== Charactah Account ==
Yuu is a first-year student at Shuchi'in and the treasurer of the student council. Incredibly unlucky, depressed and cynical, he lives his days scared of Kaguya.
Yuu is a reserved and somewhat gloomy student who would rarely show up to the student council meetings, preferring to do most of his work at home. He normally spends most of his time playing video games by himself, as he is generally be disliked by the other students due to an incident that occurred in his past.
Yuu has an incredibly cynical and depressing outlook on life, often going on long rants against youth and the other students who he refers to as “normies”. This discontent very obviously comes from his own misery and loneliness as he seems very jealous of the guys who are popular and manage to get themselves a girlfriend. Yuu can be quite awkward at times, making statements that cause others to see him as a creep. That being said, he is quite snarky and is often the one to make sarcastic remarks pertaining to the situations he gets in.

== Trivia ==
* Yuu's long bangs serve as a physical barrier for him to not have to see things he doesn't want to and are also a manifestation of his fear of others.
** Due to his bangs, Yuu's left eye is seldom (not often; rarely) seen. However, his left eye was shown during the sports festival in Episode 23.
* Yuu was terribly afraid of Kaguya Shinomiya and feared that she might one day kill him.
* Yuu once suggested taxing couples a happiness tax, certain fandoms started jokingly refer to his romantic relationships as taxes.
* Yuu once stated that he was a jock back in middle school.
* Yuu has a keen sense of problem-solving, as shown by him solving the mystery of why Nagisa Kashiwagi was mad at Tsubasa Tanuma several times.
* Yuu's LINE icon is an anime character.
* Yuu used to wear briefs but switched to boxers after being embarrassed by Chika Fujiwara.
* Yuu is a genius when it comes to analyzing and processing data but he fails in exams horribly. It is due to the fact after he was forced to write a letter to Ko he could not and stayed at home all the way to high school. Staying at home still had an effect on his studies.
* Yuu's mother is a florist.
* In the first 72 chapters of the series, Yuu's speech bubbles have a rough edge like most of the other male characters in the series. From Chapter 73 on, his speech bubbles can be described as boxes with rounded corners, which probably indicates that the author decided on Yu having a smoother/softer but still somewhat masculine voice from that point onward.
* Yuu plays Crypto in Apex Legends and is in the Diamond tier of its Ranked Leagues.
** Yuu's squad composition of Crypto, Revenant, and Wraith was popular during Season 5 of Apex Legends. Coincidentally, Season 6 of Apex Legends launched around the same time the chapter came out and directly nerfed the synergy between Crypto, Revenant, and Wraith.
* As much as he is a shut-in, Yuu has some intelligence and he even has a bit of a temper the minute something seems off.
* Yuu shares his birthday with Chika.
* Yuu made a reference to The Shawshank Redemption in Episode 32.
* Yuu's favorite flower is Sultera, the same type he gifted Miko Iino.
* Yuu has shown by far the biggest improvement in grades throughout the manga, going from 197th place at the start, to 8th place at the end.
