Facts & Trivia || Homra

The following is part of a series of posts made by me. The information listed is official canon provided by GoRa. Sources will go from the anime, to mangas and novels as well as official short stories. These are NOT fanmade headcanons. The purpose of these posts is to provide useful information for fans as well as roleplayers looking for confirmed lore for their muses. Please do not reply to argue with me about what you read here. I did not come up with this stuff myself. GoRa did. I’ll come back to edit these as I find more info.

The Red Clan, lead by the Red King Mikoto Suoh, and successively Anna Kushina.

Founded in 2007 by Mikoto Suoh, Izumo Kusanagi and Tatara Totsuka.

Its name comes from the Bar Homra owned by Kusanagi, where the clan gathers.

Interistingly, the Homra insigna that each clansman bears resembles the shape of an “H” stylized as a flame.

In Japanese, the 焔 (Homura) kanji means “Flame”, but also sounds like the Japanese spelling of the English word “Home”.

Its base, the bar HOMRA, is located in Shizume City, a fictional name assigned to the real life district of Shibuya in Tokyo.

In Shizume City, Homra has the reputation of being the gang that rules the district. There are rumors of Bar Homra being the residence of the “Red Monster”, someone who wields the power of fire and will bestow it on people worthy, while the unworthy will be burned to crisps. Though nobody in the general public really believes in this urban legend, the figure of the “Red Monster” is feared and respected.

Homra does not recruit new people in itself. Typically, people show up at Bar Homra through word-of-mouth and ask to be allowed to take the “test” to join the gang.

Tatara Totsuka is tasked with recording on film everyone who takes the test (until December 8th 2012).

The Installation ritual in Homra is called “the test”, and it involves shaking Suoh Mikoto’s hand while it’s enveloped in flames. Those who pass the test receive the power of the red aura, as well as the clan’s insigna somewhere on their body. Those who fail the test are said to get burned by Suoh’s aura.

As a Red Clan, Homra embodies the force of nature of “Destruction”.

It is said that what matters the most in Homra is the bonds between its members and loyalty to the King.

Because everyone is considered family, nobody is left to deal with problems alone. If a member of Homra is in danger or difficulties, the clan will take initiative to help. At the same time, it also means that the actions of each individual member speak on behalf of the whole clan, so everyone is responsible of keeping up the clan’s reputation.

For this reason, despite its violent methods, Homra does not delve into real crime, and members caught doing so will be apprehended.

In fact, Homra keeps Shizume City clean of actual criminal organizations, often clashing with gangs trying to spread their influence and shady dealings in their streets. They have destroyed several yakuza gangs, including “Rakshasa” and “Hikawa”.

Homra does not like their territory to be intruded, and for this reason also take care of any strain-related crimes going on in their turf, just so Scepter 4 (which is normally tasked with this responsibility in all of Kanto) does not enter the Shizume City district.

The clan often gets together to do all kinds of fun activities, like playing baseball, go fishing or camping at the beach.

The members often help out around the bar, working as waiters or helping during Kusanagi’s scheduled “cleaning weeks”.

Because he doesn’t want the bar to look like a scary place, Kusanagi always asks Homra members to enter from the back.

The bar is very precious to the owner and everybody knows not to damage it by being violent while inside. Kusanagi’s wrath and protectiveness for the bar is known and feared by all.

The building of bar Homra comprises 3 floors: the ground floor where the actual bar is, a floor upstairs with bedrooms used by Anna and Mikoto Suoh, plus an underground floor used as a lounge.

After Mikoto Suoh himself, Izumo Kusanagi is considered the strongest in Homra, followed by Misaki Yata. Back when Saruhiko Fushimi was in Homra, it was said that he and Yata’s combined fighting strategy rivaled even Kusanagi himself.

He's a good horse, according to many.

A rare animal Strain. His ability is that of transforming into a white Pegasus.

Mikoto named him "Basashi", or "Raw Horse Meat", because watching him made him hungry.

Awashima successively named him "White Bean Paste Stewed Tofu".

