He is commonly seen as a stuffed animal or plushy although various form of merchandise are sold.
Pan-san is described as having evil-eyes, sharpened claws, and fangs. He is often holding a bottle of an unknown liquid.


Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru.

Minami is a teenage girl with unknown height and weight. She has gray eyes, short brownish hair that reaches down the nape of her neck and thin eyebrows.
She is mostly seen wearing the standard Sobu High uniform. She is seen wearing pink earrings and purple nail polish on her fingernails at the summer fireworks festival.

On the surface, Minami appears as an innocent, clever, and unassuming girl, but she only puts up this facade for attention. Being the leader of the second most influential clique in her classroom, Minami is proud, has a large ego, and is rather pompous. It was revealed that she relies on her group to improve her own popularity and nothing more.
Underneath these characteristics, Minami lacks confidence in her own abilities, letting others dote on her except for Hachiman, and others who are able to see Minami for who she truly is. According to Hachiman, Minami has too much arrogance and pride to admit her mistakes or confess when she is wrong, and will instead badmouth and blame others for her problems to cover up her uselessness. She is emotionally weak and can be easily reduced to tears with words alone. She is also easily manipulated by others such as Haruno or Hayama, people she looks up to.
The cultural festival was a traumatic incident for Minami due to Hachiman's harsh criticism and her realization of her own shortcomings. She feels inferior to Yukino and tries to hide from her problems.
After the athletic festival, there are hints that she has had a change in personality, but she is rarely mentioned after this point in the story.


Meguri is good-looking girl with curly shoulder-length brown hair that is worn in twin braids, her fringe is cut short and parted to the left side of her face that is donned with three pink hair clips, two on the right, one on the left and grayish eyes.
She is usually seen wearing the school uniform.

Meguri is a cheerful, out-going, optimistic and team-spirited girl who always tries her best and acts positive. Although she is great with people and pretty smart, she exudes an airheaded but comfortable aura which attracts almost all of the student body support. She listens to everyone's opinions. She gets along with every one without any discomfort or conflicts.


Tahara is seen wearing the standard school uniform with a green tie. He has blue half-frame glasses. He has black hair and black eyes.


In the anime, Tamanawa is seen wearing the uniform of Kaihin Sougou High School that is composed of a white dress shirt, a light blue sweater with two dark blue lines at the top, and a red tie under a navy blue blazer and pants.

Tamanawa is a somewhat pompous ( affectedly and irritatingly grand, solemn, or self-important ) person who often uses complex English words in some of his sentences. Hachiman Hikigaya observed that he uses many similar meaning words (synonyms) in English and Japanese in quick succession.
Hachiman and Yukino Yukinoshita note he just likes to be in charge and lacks any real ideas or convictions.
Hachiman also feels that neither Tamanawa or any other student council members wanted to take full responsibility of the Christmas concert because of a fear of failure. Tamanawa comes across as really indecisive and unable to manage time well.
He seems a little dense or stubborn, when Hachiman tries using Tamanawa's own lingo to progress the Christmas Collaboration meetings he still wouldn't commit to anything. It's not until Yukino directly addresses his inability to act do they start to get things done.
Although Tamanawa won't commit to any one idea for the Christmas Event, he is eager to involve and please as many people as possible. Indicating a rather sociable side as he happily welcomes new members such as Hachiman, Yukino, Yui, and the elementary school students.
Tamanawa is likely a popular figure in his school, since he was elected as president of student council. He also managed to recruit his own friends like Kaori Orimoto to come and help.
By the time Hachiman and Yui Yuigahama approach him regarding Hachiman's mock prom, Tamanawa has mostly matured from his reliance on complex yet meaningless words, taking Hachiman (who has prepared for a conversation filled with complex words) aback.


Tobe is a good-looking teenage boy with dyed-brown long hair with a black hairband, grey eyes and is usually seen in school uniform. He wears a sweater underneath his school jacket during the winter.

Tobe is a happy and excitable person who cares for his friends and generally helpful to others. He is enthusiastic for all things he does and likes to improve. As mentioned by himself, he tries to be popular. He admits to being envious of others more skilled than he is and often praises Hayato Hayama .
According to Hayato, Tobe bleached hair might make him look like a bad guy, but he's the best at getting everyone energized. He always gets involved at the school festival and the sports festival. Because of that, Hayato believes he is a nice person though in Yukino 's opinion, he is an easily excited person whose only talent is making noise.

Tobe excitedly cutting logs at Chiba Village summer camp.

According to Yukino, he is noisy and annoying though to Yui , he is more or less just talkative. However, Hachiman corrects her that he likes to talk about himself. Which is apparently true for most cases. During the Chiba Village summer camp arc, he initiated the conversation of their crushes just to express his liking of Hina . He also loudly stated his desire for valentine chocolate.
He is also fond of children. At Chiba Village summer camp, he enjoyed helping the elementary school children cooking curry. Furthermore, he despised threatening Rumi 's classmates for Hachiman's plan.


Saika has a soft, feminine appearance, and on occasion is mistaken as a female. Hachiman sometimes "forgets" that Totsuka is a boy. He has short, light grey/silver hair, large, sparkling blue eyes, and light skin tone. He is seen wearing his gym uniform throughout most of the series, often accompanied by his tennis racket, a towel around his neck or both.
In the anime, his outfit consists of a dark and light green sports jacket, similar colored shorts with black knee length tights underneath, and wears a V-neck shirt that is long sleeved and a lighter shade of green in color.
In the manga, his shorts are slightly longer and his undershorts are not visible.
In the light novels, his clothes are exactly the same as in the anime, except his jacket is initially light blue and changes into green later in the novels, and his undershirt is short sleeved with a blue collar and is white.
He also wears a black bracelet on his right wrist.

Saika has a soft and kind demeanor, as well as a feminine appearance, which causes Hachiman on multiple occasions to "forget" Saika is a boy. Because of his feminine characteristics, most girls in the school call him "prince". This personality often causes his comrades and teammates to pursue victory in athletics or tennis. In contrast to his outward appearance, he is trying to be manly as possible, and doesn't like when his gender is mistaken.
He is kind and loving to everyone. He is able to get along with everyone without any hard feelings. He is bashful and often shown blushing, especially to Hachiman. He is peaceful and doesn't like creating or being involved in conflicts. (for example, when Miura wanted to use the tennis court, he didn't say anything.)


