The one quality that makes many people think Yuji is a teenager is his childish side. Even as a grown 20 year old man, he's still got the voice, attitude, and appearance of a teen, or young adult at the most. He's a fan of drinking, and whenever he gets any alcoholic beverage, such as foreign wine or just regular sake, he'll get all excited and brag about it and make a big deal about it. Not only this, but he's a little too childish in battle too. When he's sparring with someone, he won't take it seriously and put on a straight face. Instead, he'll be laughing and making fun of his opponent. Yuji isn't someone to think that aggravating his opponent will help him win. He never even considered that actually. He just liked to have fun, no matter what time or what was going on. Even in the most serious times he'll probably still be laughing and grinning like the silly idiot he really is.
Not to mention he's also very friendly. Yuji, even though he has killed many in his life, finds nothing wrong with giving out a hand to others. He's saved a child yet murdered fathers, he's brought marriages together but has also torn them apart; in general, some people can view him as a killer while others view him as a god. Of course, Yuji doesn't care which since opinions don't matter much to him anymore. Even when he's being portrayed as a demon, he doesn't care. It's his way of life. To give life you also have to bring death, is something he'd tell himself when he'd kill someone or help a woman with her chores. Even if he is insanely childish, something Yuji won't change is himself.
To make someone happy, he'll wear a mask for them to their liking. That mask can be one that smiles, one that blushes, or one that smirks. Sometimes, to make others feel better about themselves, he'll wear a mask with the expression of pity, sadness, or revenge. In reality, Yuji continuously wears masks instead of showing his true face. When someone refers to this, asking him something like, 'Are you really telling the truth?' He'll answer, 'I can't say since the truth is uglier than you think.' Of course, not many people understand this and end up slapping him since they think he's lying, but what he means is that he wears many different masks to impress others, and when people ask him for his true self, he says it's far too ugly for them to see. And he's right, after what he went through in his past.

|| Weakness ||
♮His Self - An odd weakness, wouldn't you say? But its true. Since Yuij's actual personality is hardly revealed to anyone, when it is, well... lets just say some things don't really work out as well as expected.
♮Alcohol - One of the most stupidest weaknesses? Yup. Definitely. But Yuji is not a very strong drinker and gets drunk very easily, which makes his open up his darkest secrets even when he means and doesn't want to. Not only that, but he'll act like any other drunk person. It'd be even worse in the morning, and imagine what would happen if he was drunk in an actual battle. Bad things.
♮Females - Don't mistake this for the wrong meaning. Since he has killed before, he has killed women as well, and that's something he doesn't like to do. A little sexist? Kind of, yeah.
♮Killing - This is actually a weakness in two ways rather than just one like the others he has. Like when he was younger, it's possible he'd lose control and go insane just as he did a few years ago. Then, the other side, is that he usually tends to hesitate outside of his bloody state. Killing isn't something he favors, even if he has and still does do it.

