consists of the Tooi-san series, a collection of short skits set in a parodic otome game world. These will sometimes cross over with Strawberry Prince.