Rumi is considered to be a very cute and pretty girl (by Yumiko Miura ) with long dark hair and black/grey eyes. Hachiman Hikigaya considers her to be a trendy dresser, indicating her fashion sense, but he notes it may have just been her parents.
Rumi is seen as a miniature Yukino Yukinoshita , both in looks and the way she carries herself.

Rumi is a quiet and calm girl who tends to be a loner where she is very observational and very mature compared to others her age.
She herself mentioned she would bully other girls with her classmates, but only because everyone else did it. They would get bored after a while and pick a new girl to bully. However at some point they started picking on Rumi and haven't moved on.
Hachiman Hikigaya and Yui Yuigahama feel that Rumi is similar to Yukino Yukinoshita as someone who is aloof and independent. However, Yukino says Rumi reminds her of Yui. Someone who is trying to fit in and cooperate with everyone.
Hayato Hayama , Yumiko Miura and Komachi Hikigaya consider Rumi as a cold and unfriendly person. But, Rumi is shown to have a kind personality as she saved her peers who bullied her. She often does things on her own without relying on anyone. In this regard she is like Hachiman, someone that considers their own presence a hindrance to others and that staying away is the nice thing to do.
It was shown during the Christmas collaboration event that her personality is slightly Tsundere, this can be seen when she mentions she can "do it by herself" when making Christmas decorations, but was shocked when Hachiman was about to leave her on her own ( Season 2 Episode 10 ).


Yamato is very tall. In the anime, he is shown to be taller than Hayato and broad-shouldered. He has dark brown hair and eyes.

According to Hayato , he is levelheaded, calm, and good at listening, a chill guy who puts people at ease by not saying much and being the silent, caring type. Because of that, Hayato believes he is a good guy.
However, Yamato is shown to laugh loudly when jokes are told at other people's expense, which is not the "silent, caring type."
However, in Yukino 's opinion, he is not only slow-witted but incapable of making his own decisions.
Ebina considers him "self-assured", although this is according to her yaoi fantasies.
Hachiman considers him an indecisive dimwit.


Yui's appearance varies from book to book. When first introduced, she is described to have loose, shoulder length chestnut-brown hair that would sway when she walked. She is also mentioned to not follow the dress code, wearing her skirt short, the top three buttons of her shirt undone, and a heart charm on a gleaming necklace.
Later, her hair is shown to be usually worn in a loose side bun.
In the anime, Yui has fair skin, light orange hair that is almost always seen with a loose side bun, and peach-reddish eyes. She is mostly seen wearing the standard school uniform: a black blazer with a white collared shirt underneath, a red ribbon tie, and plaid skirt. She wears her tie loose, sometimes omits the tie and blazer, and has the top buttons of her blouse undone. She also wears black knee high socks.
During the fireworks festival, she wears a pale-pink yukata with a flower pattern and tied with a large crimson sash as well as wooden geta sandals.

Yui is a cheerful and outgoing girl. She's very optimistic, hardly sad or upset - and even when she is, she has a smile on her face. She has stated that she always wants to fit in, and that disagreeing with friends brings her anxiety - however, things change as she joins the club, with her learning to really be herself thanks to Hachiman and Yukino, who are naturally less diplomatic and more blunt. Hachiman initially describes her as the typical good looking, dumb, popular type, but is later proven to be wrong. While she can be naive, she's overall intelligent, and her social skills are her strongest point.
She has a friendly attitude to mostly everyone around her and usually ends up befriending them. She is not all deterred by those who are initially dismissive of her kindness, such as Hachiman Hikigaya and Yukino Yukinoshita , even after both criticized her. She has nicknamed the two, "Hikki" and "Yukinon" respectively, which both dislike at first but eventually accept as normal. She has nicknames for almost everyone and even asks for people to give her her own nickname during her birthday party.
She is an expert at reading the mood and adjusting herself to it. Because of this, she often hides her true opinion and states what others want to hear in order for things to go smoothly. Yui's very sensitive to the politics of the class. She's known as the "glue" of Hayato's clique, as she is always the one providing the energy and friendliness. She dislikes being a disturbance.
She admires both Yukino and Hachiman for being blunt and their willingness to share their opinions no matter how harsh they may be. Yui has stated their honesty, straightforwardness, and independence are the reasons she joined the Service Club. After her experience with the Service Club, she was able to speak her mind a bit more, showing how much she developed socially. While she still remains naturally people-oriented, Yui has now become more able to be who she is, and to recognize who true friends are. For example, though she and Yumiko are in the same group, due to the latter's domineering, arrogant and bossy nature, she has initially trouble telling her she becomes friends with social outcasts like Yukino and Hachiman, but later on she loses this trait.
Due to Yui's personality and appearance, she gets hit on by the male student population, but gets away by using Yumiko as an escape route. [1] Though Yui is both cute and social, she is mentioned having no boyfriend as most boys believe that they can't land a date with her, choosing to give up as stated by Tobe.
She can be very determined when she sets her mind to something, demonstrated when she decides to run for student council, as well as when she forces the events of Volume 11 to happen.
In her guidance counseling survey, Yui wrote she wants to get along with everyone and wished to be friends with everyone even after graduating.


Haruno is a beautiful young woman with shoulder-length black hair (the tips of her hair are dyed purple in the second season) and angular blue eyes (rose eyes in the second season).
She first appears wearing small heart earrings and a large beaded necklace. Her dress was made of white flowing material and fluttery lace. [3]
In the anime, her earrings are small dangling triangles and she wears almost the same outfit.
She is also known to wear a knitted cardigan and white blouse along with a long skirt on casual occasions. On other occasions, she wears a red coat along with a scarf.
Hachiman Hikigaya considered her strikingly similar in appearance to Yukino Yukinoshita . She is described as having a radiant, tidy, and glamorous appearance as well as being exceptionally good looking. Due to her elegance and beauty, Hachiman states that she can be easily pointed out among the rough Chiba crowd.
During the fireworks festival, she wears a dark blue yukata emblazoned with giant lilies and autumn grass.