ツ Swordplay - Yuji, as expected, is an amazing swordsman. Well... in some way he is since it's only his sword he can use properly and at a professional level while other swords such as other katanas or western weapons. With those, he'll constantly fall over, trip from the different weight, or things like that sort. Because he's so used to carrying his sword, and only his, any slight differences could cause an immense change in his swordplay, but with his sword, he's perfected it.
ツ Lying - Since Yuji has the urge to make others happy, no matter the cost, it's only obvious that he'd be a pro when it comes to lying. He can easily put on different expressions and easily say things that he doesn't mean just to make people content with themselves. Not the best thing to be good at, no, but it's something.
|| Biography ||
Yuji grew up in a very odd, yet large family. His family's generation went from his great grandma and grandma to himself and many brothers and sisters. To go into further detail, Yuji had two older sisters (14, 17) and three older brothers (12, 19, 21) when he was 11 years old. There was also his mother and father, and then their brothers and sisters, which meant he had a lot of cousins too, and then there were the grandparents and there brothers and sisters, and then the great grandparents. You can see where this is going. Basically, Yuji lived in a huge family, but it wasn't a very family oriented place. Well... in some way, it was, but in others, it was most definitely not.
To younger children like him, his youngest sister and youngest brother, who were still both older than him, the place was like a dream. They lived in a traditional japanese house, as expected of most big families, in the mountains where they were quarantined and far from the closest village. Not only that but there were items in the house from years and years ago that once belongs to the generations before them like samurai armor or more swords, which, of course, all the kids thought were cool. The parents and other adults were incredibly friendly, even the older people would probably could have easily lost their temper with the cheerfulness and energy the other kids had. Everyone was a joy, but the other older children. Now this wasn't any sort of brother-sister, older-young, cat-dog relationship between the kids. While the younger kids saw the place as their home, the older kids saw it as a hell house.
The question everyone would think after hearing that would be; why? In summary, the children were kept out of the shadows of the hell the rest of the family held deep until they'd grow older to know the truth and deal with it the way the adults wanted it to be dealt with. An example of this would be Yuji's youngest, but older brother, the one that was 14 and three years older than him. They were the closest in the family and hardly fought with each other at all. One night though, Yuji couldn't sleep due to yelling in another room, and decided to get up and find out what was going on. After sliding open the door to a lighten room, he found his father, who always smiled and easily forgave everyone, was yelling and abusing his brother, who was a cheerful and truthful kid.
That night he woke up all his other siblings, including the older ones and told them what he saw. His older siblings were hesitant, saying that they shouldn't talk about thing like that. Just then though, his aunt walked in on their chat, and ratted them out to their father. While Yuji was used to everyone smiling and having fun, just like his young sister was, in the early morning, when it was still dark, the whole family turned stone cold and were like a whole different group of people. Even his mother and father were cruel and started to shout and yell. Because Yuji had seen what he had seen and told the other younger children, they were actually planning on throwing him out of the house, just like they did with his brother, but, from what he heard, his uncle disagreed since he was too much of a 'precious soldier.'
Yuji didn't understand until the next morning he woke up in the middle of a forest, one much different than his snowy mountain home. He was in a small and terribly made cabin with the rest of his younger siblings, but the older ones were no where to be found. Even his younger brother was there too, the one who got yelled at, and he was freaking out, shaking and murmuring words underneath his breath. Yuji, being the clueless and youngest there was, didn't understand what everyone was afraid of until the middle of the night, when they were trying to fall asleep, people began to creep outside their little cabin. Yuji began to wake everyone up again and was going to open the door to see who was outside, but because he was being so loud, the thieves outside heard and smashed open the door. From there, things went to hell. They took the girls of the family and carried them away while they took the little boys and brought them outside, including Yuji.
Now is when he began to freak out. He was scared, but had no clue about what was going on. Things went even worse for him when they beheaded his brother, the one he loved with all his heart and the one he got along most with. Next came the next brother, and the next, and the next, until Yuji was last. While most children would scream and shout, Yuji stayed quiet and kept his crying silent along with his internal screams. When it was his turn, he knew the way things worked since they didn't do the executions any different. Just before his head would have severed from his body, he found his opening and leapt for it. The only bad thing about that opening was that it wasn't a very friendly one. He grabbed one of the thieves swords and began to wave it around like a mad man, finally screaming for once. While the leader wasn't intimidated, his men were since Yuji seemed insanely vicious, like a wolf about to strike. Without hesitation, he sent one of his men to catch him since Yuji began to run for his life, still carrying the heavy sword. He caught up and leapt to catch the kid, but Yuji had tripped and fallen onto his back, the sword pointed up. You can see where the scene went from there.
Yuji did get away, and ran miles, fending for himself and becoming more aggressive by the day. He had no clue where he was running at all, but he was running many places. He never found his family, or any trace of the thieves from back then. From back then, meaning he had grown older. He had been on the run and living off anything possible for over 6 years. To be exact, he had been running until he was 17, when he finally found a trail back to his old house, even though it had been many years since he had last seen it. But when he got there, he only found piles of dead bodies, some he recognized, and others being too burnt by fire to tell. He had no clue where the rest of his family went, or if they had all died and that he was the last Uesugi. He wasn't sure if they were caught by someone, or did this on purpose, but he wanted to find the meaning behind this.
Although Yuji had grown aggressive throughout the years, his motive had been destroyed to continue running, so his anger and sadness had disappeared. Within the next three years, he had settled in a small village and grew under the care of an old couple. He got rid of all the violent thoughts and violent memories and started a new life. It was only then that he had heard news of the wars and battles taking place outside of his peaceful home. Not only that, but during his stay, he had seen someone who bore an insane resemblance to his younger sister in the forest near by. This gave him a stronger motive than before. Why? Well, he spotted his sister who he hadn't seen in around a whole ten years, and with the wars going on, he wouldn't know if she would be alive when he'd find her again. This is why he joined Shichitou. Although he tends to lie to other people he knows about his reason, making it different each time, he doesn't want others to know that the only reason he's changing is to find his sister who may be dead at the moment. He thinks its too selfish to tell the others since he assumes they've banned together just to stop the wars. But finding his sister is just the beginning of his goal; once he finds her, since he only continues to think she's still alive, he's going to learn everything about his family; why they sent their youngest sons and daughters away, why they kept them in the dark while the older kids knew, and what happened to them after the six years he was gone. In other words, he really only joined the Shichitou for his own selfish reasons, but he's not ready to tell a soul about that just yet.

- Yuji hasn't and will most definitely not tell anyone about his past and family. He also won't mention his family, so when someone brings them up, he brings up a different story every time, some which are even unimaginable.
"Whoa- Don't swing a sword around like its a toy! Oh, were you actually trying to hit me? O-Ooops..."
