== Charactah Account ==
Yuuto is the school prince of Kuoh Academy and Issei's self-proclaimed best friend. He was the lone survivor of a failed project which used a group of children to wield holy swords, and swore revenge on those who disposed of him and his friends.
Yuuto is overall an upbeat person and cares deeply for his comrades. He's also a very polite and friendly individual, even considering Issei's initial dislike towards him. As a Knight, he has pride, chivalry, dignity, and honor befitting one, and is shown to enjoy fighting fellow swordsmen like Karlamine.
Initially, Yuuto had a deep hatred towards the Holy Swords or its wielders. But the efforts of the Occult Research Club members during Volume 3, and the souls of his deceased friends, who died earlier being victims of the Holy Sword Project, helped him overcome his drive for vengeance, making him more acceptable of the Holy Swords.
