History
Legacy is the protagonist idol group of the Legacy story and world.

Legacy originally sought assistance from Sumiko Hayashi’s mother, Katsu Hayashi. She refused. She followed her refusal with warnings about the dangers of idol culture and brutality of the business. (Katsu also had other plans for Sumiko’s future, none of which included burning out before she finished her education.)

Upon realizing that his daughter and her friends were going to continue with or without parental support, Sumiko’s father, Hayato Hayashi, stepped in. He gave his blessing on the condition that he acted as the group’s manager to keep the girls out of trouble. He offered access to his expansive portfolio of connections and investments to kick-start their careers, but was politely turned down by Legacy’s leader, Momo Nakamura. She and Sumiko convinced Hayashi to support the DIY approach the group wanted to take.

Legacy is currently under the management and supervision of Hayato Hayashi and his business partner, Maro Kondo. Together they are the proprietors of L.O.D., LLC.. Maro presents himself to the public as Legacy’s manager in place of Hayato. Behind the scenes he acts as the middleman between Hayato and companies that compete in the same market as Stage Sugar.
