Yukiteru Amano

## Voices

**Yukiteru Amano** (天野 雪輝, *Amano Yukiteru*) is the First Diary Holder and in possession of the "Observance/Indiscriminate Diary", also called as the "Random Diary" in the anime. He is the love interest of Yuno Gasai and Aru Akise.

## Appearance

Yukiteru is a boy of middle-school age, with black hair and blue eyes. He is usually seen wearing a beanie, shorts with a holster for his throwing darts, an overcoat, and a black turtleneck with a zipper. He also wears boots with white socks.

## Personality

Yukiteru is most well known for his timid personality, becoming tearful and distressed in response to traumatic situations. He also has a tendency to cower in battle, usually relying on Yuno for protection. He lacks confidence and is usually submissive to confrontation. He is well aware of and fears Yuno's insanity regarding him, but has a strong desire to keep her sane, often forgiving her for her mistakes and keeping her from murdering others.

Initially, Yukiteru has little desire to become a god, trying to form alliances with other diary holders and mainly fighting out of self-defense. After the deaths of his parents, however, he decides to begin playing the game in earnest, wanting to revive his parents if he becomes god, becoming more vicious, cunning, and willing to kill. The latter trait is shown when he does not try to stop Nishijima's death during the assault on the Eleventh and when he kills the Eighth's followers despite an alliance with her. He also becomes more trusting of Yuno, to the point where he disbelieves Hinata, Mao, and Kosaka's claims that she is lying to him about a god's ability to revive the dead; following "confirmation" that they're planning to betray him, he shoots them in cold blood. Nonetheless, Yukiteru retains some of his previous kindness behind his newfound ruthless streak; he wishes to win the Survival Game specifically to revive everyone who died along the way, and tries to stop Aru and Yuno from fighting each other on his behalf.

After Aru's death and final message, Yukiteru's trust in Yuno decreases, but he tries to love her as best he can. He refuses to kill her to become god despite their earlier arrangement.

Interestingly, flashbacks from the First World indicate that Yukiteru was braver and less cowardly than his second-world self. It is implied by Muru Muru that Yukki was weak in the Second World because he was pampered and fiercely protected by First World's Yuno all the time.