Anna continues to call him "child", hinting that Basashi might be still very young, between 3 and 10 years old.

Despite his transformation power, he doesn't know how to fly.

Highly dislikes Yata and most of all, Dōmyōji. He has kicked him in the face several times.

Terrified of both Munakata and Suoh.

After an accident which brought Homra and Scepter 4 against each other, he has returned into custody of the blue clan.

He was very fond of his previous owner, having broken out of Scepter 4 to go see her on her wedding day.

Very intelligent. He shows to understand human language easily.

He has a lot of pride, but not much to back it up. When people point at his shortcomings, like his inability to fly or his given name, he will get depressed.

He's easily flattered by compliments.

Anna is very fond of him and has snuck in Scepter 4 to go see him a couple times.

A yakuza gang that has been destroyed by Homra once in the past and then definitely by Suoh Mikoto in 2011.

Eric Surt was taken in with his father when he was just a child. When his father died, the gang continued to use him like a dog to do the dirty work.

It is known to have constant skirmishes with the Yakuza.

They attempted to kill Suoh Mikoto to regain control in Shizume City, resulting in their own demise.

Facts & Trivia || Eric Surt

The following is part of a series of posts made by me. The information listed is official canon provided by GoRa. Sources will go from the anime, to mangas and novels as well as official short stories. These are NOT fanmade headcanons.

I did not come up with this stuff myself. GoRa did. I’ll come back to edit these as I find more info.

Born on March 19, 1994 (The same year as Kuroh Yatogami, Aya Oogai, and Chiho Hyuga) in Scandinavia.

His last name “Surt” might be a reference to Norse/Norwegian myth Surtr, a fire giant.

After the death of his mother, his father took him to Japan where they both joined a life of crime.

Former member of the dissolved yakuza gang "Hikawa", annihilated by Homra. He was treated as the dog of the group after his father’s death.

Member of Homra since early April 2011, when he was 17 years old.

His Homra insigna is on the left shoulder. Eric's installation was particular in that Suoh grabbed his head without warning, rather than offering his hand as a test. He's the only clansman Suoh made without being asked.

On April 1st 2011 he was found under the rain by Kōsuke Fujishima, and has been living with him and his parents since.

He speaks fluent English, but seems to use it only to annoy Yata (and Dōmyōji).

When found, he was undernourished and full of bruises, hinting that Eric was subjected to maltreatment by his former gang.

Because of how he was raised and treated, he regards himself as a dog. This seems to reflect in his personality too: he's very loyal to Fujishima and complies to his instructions without objection, begs for food with his stare and even fears water at first.

He seems to dislike Yata Misaki and always ignores him or calls him names like "shorty" or "little Chihuahua". This might be a reference to the fact that Yata seems to be always disliked by animals, since Eric is said to have the personality of a dog.

He was at one point ordered to kill the Red King, but he tried to kill Totsuka instead when it was clear Suoh was too strong.

He doesn't eat much and can be quite shy when offered food.

He is the last character known to join Homra.

He can't swim (though Shōhei has been teaching him) and prefers to use a pool float.

He thinks the best way to impress a girl is with expensive brand items. This suggests that Eric might be easy prey to gold diggers.

Eric seems to actually like to shop for jewels and expensive gifts.

He likes to sit on the couch while hugging his knees.

Born on April 24, 1991.

Joined Homra sometime in 2007-2008, at either 16 or 17 years old.

His Homra insigna is on his right upper leg.

Is known to be always picking up strays. He's rather extreme about it, showing no hesitation in picking up even large animals like the horse Basashi, or people like Eric.

Another animal he once picked up was a retriever. The dog hated Yata with all its heart, according to Totsuka.

Still lives with his parents, but brought in Eric to live with him anyways in April 2011.

He's very humble and reserved, being too polite to even make a fuss when injured.

Has saved Totsuka's life when Eric tried to stab him.

Rides a motorbike.

Prefers swim briefs over trunks.

An infamous assassin and a Strain.