Haruno presents a warm attitude towards others, even if she has to lie about her true feelings most of the time to keep up her persona.
Haruno is an exceptional people person, able to greet, work with, or manipulate those around her. She is the eldest of the two Yukinoshita sisters and therefore has to maintain a cheerful facade when representing the family for either their father's political events or mother's business meetings.
According to Hayato Hayama , she will meddle so much with what she likes to the point of killing it. For the things she hates, she’d go the extra mile to crush them.
She is known to have a sinister side to her evident by the fact that she talks with a voice which is described by Hachiman as cold, piercing and emotionless. She is also known to question the genuineness of various things in life. [citation needed]
She genuinely cares for Yukino Yukinoshita (Haruno's younger sister) and respects Mrs. Yukinoshita (Haruno's mother). However, Haruno often meddles in Yukino's affairs out of love and concern or just for her own pleasure. Later in the series she reveals she is envious of the freedom that Yukino has, since she, as the oldest sibling, has to do everything their parents demand.
She aimlessly travels during her days-off. Hachiman Hikigaya noticed that, for a college student she seems to have too much time and money on her hands. Haruno brushes it off as her just being "exceptional". [citation needed]


Yukino is a beautiful teenage girl of average height and slim build. She has fair skin, long black hair that spills over her shoulders and down to her hips, and an ahoge that lays flat atop her head. Adorning her hair are two red ribbons just above each shoulder. Her most striking feature is a pair of large, piercing blue eyes.
Yukino is mainly seen in her school uniform: a black blazer with a white shirt, a red ribbon tie, and a plaid skirt. With her uniform she wears black thigh high stockings that are embellished with white stripes, and is sometimes seen with a blue scarf in winter. She occasionally wears a pair of blue-light blocking glasses, given to her by Hachiman, while working on a computer.

Yukino is prideful, talented and extremely smart, but has a tendency to be blunt and point out faults in other people without consideration. She believes that it is the duty of the "exceptional" (a.k.a. herself) to help the less fortunate, which Hachiman Hikigaya refers to as her twisted nobility. In the beginning she has a very cold and unfriendly demeanor, earning her the nickname of Ice Queen, although this changes with her character development as she genuinely becomes kinder and friendlier.
Her personality can be seen as exceedingly haughty to some people. Despite this, she still attempts to understand other people and is kind and compassionate in her own twisted way; she's also better than Hachiman at understanding the emotional side of other people. According to Hachiman, she is peerless in skills and personality.

Yukino agitated for pointing out her flat chest

On a more personal level, Yukino hates to be pointed out to have a smaller chest than other female characters. She always tries to maintain an elegant and dignified appearance, which is strongly evident when she covered her laughter after Hachiman had presented his cultural festival slogan.
Yukino is a competitive person, willing to win any competition officially and unofficially to prove herself. There are a number of examples of this in the series, such as when she accepted Shizuka Hiratsuka 's challenge when asked if she was afraid of losing. Her main driving force is her wish to surpass her sister, going as far as doing what her sister had done in order to show that she could do it just as well.

Yukino in Destiny Land
Despite all of this, Yukino's icy exterior slowly fades throughout the series, revealing her vulnerable side to those close to her. She is a big fan of Pan-san , a panda character. She even has the real manuscript of the story and its stuffed toy, which Hachiman finds surprising.
Yukino also showed her "cold face" when Yumiko expressed her idea of Pan-san not being cute. She also asked her friends to be quiet in time of Pan-san bamboo fight. Her obsession for Pan-san is known by both Yui Yuigahama and Hachiman. Yukino is almost always attracted to spots were Pan-san is displayed. Despite her efforts to hide her love for Pan-san, she occasionally slips up and show the fan side of her.

Yukino in souvenir shop

Yukino is also fond of cats and anything cat-related. This is shown throughout the anime series and was focused greatly in the Light novels. She even meowed with Hachiman's cat, Kamakura , causing him to ask her about it in a tone that suggested that he was dubious of her sanity. In Drama CD, it was mentioned by Haruno Yukinoshita that Yukino has a hobby of hugging her Pan-san doll and watches cat videos on her computer. Another instance was during a visit at the aquarium, where she was deeply intrigued by the catsharks due to the word "cat" being in their name.

Yukino meowing with Kamakura

According to Hachiman, she attracts airheads (Yui and Komachi ) and most boys. Even though she doesn't lie, she sometimes beats around the bush of the topics.
Despite her calm and reserved demeanor, Yukino has a somewhat frightening side. Hachiman describes that she emits an "evil aura" when she is seriously angry and expressing her loathing about a certain individual. This can be seen when she expressed her opinion on chain messages senders and the belief that they should be eliminated . It should be noted that she made certain individuals like Sagawa and Shimoda expelled from during her middle school due to chain messages harassment directed to her. She even claimed that she would crush her enemies face-to-face.
Another incident was when Hachiman asked her for meowing with Kamakura session. She admonished Hachiman in a way that made Hachiman felt if he spoke another word, she would kill him on the spot. At Chiba Village summer camp, she had a serious argument with Yumiko which reduced the latter to tears.The same was witnessed by Yui and Hachiman when Iroha Isshiki questions of the rumors of Hayama and Yukino.
Yukino sometimes blushes in front of Hachiman, who occasionally sees her excited over little things like going to Destiny Land. In spite of all her "perfections", she is incredibly bad at directions as pointed out by Hachiman.
Ultimately, despite her massive pride and her initially cold and haughty demeanor, Yukino is very kind and selfless, and has a genuinely good heart. She's a person who is always ready to help everyone in need, even the ones she doesn't know and the ones who mistreat her.


Zaimokuza has an unusual appearance. He has grey/white hair that he keeps in a short ponytail, brown or black eyes and glasses.
In the anime he is shown to be one of the tallest characters and slightly overweight. He wears a trench-coat over his school uniform, along with black fingerless gloves even when it is during the summer months and because of this, they cause him to be almost always sweaty, even during the winter.

Zaimokuza is considered to be weird, gross and creepy by the majority of the Sobu High, even more so than Hachiman Hikigaya.
He is a very eccentric character, getting incredibly excited over things he enjoys, particularly anything related to his 8th grader syndrome. He displays a high interest in historical shoguns, magic, and writing (despite the fact he is a terrible writer), and video game creation. He often talks like a movie narrator or with grandiose overtones. He sometimes refers to himself and those around him in the 3rd person and involves them in his fantasy/roleplaying scenarios. His dream is to become a famous light novel author or movie writer and marry a voice actress. [1]
His devotion to writing a novel is often mentioned in the light novels. He also behaves like a professional and famous novel writer, despite the fact he has no accomplishments. During the Cultural Festival his script was used for his class play. He briefly considered being a creative game writer, until he found out the company would own all the rights to his work. [2]
He is quite easy going, being able to bounce back from being criticized by Yukino and Hachiman, and still display his enthusiasm for writing, which Hachiman refers to as a "writer's syndrome".
He is quiet, sensitive, and jealous, especially whenever Hayato or other popular people are around. He also struggles talking to girls.
He, like Hachiman, is mostly a loner and feels most at home around other loners. He is known to have many acquaintances around the arcades in Chiba, but has few friends.


