==Personality==
Yuzuru has a calm and polite demeanor. He is skilled at taking care of others, and genuinely enjoys activities like housework that others would find bothersome. Since he is used to following orders, he is still learning who he truly is and what he wants.
Overall, he has a caring personality, and appears to have had one since a young age.Gang - Midnight Gangster 5 He can get restless when he is not allowed to help others. He enjoys cooking healthy meals for the people he cares aboutYuzuru Fushimi - Idol Story 3, and has recently picked up gardeningTori Himemiya - Idol Story 2 to keep himself busy. While he appears to enjoy drawing, he has no genuine artistic talent – even his most innocent drawings tend to be misunderstood as demons or monsters.Toyland - Chapter 6 Midori, who has a love for ugly-cute things, is a big fan of his pieces.
He has a phobia of dogs, which makes taking care of the Himemiya family’s dog, King, quite troublesome. He apparently used to be a crybaby, and he still tears up easily whenever Tori is successful or expresses affection towards him.
According to Wataru, Yuzuru’s interest in keeping things tidy and clean may be a way for him to feel in control, a hint to a more arrogant personality beneath the surface. Yuzuru appears to confirm this hypothesis.Milky Way - Fall of a Great Star 3 He is protective of Tori and Tori’s younger sister, as well as his juniors. This can sometimes make him overbearing – for example, he goes as far as personally censoring Tori’s manga.Agents - Christmas Eve's Secret Detective 4 Hints towards his military past can sometimes seep through in his everyday behavior, causing some characters to be intimidated by the reactions he has in tense situations, or by the uncharacteristic bloodlust-like excitement he displays in times of danger or conflict.
Yuzuru’s polite and detached way of speaking is a result of his upbringing as a butler, and he finds this way of speaking easier compared to casual speech, since he got used to it at a young age.Revenge Match - Villain 5 He's mentioned that a servant's demeanor has been drilled into his head since a young age, and as a result, he does not know how to enjoy himself the way other people his age do during his free time. He often finds himself completely disoriented about what to do when he's not taking care of Tori.
Due to his profession, Yuzuru tends to put a certain distance between himself and others, and seems to be afraid of closing said distance. His attachment to Tori and his worrywart tendencies used to get in the way of his social life; however, he has since begun expressing more vulnerability around others and making friends outside of ToriSummer, Ice Pop, the Student Council, as well as building a more genuine and balanced friendship with Tori himself.
When particularly emotional, especially around Tori, he can regress to a sort of “baby talk” and refer to himself in third person. His formal speech often hides snarky, flippant remarks, especially around people he finds unpleasant or annoying, or people he is close to.
==Etymology==
The name Yuzuru means "bowstring" (弓弦), befitting of his membership in the archery club. However, it is also a homophone for a verb (譲る) that means "to yield". Yuzuru's surname Fushimi means "prone, prostrated, bend down, bow, cover, lay (pipes)" (伏) (fushi) and "see, hopes, chances, idea, opinion, look at, visible" (見) (mi). It also contains the stem of the verb "to bow down" (伏す). These are a fitting connection to his role as a butler.

==Voice Actor Comment==
"Yuzuru-kun gives off the impression of your archetypal butler, and he always seems to hold his head up high, but at the same time, he's not so perfect that he can do everything, and he's also a cute boy with these little things about him that may make your heart skip a beat.
Since he's a butler, it goes without saying that he serves a master. His master is an adorable little rich boy, so adorable that you can't help stealing a second look at him, so I hope you will check out Yuzuru-kun's relationship with his master as well. I've heard that the characters will speak when you touch them, so please be sure to interact with both Yuzuru-kun and his young master! I hope you will regard them both kindly." (Enstars!)
"Grateful that I get to continue to connect with everyone through Yuzuru!"Commemorative Release Message (Enstars!!)
