Yosuke Hirata

Yosuke exudes a very mature and friendly atmosphere in the presence of others and rarely gets angry. His warm nature has led to most of the class members recognizing him as their representative. He gained the trust of the class and also caught the attention of many girls. Particularly Kei Karuizawa, where he accepted a relationship with her to help protect her from any bullying that might arise over Kei. After she shared her past with him, he empathized and knew that she was afraid of her traumatic experience in middle school, and thus he allowed her to use her reputation as an extra precaution against bullies.

Hirata often exudes his thoughtful personality. For example, he covered for Kiyotaka Ayanokoji after he found Kei's underwear in his possession, believing his explanation that he was not a thief, as he would not have done so despite not knowing him well or having evidence to prove otherwise.
He demonstrates adequate leadership and diplomatic skills, as shown in the survival test where he managed to get everyone to agree to a consensus after a brief argument over position and points by voicing his opinion.

Despite all the positive qualities he displays in his class, he can be quite prone to cracking under pressure, as shown when he was terrified after the survival guide was burned and was so stunned that he couldn't understand what caused it. He only snapped out of it when he heard Kiyotaka state that his class was asking for help and needed him to give them orders