Her nickname “Yubikiri” means ‘Finger cut-off’, the Japanese equivalent to the English ‘Pinky Promise’.

She always keeps her promises and is known to kill her own clients if they break any promise with her.

Despite her reputation, she has never reported killed “good citizens”.

Her Strain power seems to be the ability to use the force of motion with her fingernails, easily shredding through all kinds of materials including concrete. Her reflexes are also enhanced, so much that she can catch a baseball with her bare hand.

Because of her powers, her ex lover left her without a word. Maria was heartbroken by this and regards herself as a monster.

After a turbulent first encounter, she is now very close to Yō Chitose. The two have slept together at least twice.

Since the end of February 2011, she is in good standing with Homra and sometimes exchanges information with them.

He is uncomfortable when surrounded by undressed women and doesn’t like to go to the brothel with Chitose to gather information.

I did not come up with this stuff myself. GoRa did. I’ll come back to edit these as I find more info.

Born on August 13, 1988 (The same year as Reisi Munakata and Nagare Hisui).

He goes by the philosophy of life of “Do what you want.”

Became Red King in 2007 at the age of 19 and leader/co-founder of Homra shortly after.

He is nicknamed “King” by Totsuka, and called simply “Mikoto” by Kusanagi and Anna. To everyone else in Homra, he is referred to as “Mikoto-san”. Munakata calls him by his last name without honorifics, and Suoh returns the courtesy.

Also known as the “Red Monster” in Shizume City. A legend spread around town about him says he has demon-like abilities, that incinerate or grant special powers to people worthy.

His Installation ritual consists of taking his hand while engulfed in the flames of his power. Those brave enough to take it are briefly enveloped in flames and will either absorb the aura and receive a mark on their skin, or be scorched by the fire.

Suoh doesn’t care about choosing who joins Homra, and will put to the test anyone who asks to try. He never asks people to become members himself.

A noteworthy exception was when he gave Eric his installation by grabbing his head, making him his final clansman.

Heavy smoker and drinker.

His favorite cigarette brand is Marlboro.

His favorite drink is Bourbon, the Wild Turkey brand (thanks @crmsnking​!)

His aura protects him by burning and melting anything that comes his way, including bullets.

He’s very quiet and doesn’t like long conversations. Most times he’ll respond with single words or even just grunts.

He’s a heavy sleeper, and takes a lot of naps. This might be a reference to his lion image, as lions often spend up to 20 hours a day sleeping. He can sleep pretty much anywhere.

He sleeps with a tanktop and long slacks.

He likes to keep his cigarettes right next to his pillow when sleeping, along with an ashtray.

It’s a bad idea to wake him up abruptly. If caught in a daze, Suoh might accidentally unleash his power and burn anyone nearby.

Kusanagi seems the be the only person Suoh is actually afraid of, going as far as apologizing with his head low when scolded by him for breaking things around the bar.

He often has nightmares involving his power taking over and burning everything. Though if asked he’ll deny it.

He’s often forgetful. It can take him a while for him to remember even some of his own clansmen if they aren’t particularly close to him.

He isn’t good at picking names. When Anna asked to name their new horse, he called it “Basashi” (raw horse meat) just because it made him hungry.

Though he’s obviously fond of Totsuka, he has a habit of hitting him on the head when he does something stupid.

He is actually rather perceptive. Suoh claims he was able to sense Eric’s murderous intent before he joined Homra. He also was able to sense Basashi was a strain just by standing next to it.

He isn’t happy of his status of King and really doesn’t want to be one. Even though the leader of Homra, he prefers to go ahead on his own, letting his clansmen choose whether to follow him or not.

Though Suoh generally does what he wants, he shows to be quite a pushover with people he likes. An example are Kusanagi, Totsuka and Anna, who can get Suoh to comply to their requests most of the time.

As an example, he took Anna on a date even though he disliked the idea, just because she admitted to wanting to go on one.

He has read “Alice in Wonderland” to Anna. Munakata happened to witness this.

