**Yugo Akamatsu** (湯ご 赤松 *Akamatsu Yugo*) also known a **Yuyu** (ゆゆ *Yu Yu*) by his childhood friends or by his vigilante name **Byakko** (白虎 *Byakko*). He is the childhood friend and aide of Lysithea Demetriou. He is a student in U.A. High School's Department of Support from Class 1-H. Alongside Lysithea, he is a vigilante.

## Appearance

He is a tall, young man with small blue and lime green eyes. Yugo has medium length silvery like hair with bangs and he sometimes has his left fringe behind his left ear during the midst of a skirmish on the battlefield.

He wears the usual U.A. uniform but without the blazer and tie. His casual grey-brown dress pants with a black belt. It's worn with a white v-neck long sleeve with a brown trench coat.

For his vigilante costume he wears a military-like uniform.. He now has an aiguillette worn on the right shoulder with a crescent moon decoration below his collar. His uniform features four badges: the first three are stripes with the top being red, the second bearing white stripe, and the third being a green, red, and white; and below that is a gold badge with the Akamatsu crest. Along with that, he wears a two white stripe, one black stripe armband on his left arm, a white web belt with a gold waist-plate, and black shoes instead of the knee-high boots.

## Personality

Yugo is a sarcastic, straight-forward young man who strives to protect Lysithea at all costs. He is self-sacrificing, both physically and emotionally, when it comes to her well being, as well as incredibly loyal to those he respects and obeys. Yugo has been shown to have a mischievous streak as well, often teasing Lysithea and his other childhood friends, as well as a "having a habit" of being a bully who enjoys branding some of their other companions with mocking nicknames, like "White Snake". Despite this, he is serious whenever it comes to his job. His professionalism extends to a point where he even addresses Lysithea formally by their status.

When it comes to his feelings for Lysithea, Yugo destroys his impulses every time they surface, even though it hurts to do so. There are times that he will show his affection with teasing, but not much beyond that. However, when someone (usually Adele Demetriou) questions the emotional distance between Yugo and Lysithea, Yugo loses his composure and can become territorial around the "princess". He seems cold around Lysithea at first but slowly reveals that he cares deeply for her. Yugo has been in love with Lysithea since childhood, but never confessed out of respect for his position. Because of that, he's had more of a brother-sister relationship with her.

Yugo is shown to be a gentle and cool man. He does not get angry easily, even when being insulted by Katsuki Bakugo. He is seen smiling pleasantly all the time, even in tough spots, shown in the battle of Shie Hassaikai. He has a lighthearted and breezy personality, often joking around Lysithea, and seems to be relaxed even during missions.

Yugo is shown to be very loyal to his friends, such as joining Lysithea in the Shie Hassaikai Arc, despite recognizing that it is a suicide mission. He is shown to put a lot of trust in his closest friends, such as Lysithea. Along with that, unlike most Akamatsu, he lacks any superiority complex, as he has been seen to treat others kindly and politely.

A trait that Yugo possesses is that he is very observant and perceptive, picking out tiny reactions on Lysithea's face and is able to easily grasp the latter's emotions. He also is able to piece together an idea on what Lysithea is hiding just by observing his movements and facial expressions.

However, Yugo's lighthearted personality and his charming smile is only a facade, a defense mechanism. Since he was put in an arena-styled environment as a child, where young boys have to battle to death, he began to mask his fears and insecurities in order to help him endure the harsh training. Yugo's constant smile is also there to fool adversaries into letting their guards down, so he could strike at the right moment. Once his mask is gone, he is shown to be more blunt and even somewhat masochistic.

## Abilities

### Natural Abilities

**Endurance**: One of his more defining attributes is his stalwart heartiness, first shown when enduring a bite from a venomous snake when protecting Lysithea once when they were kids. That being said, this may be mostly due to his determination to live and protect Lysithea.

**Basic Medical Skills**: Though not as good as Recovery Girl, Yugo has shown to have a basic knowledge of medicine. He was able to remove snake poison from his system, and he shows Lysithea how to remove the thorns and disinfect the cuts she received from the practical exam.

**Charisma**: Wherever Yugo goes he reaches people's hearts and makes them want to follow him. Lysithea said "Yugo does draw in all kinds of people. That's how it always have been."

**Political and military knowledge**: Yugo is able to read military situations and understands political schemes.

### Quirk

**Byakkomaru** (白虎丸 *Byakkomaru*, lit. "White Tiger"): A manifestation-type demon weapon from the Demon Gear series. It takes on the form of a black rifle with a glowing green streak down the middle. Byakkomaru's specialty is long-range firing and it is not very effective in close-range combat. While so, the tigers are fired and created in flames from out of the rifle.

Yugo can fire bullets which can split and then manifest into several white tigers. Each tiger can move independently, as if they have a will of their own. Applying the demon to the bullets increases its power and range. Yugo can additionally fire at something and make the tigers come from behind whatever he shot at, but he can only do this once within an unspecified amount of time as a surprise attack.
