Name[]
His surname uses the kanji for "Near" and "Lead". Just like Aichi Sendou, Chrono Shindou, and Izuru Shidou before him, Yuyu is the fourth protagonist whose surname uses 導 (Dou).
Appearance[]
Yu-yu is a young man with short dark blue hair, fair skin and purple eyes. He is commonly wearing a green and white jacket with black jeans and brown, laced boots. When cross-dressing, he wears a honey blond wig with a black headband on his head, a white and green vintage dress with a black ribbon on the chest and a pair of dark green shoes with low heels. He has also worn a female student uniform from Raika Academy similar to Megumi’s, consisting of a dark pink blazer, white blouse, grey vest, pink bow, a knee-length dark grey maxi skirt, and shoes with low heels.
In will+Dress, his signature green and white jacket changes to a cropped, unzipped red and black jacket, with a similar pattern along the chest and arms to his overDress appearance. He wears a white shirt, black jeans, and red zip-up boots with gray socks.
Personality[]
He is shy and stammers often. According to him, he is easily pushed around by his sisters who end up teasing him or forcing him to dress as a girl in public (to which many men find him attractive). It isn't until he starts playing Vanguard that he gets some backbone and being more open about how he feels. Despite this, he is still weak willed to a degree.
Abilities[]
According to the synopsis, Yu-yu has the ability to read the heart of other individuals. In the past, he was unable to assert himself and faced issues as a result (such as being unable to deny his sisters when they forced him to crossdress), but since joining Team Blackout, he has grown to stand up for himself and the team in various ways. For example, in his battle against Tohya in overDress season 1, he desperately fought to protect Blackout's banner from being burned while Danji was away. When Tohya inherits leadership of Team Blackout from Danji at the beginning of season 2, Yu-yu takes initiative to help Tohya regain trust from the team, despite Tohya's past actions. This leads all the way up to his battle against Mirei at Nagoya Castle, where he is able to read Mirei's emotions and break her cold exterior to speak to her troubled heart through Trickstar (who had been her partner in the past). In will+Dress, he has even grown to the point of taking up the position of Blackout's leader.
