Yuuki
CharacterYuuki is a nine-year-old boy who strikes up a friendship with Hinami Fueguchi and quietly grows fond of her. Awkward with words but warm at heart, he becomes her reading companion and one of the few children who treats her simply as a friend.
Appearance
Yuuki is drawn as a small child whose most notable trait is his reddish brown hair.
Personality
Saying what he means comes hard to Yuuki, and his first meeting with Hinami goes badly precisely because a blunt remark slips out before he can soften it. Underneath that clumsiness he is a gentle, shy boy, and once the initial fumble passes he proves genuinely kind toward her.
He also has a partial understanding of his father's work, aware to some degree that Yanagi hunts ghouls for a living.
