𝐘𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐤𝐢¹

Personality: He is a quiet and reserved boy, though he becomes more talkative when discussing things that deeply upset him. His close friends describe him as reserved and prone to suppressing his thoughts, even when they are clearly reflected on his face. He is not good at talking about himself. According to the adults around him, his appearance and behavior "cast a bit of a shadow over the town." Although Yoshiki has friends with whom he spends time regularly, he feels disconnected and stifled by the people of his town to the point of wanting to leave or hide to avoid others interfering in his life.

Yoshiki is having a very hard time getting over the death of his best friend. This is evident mainly in his decision to accept the creature that possessed Hikaru's body in order to resume his normal life with him. He also often sadly recalls his time with Hikaru and dreams about him. Finding Hikaru's body on the mountain has caused him insomnia. Because of his inability to let go, Yoshiki continues to keep "Hikaru" even knowing the danger this poses to himself and the harm "Hikaru" has caused to others. Yoshiki tends to think negatively and become depressed, but his decision to keep "Hikaru" exacerbates this tendency.

Despite his general dislike for the village, Yoshiki still feels affection for some of its inhabitants, primarily his family and Hikaru, and wishes to protect them. He feels responsible for Hikaru's actions, which often translates into guilt and self-criticism, as he believes his decision to stay with Hikaru was entirely selfish and a way to ease his own pain, rather than helping someone else.

Appearance: Yoshiki is 175 centimeters tall and wears a shoe size of 27.5 cm. He has short, straight, black hair with long bangs that easily cover his eyes. After cutting his hair, his bangs fall above his eyebrows. He has three moles on his face: one under his right eye, one on his left cheek, and one below the left corner of his lip.

He is often depicted in his school uniform, which consists of black trousers and a white button-down shirt, with dark blue-gray trainers. Otherwise, he usually wears short-sleeved T-shirts and casual shorts.
