**Yukio Okumura** (奥村 雪男, *Okumura Yukio*) is one of the main characters of the series. He is Rin's younger, fraternal twin brother. A straight arrow and kind-hearted by nature, he is the youngest person to ever pass the Exorcist qualification exam, attaining a Meister in Doctor and Dragoon, and later becomes a teacher at True Cross Academy, where he ironically ends up teaching his older brother in the ways of the Exorcist.

## Description

### Appearance

Yukio has teal eyes and dark brown hair. His most notable trait is two moles under his left eye and another one under his mouth. He is sometimes worried about his moles. Beginning in the Kyoto Impure King arc, Yukio's eyes sometimes shift to look the same as Rin and Satan's. Following the events of the Of One Cloth arc, the iris of Yukio's left eye is a bright bluish white. Because of the attention he gets from girls, he is considered to be fairly attractive.

In the first anime adaptation that splits from the manga at Chapter 13, Yukio gains a black mark on the underside of his left arm that slowly spreads throughout his body. This culminates in him awakening his own demonic powers in Episode 22, leading to similar features as his brother (slightly pointed ears and sharper canines in human form, long ears and fangs in demon form).

As of the last episode, Yukio's mark has spread all the way down past his elbow.

In the anime, since awakening his Demonic powers in episode 22, Yukio now possesses the same Demonic features as his brother, Rin, when in their human form (e.g. the slightly pointed ears and sharper canines). When in his Demon form, he too has a blue flame, elf-like ears, and fangs.

### Personality

At first glance, Yukio is reserved, calm, and professional. He is frequently described as the opposite of his bold and brash older brother. He is studious, punctual, and frequently criticizes Rin for failures in classwork and protocol. Yukio is very serious, a personality trait that Shura Kirigakure calls a risk in their profession. He is also fond of gag manga. He does not like parties, preferring to go on a mission. Although he is friendly and polite to strangers, Yukio is argumentative and critical with his family and friends (particularly Rin and Shura) and cold and threatening with his enemies. Yukio frequently uses deception to gain the upper-hand over stronger opponents.

Internally, Yukio is deeply self-loathing and becomes self-destructive. Ashamed of how he was once a shy and fearful child who cried a lot, he envied Rin and Shiro for their strength and courage as much as he loved them. He resents losing and what he perceives as his own weakness, a sense of vulnerability amplified in confrontations with Saburota Todo, Lucifer, Renzo Shima, and Lewin Light. Yukio acts increasingly violent, demanding information from Ryuji Suguro at gunpoint and shoving Shiemi Moriyama to the ground. Yukio has also nearly killed himself multiple times, including three instances where he endangered his own life in various attempts to understand the power behind his eyes, one attempted suicide interrupted by Satan, and deliberately provoking near-fatal conflicts with Rin.

Yukio's determination to seek self-destruction comes to a head in a brutal physical fight with Rin, resolving with an honest heart-to-heart between the siblings. Yukio has since calmed and decided that he needs to learn to forgive himself.
