Yuuichirou Hyakuya

Yuuichirou Hyakuya, also known as Demon-Boy, King of Salt, Stupid Yuu, The Devil, Yuu, Yuuichirou Amane and Yuuichirou Hyakuya, is the main protagonist from the Seraph of the End series.
== Charactah Account ==
Yuuichirou is a member of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army as well as Shinoa Hiiragi's squad in the Moon Demon Company. He, along with Mikaela Hyakuya and a few others, possesses the "seraph" gene, which is relevant to the forbidden taboo and the focal point of the story, "Seraph of the End".
Up until his teen years, Yuuichirou started off as moody and antisocial due to the tragedies in his life. As a young child, he saw himself as a demon that no one would love, yet he still held out hope of finding something good in this world. At first, Yuuichirou wanted nothing to do with Mika and the other Hyakuya orphans and even challenged Mika to a fight.
Shortly after though, when Mika puts Yuuichirou in charge of watching over the kids alongside him and Akane, Yuuichirou took on the role of the aloof, yet kindhearted older brother. After losing them, Yuuichirou reverted back to being a moody antisocial rebel with a thirst for revenge against the vampires that killed his family for another four years.

== Trivia ==
* The name Yuuichirou means "excellence, superiority, gentleness" (yuu), "one" (ichi) and "son" (rou), where translates as "kind first son."
** Yuuichirou's parents spelled it with the kanji for "gentle" in the hopes that he would grow up to always be kind and gentle to whomever he met. Mahiru believes this idea is ludicrous for anyone less than a god.
** Due to Yuuichirou's name, it is considered a pun when other characters say Yu is kind. Kindness is also considered one of Yuuichirou's actual primary character traits.
* Yuuichirou was one of the first characters designed, along with Mikaela and Guren.
* Yuuichirou is the only member of Shinoa's Squad who does not have a known biological sister. Shinoa has Mahiru, Yoichi has Tomoe Saotome, and Kimizuki has Mirai.
* In the Michaela light novels, Mika asks Yuuichirou what his surname was, but Yuuichirou can no longer remember that his name was Yuuichirou Amane and solely goes by Yuuichirou Hyakuya.
* When Yuuichirou first forms a contract with Asuramaru, it is revealed that 1/10th of him is not human. He becomes even less human in chapter 34 after overdosing on curse stimulant pills. At the end of chapter 40, he chooses to erase his humanity completely.
* Since Yuuichirou lived in a vampire city for four years where as livestock under the vampires where he was not educated, Yu is nearly illiterate and only writes phonetically without using any Kanji.
* Yuuichirou offers his blood three times before he finally convinces Mika to bite him in chapter 36 so the first vampire Yu is bitten by is Mika.
