**Yuuki Izumi** (和泉 (いずみ)  幽希 (ゆうき) , *Izumi Yūki*?) is the main protagonist of the *Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie* series. He is the son of Akisada Izumi and Motoko Izumi and the boyfriend of Miyako Shikimori.

## Appearance

Izumi has shiny dark purple hair with long fringes parting between his eyes and purple eyes. He has a slim figure and has little muscles, which he sweats easily. He has a scar on the right side of his forehead which he got when a truck hit their house, as well as another scar on his upper left arm. It's stated by his father that Yuuki has a lot of other small wounds that have mostly healed, and wounds that remain as scars.

He is often seen wearing the school uniform.

## Personality

Izumi is a very kind-hearted, sweet, nice, clumsy and timid guy who adores his girlfriend. He has extreme misfortune and often gets injured by seemingly unreasonable accidents. Despite this, he's shown to be optimistic and always sees things in a positive light. He's very honest, and would praise a lot whenever his friends or girlfriend accomplish feats. He loves cool women and thus loves Shikimori's cool side. He is described as a herbivore in the manga. He is good at housework and cooking and helps his mom as much as he can. He is usually passive about things, but he is very active when it comes to Miyako.

Deep down, however, he's still insecure about his misfortune causing him to be wary of his environment. On the other hand, he's able to let go of those insecurities to have fun with his friends mainly his girlfriend.

He rarely cries in regards to his misfortune, though reminiscing about cheering for a sports team is one of the few things that brings him to tears as they usually end up losing.

## Background

When Izumi was a child, he used to get hurt all the time due to his misfortune making his parents worry about him. But ever since he started going out with Shikimori, his daily injuries have decreased and now he lives a happy life. For once during middle school, he lied one time because of his misfortune causing him to miss out on his first school study tour.

## Trivia

* He's knowledgeable when it comes to constellations.
* He's able to cook without his misfortune affecting it. This is due to him always helping his parents around the house.
* He's good at sewing, but when distracted (especially when it comes to Miyako), he stabs his fingers without noticing.
* He easily gets sunburnt or sick.
	+ It's stated he has zero sunlight tolerance.
* He's extremely ticklish, especially on his back and his ears turn noticeably red.
* He owns a black cat as a family pet.
* He has kissed Shikimori twice, once on the cheek and again later on the lips.
* Due to another symptom of his bad luck, the teams he cheers for in sports usually end up failing.
	+ It is also one of the few instances of his bad luck that brings him to tears.
