Yū Otosaka

Yū Otosaka is one of the two main protagonists (alongside Nao Tomori) of the the anime and manga series Charlotte.
He was voiced by in Japanese and in English.
==Personality==
He also begins to develop feelings for Nao, though he never directly says it until later on.  
During the events of Charlotte, Yū ultimately overcomes his selfish nature completely; despite his initial fears, he attempts to rescue Nao and Kumagami from a group of foreign terrorists who want to use him for their own goals. Later, Yū is saddened when he learns of Kumagami's death, and he feels responsible for it.  
Throughout the story, Yū alters the toll of his capabilities and the perpetual hazards he confronts. Indications of PTSD surface, hindering his sleep. During rare moments of rest, he sleepwalks, targeting both enemy ability users and innocent civilians. Gaps in memory appear, leaving him unable to recall his past or goals. Nao fades from memory, but their promise remains. Fear of death diminishes, either due to his self-saving abilities or emotional numbing. Transforming into the "One-Eyed Grim Reaper," he seemingly forgets his own name, delighting in the plundering of abilities. While briefly reverting to his past narcissistic, ability-exploiting self, he abandons this mindset when Nao's flashcards stir regret and a determination to honor his forgotten promise. Plundering abilities with minimal emotion, occasional anger surfaces against foes. At journey's end, he becomes a mere shell, nearly devoid of feeling, even when pierced by three arrows. Despite this, he spares the final ability user's life, directing her to safety after taking her courage, thereby completing his mission.