He appears to have no real sense of boundaries, grabbing Anna and handling her like a doll without any hesitation.

As a teenager he was pretty dense and reckless, throwing himself off a cliff with a bike and carelessly letting himself be caught peeking on his undressing teacher without any concern.

According to Kusanagi, Suoh was feared by others for his violence as early as middle school.

He doesn’t seem to have much awareness of his own strength, playing violently and putting excessive strength in anything he does. He has broken Totsuka’s camera just by touching it (Suoh was very worried that Totsuka would be upset too).

Because of this he’s always given a big handicap when playing games with other Homra members.

He also has little consideration for social etiquette, attempting to break an arcade machine just because it looked easier to get a prize that way rather than playing.

Speaking of which, Suoh is terrible at any and all games that require more than brutal strength (like the claw machine).

Likes strawberries. In high school he was often seen drinking strawberry milk.

He doesn’t eat with tableware unless forced, because it’s too troublesome.

For the same reason, he will rather cook with his powers, crushing vegetables and frying eggs with his hands, instead of using the kitchen.

Amongst the things he doesn’t care about is what he eats. He has been observed eating a single, whole bread baguette for breakfast. When going to eat out, he often asks other people to choose for him.

Seems to have a rather short attention span for mundane things and even some out of the norm. He never seems to notice Kamamoto losing weight in the summer.

His body temperature is always warm or outright hot. Ice creams will melt in his hand very quickly.

Suoh doesn’t seem to really care for honor. He’s uninterested in Homra or himself gaining a reputation, whether good or bad, and generally doesn’t let insults provoke him.

However he can still show a low patience for other things. For example he will quickly get tired of things such as negotiations or chatter and want to get into battle.

He often looks very scary from the outside to commoners, without him realizing. He has terrified an arcade manager by marching up to him asking about bloody games.

Because of his appearance, he’s often mistaken for a Yakuza member.

Little kids seem to like him however.

Animals are always scared of Mikoto, and will submit to him immediately.

Allegedly, Reisi Munakata is the only one able to make Suoh angry in any way (though Totsuka’s antics have mildly annoyed him at times and it’s safe to say the Colorless King was able to at least upset Suoh by killing Totsuka).

The gangs of Shizume City that have been defeated by Homra treat Suoh with fear and respect, bowing to him whenever they see him.

When Totsuka passed away, Suoh took his ear piercing to wear. The earring was hollow and Suoh filled it with Totsuka’s blood from his wound.

He used his power to burn Totsuka’s casket.

Born on December 8, 2001 (The same year as Minoru Yata).

A strain of the highest class, gifted with strong psychic powers.

Member of Homra since spring 2009, when she was 7 years old. This makes her Suoh Mikoto’s youngest clansman.

Since becoming a clansman, she has been living in the bar with Suoh.

She has a lion onesie pajama, called “kigurumi” in Japan.

Has been mistaken for a Zashiki-warashi by Shōhei Akagi when they first met. Zashiki-warashi are children gods known for pulling pranks and bringing good fortune to those that they visit.

Her strain powers are psychic and manifest in many forms. Through her marbles, Anna can peer into people’s fate. She can also see the Red aura of Suoh and his clansmen, and have psychic dreams. She also seems to be able to understand animals (or at least strain animals like Basashi).

She calls everyone by their first name (including strangers) without any honorifics. An exception seems to apply for Basashi, who she simply refers to as “child”, even though it was her who asked Mikoto to name it.

Despite her calm demeanor, she likes the same things a child likes, like animals, toys and treats.

Regarded as the “princess” of Homra, she lives at the bar and everyone is very protective of her.

She used to not like to eat much, but thanks to everyone in Homra she has grown to have a healthy appetite.

She once ordered a hamburger for Suoh.

She can only see the color red, and likes anything crimson.

Anna isn’t easily impressionable. She is impassive before nudity and violence, playing gore videogames with Yata because she liked the red of blood when shooting enemies.

She likes to eat red food, like tomato spaghetti.

She is very selfless, very rarely expressing any want for something.