Ooka is shorter than most other characters in the series. He has brown hair and brown eyes. He is usually seen wearing the standard Sobu uniform.

According to Hayato , he is easy to get along with, always helping other people out, and always polite and respectful to his elders and his juniors. Because of that Hayato believes he is a nice person. But Yukino feels that he is an opportunist who worries about his reputation. Furthermore, he can be insensitive sometimes, as he burst out laughing when Tobe belittles Hachiman , which is the opposite of Hayato's positive descriptions of him. Hachiman describes him to be a virgin because he acts similarly awkwardly when the topic of sex comes up.


He is a white and grey cat. The tips of his ears and tail are black. He wears a blue collar.
His appearance in season 2 changes. Kamakura is no longer a mostly white, fat cat, but instead a grey striped lean feline that bears a resemblance to the American wirehair.

Kamakura is a typical lazy cat. He avoids contact with the energetic dog Sable .


Yaiba

Hangetsu is a small white anthropomorphic rabbit with neat fringes in each sides, and a long ragged mustache. This mustache will be adapted for the villainous Doctor Eggman in the Sonic The Hedgehog game series. Like Tsukikage, he wore a General military attire and his linings were green and his bow tie being purple.


Yaiba

Mangetsu is a chubby white anthropomorphic rabbit with two whiskers and his two front teeth are exposed. He wears a General attire similar to Tsukikage's. The linings of his outfit are bright green and wears black military slacks with a bright green hue and matching black boots. His bow tie however is blue.


Yaiba

In ancient times when the country of Japan is known as the Fire Country during the time Kaguya had first invaded Earth, Ryuujin appears to have a long black hair tied in a traditional bun adorned in a red laced ribbon and was covered in a black turban and blue eyes.
When he gave the Ryuujin orb to Kaguya and before transforming into his original form, he wears a robe worn by imperial priests under the leadership of the Japanese Emperor; a long light teal robe with a teal ribbon tied around his waist, a purple long sleeved kimono shirt beneath his robes, white hakama and he was barefeet.
In his original form, he wears a genji-type of armor worn by samurais; a light red long traditional vest with a light violet and white modified genji armor along with a black and indigo long sleeved garb. He has matching greaves within his genji armor, black pants and modified boots resembling a matching tabi and a white geta. His black and purple genji helmet is covering his blue eyes and has long white ragged hair in each sides with laces being tied into his chin and the emblem of his helmet was adorned in a golden crescent moon shape.
In the present day, he became an elderly in appearance with light gray hair and pale skin due to his age and he grew a light gray ragged mustache in each sides which is similar to Hangetsu and he glows in a bright green aura that resembles a green dragon flame. He retains wearing his original outfit on his youth.


Yaiba

Tsukikage is a tall and slender white anthropomorphic rabbit with a full fringe at the left side which he was sharing with his brother Gekko who had ragged spikes. He wore a military attire worn by Generals; a black short military jacket in a light blue hue and gold epaulettes and the jacket is long at the back, a white long sleeve button shirt with a red bow tie, black military pants with a light blue hue and matching boots.


Yakitate!! Japan

Kageto has a brown mushroom-like head and slanted black eyes. He's always seen wearing the Southern Tokyo uniform with green pants, a pair of white socks, and sandals.

Kageto has a laid-back personality which he has low motivation but is a hard worker at the place he is. He did all the work and copied Azuma 's and Shigeru while they were in their worldVcompetition. Kinoshita may be the most sanest and logical person among them but is never heard by them.


Yakitate!! Japan

He is tall, muscular man with black spiky hair, covered by a bandana. He's got a face with very strong traits; small eyes, thin mouth. His skin is very slightly tanned and he uses the Pantasia uniform. He brings a katana in a wooden sheath and handle.

Kai is a samurai and ninja who is a master of the katana who claims to have left the swordsman path of destruction to follow the path of life-giving bread. Despite that, he often becomes very warrior-like and fearsome during baking competitions, which occasionally makes other characters wonder if he is truly focused on the 'life-giving' aspect of his bread.


Yakitate!! Japan

He has brown eyes and hair. He uses a pink headband holding his messy hair, which was given by Tsukino . He wears the Pantasia worker outfit. His hair seems to have somewhat an antennae look in the front.

He is a very lively boy. Eternally optimistic and cheerful, he never gets upset from challenges faced in baking competitions, but rather from emotional tragedies, as shown with Kyousuke's and Ken's.
He gets his inspirations for his Ja-pan from random sources, like other Japanese foods and stories from his experienced but overly talkative grandfather, a rice farmer.
He is unexpectedly great at math, as seen when he solved a complicated math problem in his head in less than a minute that took Pierrot hours to conceive that was written out in the sand. He is also hinted to have a slight crush on Tsukino , and vice versa, but it is not stated explicitly in the series.
He is often naive and clueless of what's happening around him and refers things he doesn't know about as a funny statement.
As described by a Dhalsim formed of Kyosuke, Kazuma's heroic willpower is much stronger, as shown that Kazuma infuses this power into one of his completed breads be able to save everyone and the entire universe, such as:

manipulating time for someone who has a tragic life for losing their family like Pierrot lost his parents, to travel back in time to save the taster' parents via eating Kazuma's time bagel, thus creating a new timeline once they succeed exorcist the victims of Demon King of Bread's will like Kuroyanagi and Yuichi from the infection from the Demon King of Bread enhancing fellow heroes like Kyosuke to save the world twice defeating the Demon King, once Kazuma's ultimate ancient wheat Japan bread separates Yuichi from the Demon King saving the Earth from global warming by one of Kazuma's ultimate Japan breads that can transform the taster into a Dhalsim-like


Yakitate!! Japan

Ryou is a handsome tannish-skinned young man with short black hair that has bangs hanging on either side, small brown eyes and he wears the Pantasia Head uniform with a blue scarf around the neck.

Ryou is a very serious guy whenever he is making or judging bread who gets very angry when Kazuma Azuma keeps calling him an old man, reminding him that he is merely 22. His strait-laced no-nonsense attitude belies his very silly quirk of making strange pun-based reactions to the delicious bread he's eating (during the match in Uppurui he married an extremely ugly woman just for the sake of a pun, getting a divorce five minutes later).


Yakitate!! Japan

Shigeru has shoulder-length light pink hair that spikes, dark pink eyes and a beautiful face. He is extremely handsome and looks like a K-pop boy, only 100% more anime and kawaii.


Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii

Tsubaki has a long and black 'hime' haircut, big pupils but narrow eyes. She also seems to be in the same height as her cousin.

Tsubaki has shown a great affection to her grandfather Renji since she was very young and admires him as a perfect being of an idol. Because of this, she likes to see Yoshino's face, since Yoshino resembles a lot like him.
Tsubaki also has mysterious thoughts about Miyama Kirishima and wonders of what he is actually thinking. She also reads people's minds easily and can see their personalities almost immediately, such as Kirishima's mind. She can also be very horrifying as a person, since she scared Kirishima that she could change herself to look like Yoshino so that he can never find her. It is also noted that Tsubaki helped Yoshino a lot, to where Yoshino can completely trust her.
It is later revealed that outside of only Renji, Tsubaki technically hates and has a distaste for Osaka men, which includes Shouma; who also hates her due to her being a Kyoto woman.


Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii

Shiori has a hair style of black, with white on her bangs. She has a tattoo of two small flowers on her left bicep. She has two moles on her right lower jaw.

Shiori is seemingly rebellious, and is afraid of Kirishima despite knowing him briefly. She also called for help when he violently nearly kills every one of her gang, and accidentally knocked her out with an ashtray, stunning her. She is also afraid of causing trouble for herself, and is planning to flee whenever she causes one. She smokes and often drinks alcohol in bars.


Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii

Tachibana has bald hair and narrowed eyes. He often wears his casual bodyguard outfit, and smokes regularly.

A lot is not known from Tachibana, other than he acts a lot like Hotei , Somei Yoshino 's bodyguard. He smokes often and hits Kirishima if he breaks his curfew, similar to Hotei hitting Shouma when he breaks his curfew. Tachibana is also described by Kirishima to be a very nice guy, although this is covered up by his strict demeanor. He also doesn't understands Kirishima's love to Yoshino and still doesn't.
Tachibana does not smile often, and dislikes Kirishima's masochistic behavior and feels disturbed by the subject. He also doesn't drink sake , but loves sweets.


Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii

Azami's black hairstyle is a lot like Hotei Taketa 's hairstyle, but messier. He has snake and octopus tattoos from the back of his neck to his right arm, and has a tattoo of the illuminati symbol on his neck. Without his mask reveals a large scar across his mouth. He has sly, narrow eyes. His height is also around the same as Kirishima.

Azami is a rather quiet, vague but seemingly dangerous individual to at least Ozu. He seems to have talked to his underling, but doesn't reply to Ozu's questions, implying that he doesn't talk unless its somewhat important enough for an answer. He has a rather fearsome and dangerous vibe to where Ozu seems to fear him. However, a year ago he was more talkative and approaches Ozu to help him.
He seems to be somewhat associated with Yoshino, and has a GPS specially targeting towards her for reasons yet to be known. He also likes to settle things quietly and quickly and he doesn't like to spend time on things he didn't aim to do, as he finds them boring and a waste of time. He also has great fighting skills, almost rivaling if not better than Kirishima's.
Azami is also for some reason in a goal of kidnapping Yoshino and killing Renji and Kirishima in order to get to her. Whether or not he's involved with Akishiba is unknown.


Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii

He has red permed hair which signalizes his own appearance, followed by eye lashes from the bottom of his eye. He wears a black striped shirt with white tie covered by a suit. He unironically gives out an appearance of a yakuza in Shouma's opinion, despite the latter actually does not like them in the first place.

Noodle-kun is first seen with Ozu as an apathetic worker. He seems to dislike his work but still goes for it as long as he gets paid by his bosses. He is likely another thug but is a rather tamed, calmer individual than the rest. Noodle-kun also seems to despise the Yakuza industry and has stated that he would normally not even touch them, he only does when it is from work.
He is shown to be incredibly strong as well, as he can defeat a goon by smashing them onto the wall instantly. He is shown rather flirty with pretty girls as well, such as asking Nao Shiota out upon knowing her. He seems to take sensitivity when it comes to throwing shade onto his hair, and attacks Toriashi Shouma , who insulted it.
He does take his job as Azami's underling seriously, and respects his commands. He also looks down on the people affiliated with the Yakuza world and does not like them, and calls people like Miyama Kirishima as a "Third-Rate Criminal", similar to Azami's comment on the same latter.

Gaku has a white, seemingly near-bald/shaved haircut and has a scar near his left eyebrow since he was younger. He also seem to have a bit of a stubble when he got older.
When Gaku was younger, he looks extremely similar to Kirishima. He also kept the same hairstyle as he currently does now, except it was black before it went whitened completely. It was shown that Gaku got his scar presumably after his school life ended.

Little is known about Gaku, other than the fact that he is unmarried and has no children, similar to his sister . Kirishima is actually not his grandson but rather his great-nephew, as Kirishima is the grandson of his his twin . Gaku and Renji are friends, and when they were younger, Gaku used to tease Renji by calling him 'Renko-chan.' Like many characters in the series, Gaku has a smoking habit and is often seem tired and sleepy.
In one of the sketches/extras of the series, it is revealed that Gaku is the black sheep of his family, with whom he no longer maintains contact. He is also a terrible caretaker - he only gives Kirishima some money every month and does not care for him beyong that, which leads Kirishima to grow up independently without familial love. Gaku can be rather heartless, as he lets Kirishima’s abilities determine his fate before adulthood and seems indifferent to whether he lives or dies.
It is revealed by Renji that Gaku is a skilled fighter, and that Renji could never match his level. Gaku is also mentioned to be extremely gifted at games like rock-paper-scissors. He once owned a car that Renji drove off a cliff, which led Gaku to beat him up. Gaku has also beaten up Kirishima for calling him 'grandfather,' as he is not.

Kirishima is a tall and muscular young man with yellow eyes and dark, spiky hair. He has been described as attractive and the spitting image of his grand-uncle, Gaku Miyama , especially with his hair styled upwards.  He has a large tiger tattoo on his back.
He would usually be seen wearing  his school uniform along with dark suits while working but would occasionally wear casual clothes at home.

