Yukito Mutsuki

Yukito introduced in Chapter 1 of Kara no Kioku.

**Yukito Mutsuki** ( 睦月幸人, *Mutsuki Yukito*) is a friend of Rei Tsukumo in the *Kara no Kioku* manga.

## Personality

Yukito appears to be very timid and has social anxiety when interacting with his peers and fears being bothersome. He expresses himself through his drawings, cherishes them, and uses his art to communicate with others. In the past, someone he trusted tore apart his precious drawings, which made him feel traumatized and betrayed. It resulted in him being afraid of showing his drawings to anyone to avoid the same humiliation he experienced before. One of his classmates, Rei Tsukumo, eased this trauma by complimenting one of his drawings he accidently dropped. He felt really happy about it and opened up more to Rei. Over time he seems to become more confident as well as opening up to people.

## Appearance

Yukito has purple hair, a little fluffy and wavy with bangs, light pale skin, he has big light red or blue eyes. He has small freckles below his eyes. His attire consists of a typical high school uniform.

And when talking to people he has a bit of a curved posture and grabs his bag.

## History

When he was a kid, he had a great capacity for drawing, he felt like drawing was a way to express his feelings rather than with words. When people complimented his drawing he became extremely happy. But then it seems someone didn’t like his drawings and ripped them in front of him. Because of this he stopped showing his drawings to people, to avoid getting hurt. Later Rei and Yukito eat together when they talk a bit about his problem, and then asks Rei to be his friend. He replies with a yes. At some point Yukito was able to see zingai, but because he suddenly stop seeing them he thought he was just hallucinating.

## Plot

He appears in chapter 1, when a classmate tried to have a conversation between Yukito and Rei, but he fled, and later reflected on him running away, and in Rei's face, which he felt he had already seen. Later he drops a drawing, Rei finds it and compliments it he becomes extremely happy, making him give it to him and thinks it would be nice talking to him again. Later they met again in school and he apologized and showed him his drawings, but when the spiked-hair boy saw one, he immediately snwtcher from his hands and ran away. (Til chapter 5)
During the next days he had lots of time to talk to rei, and when Rei risked his exam he suggested to study together. He then invites Rei to his favorite store, and Nagi joins in and learns about a bit of the Zingai.

## Relationships

### Rei Tsukumo

Rei is one of Yukito's first friends in high school. They are in the same class. On the first day of school, Yukito recognized Rei as someone he met before but he could not remember. They became more open to one another when Rei complimented one of his drawings. He told Rei to keep his drawing, a way to express his trust. The next day, he showed more of his drawings to Rei and he explained why he feels insecure when showing them to others. Rei is fine with it and does not show any contempt. Since then they have become close friends.

### Spiked-hair boy
