Yuusaku Kitamura

Personality

Yusaku Kitamura is portrayed as a diligent and responsible student, serving as the vice-president (and later president) of the student council and captain of the boys' softball team. He's initially presented as someone who struggles with interacting with girls, though his actions often belie this self-assessment. He's shown to be a caring and supportive friend, particularly to Ryuuji, and possesses a degree of emotional depth that emerges throughout the story. While generally composed, he's also shown to be capable of impulsive behavior, such as forgetting to dress after showering or appearing shirtless at a party, suggesting a degree of unconventionality beneath his outwardly responsible demeanor. His relationships with other characters, particularly Taiga and Sumire, highlight his capacity for both romantic interest and genuine friendship. He demonstrates loyalty and concern for his friends, even going to great lengths to support them, while also navigating his own romantic complexities with grace and understanding, even if sometimes awkwardly. His actions often speak louder than his words, revealing a thoughtful and considerate nature despite his sometimes clumsy social interactions.
