Yūji was initially a subtly shrewd but indecisive person. He is easygoing, kind, sociable, compassionate, and puts the well-being of others before his own. This drew much confusion and annoyance from Shana, as prior Torches from Shana's experience exhibited selfish attitudes. However, he is far from a pushover; he took being considered a mere 'thin...
Yuji's past life is something which he describes as ordinary. He said, "My life wasn't filled with hope, yet it wasn't hopeless either". It was until his fateful encounter with Shana. His mother, Chigusa, is a regular housewife while his father Kantaro was in overseas. Upon Chigusa's confirmation of pregnancy, it was revealed by her husband Kantarō...
"Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter" Arc
Yūji did not know anything about being a Torch until he was caught up in a Fūzetsu, where he had a direct encounter with one of Friagne's Rinne and with Shana, the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter. The Rinne had tried to eat him upon realizing he was a Mystes, and was narrowly saved by Shana, although she stated that it was really not her intention to do so and he was just there by chance. Shocked and a little more than terrified with the unexpected events, he demanded an explanation from Sha...
A Fateful Choice
Shana and Kazumi, who both harbored feelings for Yuji, both decided to write him a letter, and whomever he would respond to would be the one he had chosen. Unfortunately, he had disappeared on Christmas Eve, and everyone except those who had knowledge of who he really is, had forgotten about him. It is later implied that Yuji had chosen Shana over Kazumi. He was even surprised that his feelings were already there for a long time and contemplated about all the time wasted with her. With this r...

After, he goes to Misaki City and faces off with Shana, defeating her, and proceeds to the Yoda Department Store, where Eita and Kazumi are, to claim the Haridan which belongs to Bal Masque. Kazumi asks why he returned the letters she wrote to him and Yuji replies that he cannot thin...
While many Flame Haze and Lords of the Crimson Realm would be deceived or confused by unconventional casting of Unrestricted Spells, Yuji is able to quickly deduce and see through the ploy despite his unfamiliarity with them, enabling his allies, generally Shana, to strike at the heart of their opposition. Furthermore, Yūji's regular physical train...