He is characterized as a cordial, polite and overall pleasant young man. He is shown to be very excitable when first meeting Yoshino, yet has a disregard for Yoshino’s personal space. Nevertheless, Kirishima was glad to have her in Tokyo for their engagement, being grateful to have met her even if she decided not to stay.
Kirishima is very popular among his peers in school, being well-liked and respected regardless of his ties with the yakuza. Despite his courteous personality towards the general public, he thinks little of other people, particularly how his actions affect those around him. This is mostly attributed to his inability to properly understand other people or how to understand his own emotions.
A product of his own environment, Kirishima is a child who grew up knowing the depths of the yakuza world. Highly perceptive and good with reading people’s intentions, Kirishima is incredibly meticulous with a talent for manipulation and predicting scenarios. He has little hesitation in committing violent acts under the orders of the Miyama Group and had a history of getting into fights as a child. He can be cold and ruthless, performing acts of violence with a smile on his face and will take any means necessary in order to achieve his goals. His casual approach to violence is even enough to cause discomfort to his fellow yakuza men. It's later revealed in Chapter 35.1: You Are Life, that Kirishima find most things in life boring, yet was not above trying to make friends or at least make efforts to seem "normal" , however such efforts were ultimately fruitless.
A defining trait of Kirishima is his masochism, greatly enjoying both inflicting and receiving pain. This often causes his peers in the yakuza to be disturbed. Examples of his masochistic tendencies include getting knee surgery without anesthesia (at his request), suffocating yakuza captives (because he thinks they'd like it as much as he did), purposely breaking his curfew to get punished, and telling Yoshino to “fuck him up” much to her shock and irritation. He also enjoys receiving lectures by Yoshino when she’s angry.
When with Yoshino, Kirishima acts similar to a curious child. He is incredibly honest when talking about his new found “love” for Yoshino and is often willing to go to great lengths to earn her affections. However his methods tend to be very polarizing, an example is buying her cake after torturing a man to death. Yoshino herself sees his efforts as manipulative, intrusive and overbearing, often feeling suffocated by his affection. Regardless of his approach, Kirishima genuinely seems to care for Yoshino and made efforts to being more considerate of her feelings and is willing to reveal more personal information about himself to get her to believe his sincerity, such as taking her to meet Miyama Sumire .

Kento Ozu has a side shade over his formal-looking hair, which is in a shaded color. He has a mole on his right cheek below his eye. The guy has an average build.

Ozu's personality is very toxic. He is a model and his parents work for very rich companies. Ozu currently is under the order of a superior named Azami. He believes that everything can be done as long as cash can be involved, and has not been caring for others at all, therefore manipulates them with cash.
According to Kirishima, he too is being used by his superiors and the cycle is going towards Nao. He is rather tame and passive when he comes to insult. Like many male characters in the series, he has a habit of smoking. Ozu also manipulated many people including some girls that went missing, if not wanting to expose them.
Despite his intention to lure a drama to happen and exposing secrets of others, Ozu typically doesn't want to get involved in fights and fears them; which goes against his fearsome superior, Azami.
He has a disgusting taste for women, and has a lot of personalities that resemble Kirishima's. Ozu rented 3 houses and has a large gang on his own, and he lives in a wealthy family. He also drinks sake regularly.

Somei Renji is a fit old man who has a small stubble on top of his lips and chin. According to Tsubaki, Renji and Yoshino almost looks alike. In some sketches of when Renji was younger, he has the same purple hair color as his granddaughter.

Renji is a sociable, energetic fellow who has a lot of friends. He is also ridiculously good at net-working. He is also already an unrepentant delinquent when he was 15. Renji is also highly accepting of others, as shown by his decision to take in Shouma—a complete stranger who had nothing to do with him except for the fact that he hit him—as his foster son. As a result of his playboy nature, he had a lot of mistresses despite being married. However, he knows when to cool down and take things seriously. One of his hobbies is playing golf.
Renji cares a lot for Yoshino, and when she felt miserable after Kirishima says he feels sickened her and tells her to return to Osaka, he calls her. Renji encourages her to stay in Tokyo for a while, treat Kirishima well for a while and then dump him as revenge. He also punishes both Shouma and Kirishima for putting Yoshino in danger. Although Renji is highly enthusiastic, Yoshino views him as a trashy man. He is unpredictable and very powerful in fights.
Renji prioritizes and fiercely protects his family. The death, or murder of his son, Kyousuke, devastated him, and even after a long time, he remains deeply affected by the loss. However, he restrains himself from mourning openly to avoid letting his depression affect Yoshino. Renji hopes that Kirishima will protect Yoshino in hopes to not lose another important member of his family again.

Shouma has a bobbed hair with bangs long enough to sometimes cover one of his eyes. His eyes are narrow and brown. He has tattoos all over his shoulders and his back; the tattoos on his arms are in a koi fish pattern and are meant for good luck, while the one on his back is a dragon with cherry blossoms. He often wears long sleeves in order to cover up his tattoos.

He is very quiet generally but very talkative when with Yoshino. Back when Yoshino was a stranger to him, Shouma has already been negatively influenced, such as smoking, getting high on drugs and gets involved in fights at a very young age. He shows great hatred for his father, such as mercilessly almost murdering him. Now that they are together as adopted siblings, Shouma is highly protective of her, especially from people like Kirishima.
He is generally carefree and barely anything but Yoshino really affects his emotions. Shouma is often emotionless and regularly smokes, and one of the gags about him is how he is a glutton around food. He also hates Kirishima, and can trigger a fight only upon mentioning the latter's name.
Shouma studies in a university in Kyoto, and has a part time job as a waiter. He treats other girls in a very different way compared to how he treats Yoshino. He has tattoos going all the way down to his wrists, so he has to hide it with long sleeves whenever he is in a formal area.
Shouma's attitude without Yoshino is typically very apathetic and lazy in both work and studying, as his boss has to yell for him in order for him to serve his customers properly. He treats his customers very poorly, but especially the female customers seem to like his appearance so much that they don't get affected by it. He also rarely studies, but he knows that he might swing and somehow pass.

Inamouri has long black hair in which he has tie up. He also has friendlier, bright black eyes.

Inamouri is the Miyama chef, so obviously he is really good at cooking, and not only cooks for the gang, but for Yoshino as well. He knows her favorite type of bento. He also stated that he joined the group not long after Kirishima was sent to the care of Gaku.
He also knows brief information about Kirishima, despite never talking to him as much as Tachibana does. He also exposed a little about the latter to Yoshino, stating that he beaten up 20 guys once and giving every one of them broken bones since he was 12 years old.


Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii

The most distinct detail about Yoshino is her striking resemblance to her grandfather, Renji. According to most people, she is the spitting image of Renji when he was young and if he'd been a girl. Yoshino has large light brown eyes with visible upper lashes, she also sports violet (at times maroon) hair that extends to her shoulders in waves with bangs parted at the middle, usually she styles it when she's in school or when shopping. She regularly wears formal dresses when going out, but prefers wearing casual clothes or a kimono when at home.
Although Yoshino is considered beautiful, she often receives criticisms about it and had been called names such as "The hostess of Umeda" , "Mrs. Divorced with kids" and "Pretty face you get tired of in three days."

Despite growing up surrounded by yakuza men for most of her life, Yoshino grew up to be a fairly normal young woman. She is shown to be independent, responsible and very adaptable, being described by Miyama Kirishima as someone who would start making a home and get comfortable even when cornered, which is true as she was able to completely adjust to her new life in Tokyo.
Yoshino holds her pride close to her heart, claiming that without it, she would be considered dead. She also has a deep sense of loyalty to her family and dislikes any actions used to threaten them and their territory. This was shown when Kirishima insulted Shouma Toriashi and when he accidentally caused trouble in Osaka. Even though it's not often stated, it's obvious that Yoshino grew up somewhat spoiled.
Although calm in most situations, Yoshino can get agitated and flustered when teased by her grandfather or when confronted with Kirishima’s eccentric behavior. Because of her general distrust and paranoia, she often rejects Kirishima’s affections and would often be wary of his presence. However, they would still have a somewhat amicable and peaceful relationship due to Yoshino seeing Kirishima’s “love” for her as leverage while living in Tokyo.
Yoshino also possesses a very caring and nurturing side, as seen with her interactions with Shouma. She often worries about his studies at university and constantly reminds him about his part-time jobs. She is also very tolerant with Kirishima’s behavior and even reacts impassively towards the fact he’s seeing other women despite his claims of loving her. Even telling Kirishima that what he does in his own time is his own business and has nothing to do with her, considering that they were not dating at the time.
Both Shouma and Renji Somei often remarked that Yoshino has a “terrifying” temper that would often lead her to make rash and unpredictable decisions, which is proven true when she was so consumed by her anger with Kirishima that she had one of her kidneys (later revealed to be 1500 milliliters of blood) removed and risk leaving herself in a near-death state for two weeks. She also seems to be more intimidating and bold when angered as small glimpses of her domineering side slips out when pushed too far—a side of her that Kirishima seems to enjoy.

Yami no Matsuei

In both the anime and manga, Tsuzuki is tall and handsome young man with dark brown hair and violet eyes. His default outfit is a black suit paired with a black trench coat. Even he had a troubled past, he always manages to wear a smile and radiates a gentle aura.
In moments of desperation, he is depicted as a chibi, retaining a dog-like characteristics complete with ears and a tail and even dog paws.

Tsuzuki is a very good-natured, trustworthy, protective and loving person who can be very immature that he is often seen slacking off at work and whining. In the animated series, he has an insatiable sweet tooth. It is his belief that dessert is the best meal of the day. Tsuzuki is also shown in the manga of being an admirer of food in general, which tends to lead to extravagant and costly bills. Rare foods are sure to catch his interest, as he is seen later being bribed by Seiichiro Tatsumi with rare and expensive delicacies.
He also desires nothing more than to protect people. Even going so far as to prioritizing others safety and well being over his own. Tsuzuki would rather die than allow innocent people to get hurt. When given the task to kill overdue souls, it causes him much grief.
Below the surface, Tsuzuki nurses a deep fear of rejection and causing pain to others. On occasions, this has sent him into a dark spiral or prevented him from lashing back at his enemies.
Examples of these times are when: Sagatanas possesses Tsuzuki after preying on his inner turmoil. (See Devil's Trill). In another case, Kazutaka Muraki toys with Tsuzuki's desire to protect a high school girl; only to murder and mutate her for personal entertainment (See Kyoto File).
Like the usual protagonist, passionate and filled with a great sense of justice, Tsuzuki can be quick to promise those under his protection that they'll be safe and sound. Overall, he is a very lighthearted and gentle man, but he has been shown to possess a fiercer and protective side to his personality as well.

In the later chapters of the Kamakura/GenSouKai Arcs, it is shown that Enma-Daioh has a human form. He is a mysterious character with long black hair whose eyes are never shown.

Enma-Daioh appears to be a cool-headed ruler. He does not take well to betrayal amongst his followers. In particular passing swift judgement to attempt to stop Watari 's hacking into the Enma-Cho Mother Computer. He appears to have some sort cynical fondness for Tsuzuki stating that Tzuzuki was chosen as a shinigami to stay by his side. He is somewhat of a cruel ruler as he was highly upset of Tzuzuki's attempt to take his life again and "ruining" his plans.


Yami no Matsuei

Hisoka is shorter for his actual age, due to the fact he died when he was a teenager. He has a slender body build, dirty blond hair that is usually messy with strands hanging in his face, very pale skin and vivid emerald eyes. His usual attire is a jean jacket on top of a bright orange long-sleeved shirt, jeans and tennis shoes. Sometimes he changes into a formless pale red sweater, a loose zip up jacket with a baseball cap or a long jacket with a design on the collar.
In the manga, Hisoka appears in a range of casual clothes, usually all very modern, with a pair of sneakers. Though he does don a tuxedo for the ride aboard the Camellia, he seems to be very particular about wearing more modern things. The only time Hisoka wears traditional clothes is during his flashbacks to his life before he became a Shinigami, a tournament of the classic arts (manga only), or for his fight against Oriya Mibu (anime only). (In the manga, he was still in sneakers and modern street clothes.)

