Biography

Iwatsuki, the son of Iwatsuki Hospital's director, most likely grew up well off. He attended Eitoku Academy, possibly starting in kindergarten. Iwatsuki became acquainted with Shizuka Todo at some point. After she returned from France, he greeted her in Eitoku University's cafeteria. She introduced him to the F4. He mistook Rui Hanazawa to be her boyfriend. She corrected him, saying Rui was "just a childhood friend." Blushing, Iwatsuki responded "You just seemed so close."

Iwatsuki had dark hair and a plain, friendly face. He was seen wearing gray pants and a white polo style shirt with a striped sweater tied around his neck, like a stereotypical rich person.