She disapproves of Kamamoto’s summer weight loss because when that happens, Rikio has “less red” in him.

She gets bored when people treat her like a kid.

Anna doesn’t have a real sense of privacy. She has walked in on Yata while he was in the shower, and even thought recording Suoh in the shower with a camera was okay.

She convinced Mikoto to take her on a date.

Mikoto has read “Alice in Wonderland” for her.

Anna can be very hard on herself. When Totsuka’s camera broke while under her custody, she broke into tears.

She was able to connect with Totsuka in her dreams when he passed away killed by the Colorless King.

One of her marbles broke when Totsuka died.

Anna managed to placate Suoh’s power when he was distraught by Totsuka’s death.

He’s described as a frivolous man who always hits on girls. The womanizer of Homra.

Smokes and drinks. He tends to not remember much when drunk.

He likes to drink tomato juice to sober up.

He’s best friend with Masaomi Dewa and can rarely be seen without him.

Despite being a popular guy, he has a hard time committing to relationships. The cause seems to be a very bad break up with a previous girlfriend.

He had a couple one-night stands with “Yubikiri” Maria, an assassin Strain.

Like several other red clansmen, he is jealous and annoyed by Kamamoto’s summer look, because he steals all the girls from him.

He’s the founder and president of the Committee of Fattening Up Kamamoto Rikio (other members: Bandō, Yata and Shōhei).

He thinks 16 years old is an acceptable age for a girl to marry.

His ideal date is at an expensive restaurant with a nice night view.

He has a favorite flower shop that he goes to for all his dates.

He is a regular at a brothel in Shizume City and often goes to gather information from the girls working there.

Born on September 11, 1992 (The same year as Ren Gotō, Shōhei Akagi, Takeru Kusuhara and Rikio Kamamoto).

Joined Homra sometime in 2007-2008, at either 15 or 16 years old.

His Homra mark is on his stomach. He claims that since getting it, he’s never had a stomachache.

Childhood friend of Shōhei Akagi since kindergarten.

He prides himself to be Shōhei’s senpai as he joined Homra first.

Totsuka and Shōhei always call him “San-chan”.

Can almost never be seen without his sunglasses.

In his childhood he was very jealous of Shōhei for being popular, and couldn’t forgive him for kissing his kindergarten crush Saya. He resented Shōhei and initially wasn’t happy that he had joined Homra too.

He can be rather petty and jealous in front of one’s popularity. Not only Shōhei, but also Kamamoto annoys him with how many girls he attracts in the summer.

He’s also a little egocentric. Even when making preparations for Anna’s birthday, he dressed up in a frivolous manner to catch all the attention.

In truth, what he’s jealous of is the fact that people like Shōhei are too open minded and selfless, making him feel inadequate because of his own shortcomings.

He was always kinda nerdy since his childhood (though he claims he was good at sports), and can be often seen using a laptop in the bar. He handles most of Homra’s Intel gathering online since Fushimi left.

Will start drinking a lot when he gets worked up.

He seems to be a chewtoy character in the group. Throughout the mangas, Bandō gets repeatedly injured in comedic ways. Amongst his tormentors are Yata, Kusanagi and the horse strain Basashi.

Active member of the Committee of Fattening Up Kamamoto Rikio.

Born on May 18, 1992 (The same year as Ren Gotō, Shōhei Akagi, Takeru Kusuhara and Saburōta Bandō).

Joined Homra sometime in 2007-2008, at either 15 or 16 years old.

He’s nicknamed “Kama-Sama” by his admirers.

He’s a foodie and knows the best quality food in town.

He thinks Yata’s cooking is “too manly”.

Can make very good yakisoba.

Despite being older than Yata, he calls him “Yata-san” out of admiration ever since they became friends in childhood. That said, he is notoriously Yata’s favorite punchbag.

He and Misaki Yata were childhood friends and parted ways when Rikio was 7 years old. They reunited nine years later after Yata joined Homra.

