Yuuto (優斗, Yūto) is a student of Seikyou Academy's middle school, enrolled in Class 1-C. He is the classmate of both Teiichi Niiya and Haruka Yoshizawa. He and Haruka enrolled in the same grade school and have been childhood friends until middle school, when Yuuto becomes "too busy" due to club activities.
From time to time he is usually seen showing his outgoing personally and can easily speak familiarly with Niiya. In a flashback he is shown calling Yoshizawa "Haruka", however by the time he is introduced he only calls her by her last name, fact which might hint that their relationship is not as close now as it was in grade school.
Etymology[]
