(2)You

**(2)You**

## **Appearance**

Yuu has short, wavy black hair that reaches just past his ears, his bangs are in the middle and cover his forehead. He has mercury-gold eyes.

## **Personality**

Yuu is often casted under the shadow of his parents, namely his father was a guitarist and also a close friend of Climax Records' president, and his idol mother. He disproves of the claims that the paparazzi's make, saying that most of Jet Rat Fury's success were all independent.

## **History**

Yuu started his career in an idol group called "Sparks" after his dad's persuading, but left for unknown reasons and caused a major drama that made it onto the news. This is implied to have happened when he was in high school.

When he was 17, he worked at a live house despite the minimal age requirement being 18, and encountered JIN, who was also in the same situation as him. Although Yuu lied about his age at first, he admitted he was the same age after Jin said he was 17.

Later on, he and Jin became good friends. One day, Jin invited Yuu over to his house, and offered to start a band with him after being impressed by his singing voice when they went to karaoke together once. At first, Yuu said he wanted to think about it, but agreed in the end.

Afterwards, Jin introduced Yuu to KAITO, who was working part-time at a convenience store when they met. However, unlike Jin, Kaito recognized Yuu from the news revolving Sparks, and dragged Jin away to tell him, which Yuu interrupted. After talking about how his own efforts would always be overcast by his parents' career to the duo, Kaito emphasized with him, as Kaito's older brother was a guitarist playing in a major band, which was also unknown to Jin. The three talked it out after Kaito finished his part-time job, and KOH4 joined the band after.

When JET RAT FURY first made their debut, all of them wore masks to prevent Yuu's identity from being blown, though he himself said there's a possibility that fans of Sparks would probably recognize his voice. At some unknown point in time, they decided to start performing without masks. In season 7, the band decided to include their masks in the album cover.

## **Notes**

His band Jet Rat Fury is also known as Jet.

He calls his fans "Rat-chan".

He and Ciel are friends. And after he left to America, he mentions that Ciel left a 'task' for him to finish in his stead.