Rikio has another childhood friend, Ayumi Nunohashi, who lives next door. Ayumi has a strong crush on Rikio and claims to be his girlfriend.

Typically fights with street fight techniques, hurling his whole body at the enemy while bursting with red aura.

Loses appetite in summer because of heat fatigue (around July), to the point where he dramatically changes body shape, turning into a handsome man no girl can resist. This annoys quite a few of his comrades as he inevitably lures many girls to the bar.

It is hard to see Rikio without his sunglasses when he is fat. He however takes them off when slim. Maybe because they don’t fit anymore?

Kusanagi finds this very useful for business instead, and always makes sure to hire Kamamoto as a waiter for the summer to keep customers coming.

His hair also grows a lot during this phase.

He usually returns back to normal in late September.

Chitose, Bandō, Yata and Shōhei have assembled a group with the purpose of quickening Kamamoto’s return to his chubby shape: the Committee of Fattening up Kamamoto Rikio.

Rides a scooter.

He seems to like ghost stories and even claims to have seen one before.

Born on July 20, 1993 (The same year as Daichi Yamata, Tōru Hieda, Andy Dōmyōji and Saruhiko Fushimi).

Member of Homra since January/February 2009, when he was 15 years old alongside Saruhiko Fushimi.

His Homra insignia is on the left collarbone like Saruhiko Fushimi’s. Yata and Fushimi are remarkably known as the first and only case in which two clansmen received the mark on the same spot. Yata took great pride in this and will show it off often. He hates that Fushimi marred his own.

His weapons of choice are his fists and legs that Yata uses with expert street fighting moves and acrobatics. He also brandishes blunt weapons such as a baseball bat and a pole, and can control his aura to make his skateboard go faster as well as use it as a weapon itself.

He wears a smartwatch that he uses instead of a PDA. It has all the functions of a mobile phone, including camera and holographic screen as well as a flashlight. It was gifted to him by Fushimi, who personally customized it for him when they were roommates.

Yata called himself Yatagarasu to sound cooler as a Homra member. Yatagarasu is a crow spirit with three legs in Japanese folklore.

Yata is the vanguard of Homra. This means he adopts an all-out direct offense tactic, charging at the enemy on the front without any regard for his own safety. This used to make his duo with Saruhiko almost invincible as his friend would watch his back and finish off the enemy. But after they split up, this strategy doesn’t work as well and Yata often puts his own life at risk with it.

He was born with a different (and unknown) last name. His last name became “Yata” only once his mother remarried (In Japan children of remarried women get their new stepfather’s last name). Misaki was 6 years old at the time.

He hates to be called by his first name because it’s girly. The only people allowed to use it without getting yelled at are his family, Anna, and Saruhiko back when they were friends. Saruhiko still calls him Misaki out of habit, sometimes just to annoy him.

During his earliest childhood he was best friend with Rikio Kamamoto, dragging him around in all kinds of dangerous explorations. Departing from him at 6 years old, he reunites with Rikio once he joins Homra nine years later.

He always displayed a kind of tough, abusive friendship with Kamamoto, calling him names because of his weight and yelling at him when Rikio showed weakness by crying. Even now he doesn’t hesitate to fight him or physically hit him when in an argument.

Though he was born in Shizume City, he moved to live elsewhere at 6 with his mother when she remarried. When he was 12 his family moved in Chiyoda City (Saruhiko and Scepter 4’s district) and was able to go visit Shizume City again because it was nearby. At 15 years of age he returned to live in Shizume City when he moved in with Fushimi.

He attended Himuka Middle School in Chiyoda City, where he met and befriended Fushimi. Both of them dropped out at the end of their third year.

Though he was often bullied, Yata was kind of a bully himself at school, often forcing people into being his friends and scaring them with his fierce and strong personality. This caused the other kids to not really like him much and blacklist him behind his back.

Swears and yells a lot. He’s very manic and violent when he gets worked up and won’t hesitate to give a beating to fellow clansmen too if they anger him (or even if they don’t, in the case of Kamamoto).

