Battler Ushiromiya

Battler Ushiromiya, also known as Tohya Hachijo, is the main protagonist from the Umineko no Naku Koro ni series.
== Charactah Account ==
Battler is the eighteen-year-old son of Rudolf and his first wife Asumu, and is generally considered to be the main protagonist of the series. He is extremely stubborn, and is afraid of "shaky" transportation, fearing he might fall off a boat. At first glance, he appears to be hotheaded, cocky, and even a little perverted (given the fact that he tries to grope young ladies and even his cousin Jessica several times). However, he has a heart of gold he isn't afraid to show when the situation calls for it.
Battler is also an extremely rational young man, and has an extreme talent for deductive reasoning and thinking outside the box, described as "flipping the chessboard" so that he may be able to predict the moves and motives of his opponents. Because of this, he does not believe in witches or magic. This causes some conflict with his cousin Maria, who has immersed herself in studies of the occult and believes strongly in witches, especially the Golden Witch Beatrice.

== Trivia ==
* Battler means "warrior".
* When Ryukishi07 was designing Battler, he was partly inspired by the character Phoenix Wright from the Ace Attorney games and gave him a pointing pose similar to Phoenix's own.
* Ryukishi07's later work, Rose Guns Days, features the character Philip Butler who is very similar to Battler in terms of appearance and personality.
* Battler wears his cape much earlier in the manga, which materialized the moment he became a sorcerer in End of the Golden Witch.
* According to one of Ryukishi07's twitter posts, Battler's favorite sport is dodgeball.
* According to another Twitter post, Ryukishi suggests that Battler's new surname after he abandoned the Ushiromiya name was Akinaka, taking after Asumu. "Akinaka" can be read as "August 15th".
