Yuuto Amakawa is the male protagonist of Omamori Himari. On the day of his sixteenth birthday, he is met by Himari, who reveals that his family is one of the twelve Demon Slayer families who fought and slain ayakashi for hundreds of years, and that she is assigned to protect him from the enemy ayakashi out of an ancient oath set by their ancestors.

Background

Yuuto Amakawa was born in the rural town of Noihara, where he lived most of his childhood with his grandparents and Himari (as a white cat). He soon left Noihara for the city with his parents not before his grandmother bestowed him with an omamori, which, unknown to him at the time, protected him from enemy ayakashi.

Upon arriving in the city, he met Rinko Kuzaki during his early years of elementary school. He was in a severly depressed state (a side effect from the omamori), and was constantly bullied by his classmates due to his inability to interact with people until Rinko helped him out of it. However, tragedy struck when his parents died in a fatal car crash when he was eight years old. With his grandparents dead as well, he was now an orphan and the only living descendant of his family. Luckily, Rinko and her family were able to support him.

Appearance

Yuuto is a young man in his adolescent years with an average body build, light brown eyes, and short brown hair with several bangs hanging over his forehead. His outfits vary throughout the series, his most common outfit being his school uniform which consists of a white, long-sleeved button-down shirt with a pocket located on his left breast, dark blue pants, and blue sneakers. He often wears a light blue t-shirt underneath his school shirt, as well as an yellow-orange blazer with red-orange accents which he wears over his school shirt during the fall or winter. He also wears a red omamori underneath his shirt, which was given to him by his grandmother when he was little, and is almost never seen without it.

Personality

Yuuto is shown to be a kind and gentle person most of the time, being portayed with a friendly and caring demeanor. However in erotic or perverted situations, he is shown to be shy and nervous, especially with Himari. Upon learning of his family's Demon Slayer heritage, he is initially dismayed, repeatedly declaring that he has no intention of fighting and instead tries to coexist with them. This idea later changes after he witnesses Himari's demonic side in Noihara and during the Christmas Eve incident followed by Shuten-dōji's and Tama's sudden appearance, realizing that he needs to start fighting in order to preserve his ideals of coexistience between humans and ayakashi. It's hinted that he has feelings for Himari, and has sexually dreams about Kuesu.

Abilities

Yuto imbuing Himari's Yasutsuna with his Light Ferry ability

• Light Ferry: As a descendant of the Amakawa Family, Yuuto has the power of the Light Ferry, an ability that imbues ordinary objects (such as a pole or twig) with light-based energy, turning them into powerful melee weapons equivalent to that of a legendary blade. He can also imbue other weapons, shield himself from harm, and enhance his physical senses with it, one instance is when he imbued Himari's Yasutsuna to defeat Shuten-dōji. He can also use it to trap other enemies as well as explained by Hitsugi, once doing so against Tesuma. In order for him to control the Light Ferry, Yuuto must keep a calm mind and have good composure. Prior to having some control over it, the Light Ferry ability only emerged when Yuto was in a near-death situation. The Light Ferry power has only been descended to the male half of the family.

Relationships

Himari Noihara

Yuuto is Himari's master and though she keeps trying to push her feelings aside, she actually feels strong love for him. She is known to protect him under any and all circumstances, as shown in episode 11 when she risked her own safety by transforming into Ayakashi Himari.

With the development of the plot in the manga, the mutual feelings of the characters for each other were shown. Himari and Yuuto were confirmed as lovers in the epilogue chapter in Omamori Himari Virgin Art Book: Milan Matra Art Works.

Rinko Kuzaki

Her childhood friend after he moved to her neighbourhood. It is strongly hinted that she has feelings for him.

Kuesu Jinguji

Kuesu is his fiancé. Their engagement was arranged by the Amakawa and Jinguji families when they were just children, in an attempt to make the latter more powerful and respected among the other Demon Slayers. Like the other girls in his group of friends, Kuesu is in love with him, but she is much more lustful and determined. Despite that, Yuuto has shown feelings for her after remembering the promise they made.

Shizuku

Shizuku is one of the 5 women of the series that loves him. At first, she wanted to kill him, but after seeing his kindness, she had a change of heart and quickly falls in love with him. At one point she tried to kiss him along with Liz.

Lizlet L. Chelsie

When she first met him, Lizlet thought he was a vicious Demon Slayer and was going to kill her, only to be shocked by his kindness. After he saved her she develops feelings for him, referring to him as her “Master” and tries to flirt with him, usually by pulling him into her breasts or trying to kiss him.

Tamamo no Mae

She is the main antagonist of the series. She admits to Rinko Kuzaki that the reason she desires to regain power is because she doesn't like her imperfect form and wishes to become the beautiful and powerful woman she once was. To this, she tried to gain Rinko as a subordinate, reasoning that eating Himari and Kuesu Jinguji will make Rinko - Yuto's girlfriend.

Interestingly, Tama also seems to harbor feelings for Yuto Amakawa.

Ageha

When they first met, Ageha attacked Yuto with the intent to kill him. After being protected by Yuto from Himari’s attack she began to develop feelings for him. When they meet again Ageha starts to flirt with him, having him fondle her breasts and kisses him. She then starts sucking his blood, which made her feel intense pleasure. After this, she joins Yuto’s side in his fight against the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Yu Shimamura

She is his classmate. She apparently has feelings for him, but it remains unclear due to her constantly joking around with him.

Kaya

Kaya seems to be on unfriendly terms with Yuto, blaming him for taking Himari away from her. In fact, she is so jealous of him that when they first met, she wished that he was dead. This was further enforced in the manga when she knocks Yuto out for allegedly seducing Himari (though it was Himari who was seducing him in order to regain his lost memories). She does hold a small degree of respect for him, once congratulating him on awakening his Light Ferry power during Himari's fight with Ageha (though she really wished he'd die out there, according to her).