Hisoka tends to act cold and distant, keeping most people as far away form him as possible. This is due to a combination of his extremely strong powers as an Empath and his unfortunate, traumatic past.
Crowds get him easily overwhelmed due to the flood of emotions, though he often shies back and avoids people who exhibit stronger emotions. This, however, tends to hurt him (As seen during the Nagasaki Files, when Asato Tsuzuki grabs him) going so far as to make him physically nauseous and to experience pain through his body from the intensity. This power also extends somewhat into some form of telepathy as well during the King of Swords File, when he touches an unconscious Tsubaki Kakyouin . He then not only has an overload of her fearful emotions, but also seems to see an old memory of a Tsubaki and Eileen (Irene in the manga) meeting.
During his childhood, Hisoka was treated cruelly by his parents, who saw his powers as unnatural and treated him horribly due to their fear of him and lack of understanding toward his ability. Locked up often and distanced from others, Hisoka never had any friends or loving family members at all. In the manga, there is a flashback once to when Hisoka was a child, seeing another child reach out in an attempt to play with him, but it is revealed he had made up the child and memories to keep from being lonely.
He can become obsessive when Kazutaka Muraki is involved in their cases or mentioned. Since Dr. Muraki was the one who cursed him with the seal that killed him and violated him as well. The memories of that time and the curse haunt him, giving him a boiling anger toward the man. He wishes to become stronger to obtain his revenge against Muraki and to protect the people he cares for, especially Tsuzuki, since Muraki is after him for his own nefarious plots.
Tsuzuki and the various members of the ministry are the first real friends he ever really made in his life. Though he does attempt to get involved in activities, such as a Meifu-wide tournament between the regions, he has a little bit of a hard time figuring out just how to really interact with the others at first. Even when Hisoka travels to the Imaginary world and gets Riko (Hisoka's first Shiki), he has a hard time realizing how much of a bond or connection he really develops with him until he is struck down by Futsu (Kurikara's right-hand sword).
There are times even his own emotions get the better of him, leading him headfirst into danger. But despite this, he always comes out a little wiser and stronger every time.

Kazutaka Muraki has silver hair that covers his right eye, His left eye is silver and his right is is a false bluer-eye and slightly larger than his left eye and is mechanical. He wears square-rimmed glasses and usually a white trench-coat with a mauve shirt and black tie and white pants.

Muraki is a cruel man and expert manipulator who conducts illegal research to find a way to create an immortal body. He is a doctor and works as one publicly but privately conducts his illegal murderous research on the human body and immortality. Muraki is obsessed with Asato Tsuzuki but it is difficult to say if his interest is  a twisted romantic interest or a scientific interest that has a carnal twist to it. Almost every time Tsuzuki and Muraki encounter each other, Muraki tries to flirt with Tsuzuki, aggressively. Sometimes even touching Tsuzuki which gets a negative reaction from him.


Yami no Matsuei

Maria is a beautiful young woman with dark brown hair that is tied in a bun, amber eyes and a fine build. However, her appearance turns different once she is in Kazutaka Muraki 's control where he hair transforms into an ash white color and her eyes are a deep scarlet.

Maria is an innocent woman who strives to sing. When she is controlled by Kazutaka Muraki , she does not act as she was before, tending to be cold and heartless. Even though Asato Tsuzuki and Hisoka Kurosaki were able to free her from Muraki's grasp, she still remembers what she did and thus, is full of sorrow. It is clear that Maria did not mean to do any of these, as she was not able to subdue to Muraki's influence.
Even in regret, Maria was able to stand up and quickly overcame her fears, including that of she confronted her own stepmother.


Yami no Matsuei

He is very critical of wasting money and openly criticizes the management of the organization as a whole. As the secretary of the Summons division, his is to make sure everything is in order and in place, and often scolds Tsuzuki when he is late or slacking off at work. However, Tatsumi cares deeply for Tsuzuki and knows he is a good Shinigami. He often worries for Tsuzuki as he tends to wonder off to unknown places or when Tsuzuki isn't himself. He is very competitive or compliant when money is involved, as such extending his services at a cost (deliberately to Tsuzuki) which appears to have rubbed off onto Hisoka Kurosaki (who wanted to charge Kazutaka Muraki "one night, 5,000 Yen" for sleeping with Tsuzuki).

Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito

Kiriha is tall, has deep purple eyes, long dark hair with bangs over passing her eyebrows, clear white skin and carrying such an elegance that leaves many in awe but also carries a mysterious aura that leaves many wondering about her origins and personality. She is pretty like Erika but her cold personality doesn't help her socialize and make friends. In terms of appearance, she is on par with Erika Sendo, Erika being the bright and joyful Vice President whereas Kuze could be described as the dark and mysterious ice princess.
Kuze is mostly seen in the Shuchikan Academy school uniform (though rarely attends) with the exception of wearing long black tights whereas some prefer knee socks. She also ties a portion of her hair with a red ribbon on the side. During a free day off school, her casual clothes consist of a sleeveless blouse, dark purple jeans, a bracelet and a small necklace with a blue orb attached to it. She is also seen wearing the gym uniform (though never takes part in activities) but the majority of the series she just wears her uniform.

Being that Kuze is the most mysterious and quiet characters, very little is known about her past.

During the typical school-day, she rarely attends lessons and always shows up late and sometimes disappears during the middle of a school day. It is then shown that she spends a lot of time in an isolated field, behind a neck of woods, staring into space.
Kiriha Kuze doesn't consider herself as a 'human' as she is the servant of Kaya Sendo, the mother of Erika and Iori. She doesn't age and shares many vampire-like abilities, though doesn't require blood unlike the others. This may be the reason why Kuze is almost a mute as over the years she has forgot emotion and has been mentally abused by Kaya. It is likely that she never smiles or laughs in the whole series.
Through not attending lessons and lack of communication, she is incredibly smart and athletic though her weakness is technology and computers. Erika has been in competition in terms of math but to her dismay she can never get a higher mark than her.

As an adult, his appearance has notably aged but it retaining some key features such as the three cowlicks on his hair albeit muted and now wears a simpler dark-blue shirt vest over his cyan t-shirt.

Nate is a carefree person where his personality gains him many friends, while he enjoys being with them and the Yo-kai he befriended, even when they can be troublesome. However, one noticeable trait is how extremely average he is; this spreads even to his hobbies and school marks, which greatly annoys him. Like most kids, Nathan does basic things, like watching television, messing up his room, staying up late at night to watch television or play games. However, he is very righteous and has a strong sense of justice when a real crisis pops up.
Nathan's dynamic with his friends is somewhat influenced by the presence of Yo-kai on his life, when a Yo-kai influences the personality of one of his friends through inspiriting, he usually tries to confront said Yo-kai, most of the times with the help of a Yo-kai he has befriended, to get them to stop. That said, sometimes Nathan gets somewhat "in need" of a Yo-kai which is inspiriting his friends, and tries to get said Yo-kai to inspirit him, with less-than-positive results.
Most of the time, similarly, Nate gets inspirited by a Yo-kai, which gives a stained impression of him to his friends, but especially to Katie, as seen with Rockabelly , Dandoodle , Cheeksqueek , So-Sorree , among several other cases. Nate also goes through many attempts to be more than just an average person, such as getting the attention of Katie as a soulmate, rather than just a friend, as he has a crush on her. Most of his efforts almost always tend to come off as comedic towards everyone else, which causes great embarrassment towards him and his friends.