He’s very good at baseball and is particularly proud of his straight as a pitcher.

He can use both the skateboard and surf board very skillfully. Even to the point where girls will find him cool, unbeknownst to him. He owns both boards stylized with Homra’s symbol.

His favorite subjects in school were PE and music.

However, seen how bad Yata was at playing Totsuka’s guitar, it’s safe to assume his only musical talent was singing.

He tried to learn to play the guitar from Totsuka.

He likes videogames, which he played a lot with Saruhiko in the past. He often goes to the arcade and has even taught Anna to play FPS games. This shows he might be a bit oblivious to what is appropriate for a kid when it comes to gore and violence.

For his age, he has pretty good housekeeping and cooking skills. However, Kamamoto has described Yata’s cooking as “too manly” for a girl’s birthday.

All animals seem to dislike him for some reason. This includes the horse strain Basashi and a retriever that Fujishima once picked up.

Neko, who also believes to be a cat, shows instinctive hostility towards Yata just like a real cat would.

Yata is actually upset when animals hate him and to bring it up is a sensitive subject.

This seems to be a “mirroring” trait to Fushimi, who instead dislikes animals and yet seems to attract them to himself like a magnet.

Eric Sōlt seems to dislike him (a reference to his dog-like personality), and often mocks him in English. Though Yata’s English is bad, he seems to be able to pick up the insults and gets very annoyed.

He’s very annoyed by how popular Kamamoto gets in the summer when he loses weight. Though, rather than because of jealousy, it might be because when Rikio is surrounded by girls it is impossible for Yata to approach him or hang out with him at ease.

He’s an active member of the Committee of Fattening Up Kamamoto Rikio, going great lengths with his cooking skills to make him gain weight (even to the point where his own living budget will be as low as to force Yata to eat poorly).

Yata appears to get overwhelmingly flustered in the presence of young women, to the point he looks outright terrified and avoids interacting with them. He seems to be okay with little girls or women far older than himself.

Because of his past drama with Saruhiko, Yata holds a personal and violent grudge towards Scepter 4 and anything related to them, reacting with suspicion and hostility towards any of its members.

By far the member who cares about Homra’s honor the most. Yata doesn’t tolerate that anything offensive is said about his King or clan. He also gets furious when his fellow clansmen act in dishonorable ways that could stain the Red Clan’s reputation, and will violently discipline them without any restraint if so.

In general, Yata proves to have great pride and sense of honor overall, refusing to strike at injured people, no matter how bad he hates them.

Despite his problems with Fushimi and how directly he insults him as they fight, Yata also won’t tolerate that anyone else speaks poorly of him. In general, Homra members know to avoid the topic entirely around Yata.

He’s known to not listen all too well to no one, save perhaps Mikoto-san (who however hardly ever tells him anything).

This may be another a mirror personality trait to reflect Fushimi, who instead doesn’t speak out his thoughts (“He never listens vs. He never tells”).

He won’t tolerate being bossed around by any guy save the Homra founders. Yata dislikes when people settle things on their own. Ironically, he is guilty of this fault himself as he often takes decisions and acts without waiting.

Despite his fiery temper, Yata is very nurturing and won’t hesitate to show concern and care for those he’s very close to. Though he may be aggressive about it, especially with Saruhiko.

Yata is tormented by not knowing the exact reasons behind Saruhiko’s betrayal. He’ll ask him several times, only to get mocked as a result.

When he and Saruhiko start arguing, Yata can get tunnel vision and forget about everything else around him, including bullets and grenades.

Though he always swears he’ll beat Saruhiko to death, deep inside Yata has never given up on getting his friend back, and always looks with hope for signs from Saruhiko that they can be comrades again. Because of this he gets even more hurt every time Saruhiko reiterates his betrayal and spite towards Homra.

Yata can be a bit of a crybaby and tear up more easily than most guys.

He’s terrified of ghosts. When he hears about ghost stories or thinks one may be close, Yata gets extremely jittery and manic. However, he strongly denies his fears and will react with nervous violence if accused of this.
