AYATO SAKAMAKI

BLOOD Ayato is a slender young man with unruly, reddish-colored hair spiked at the ends, narrow green eyes, and a fair complexion. He also wears a black stud on his right ear.Ayato is a narcissistic prankster who has an obsession of being the best due to his upbringing by his mother. Known as the troublemaker of the household, Ayato is an attention seeker and loves mischief. He looks down on others and loves to bully and tease people, bragging about himself and sometimes commanding everyone to call him "Ayato-sama". He refers to himself most of the time as “Ore-sama” (Yours Truly in the English Dub) and refers to Yui as "Chichinashi" 「チチナシ」 (Breastless or Pancake in the English Dub).

Ayato is very energetic and loves sports; basketball being his favorite. Ayato has stated that anything is fine as long as there’s a goal to reach for and that sports is his strong point. He also has a passion for torture devices; such as the Iron Maiden that can be found in his room, which he uses as a bed (the spikes are removed). It is also noted that he eats a lot (only if it is his favorite food takoyaki and gets very angry if someone eats his food), although Ayato stated that vampires need to drink blood to savor the taste.

However, he can be quite the rebel, using vulgar language and tends to be arrogant as he always calls himself the strongest and the best. Ayato would insult his mother (even after her death), his father, and his brothers by telling them off and calling them names such as calling Kanato a "hysteric" and Reiji, "shichisan megane" ("Tableware Otaku" in English). He hates being told what to do and is easily impatient. When he wants something, he will spare no time to get it. Whenever things go his way, he acts unsurprised.

Ayato has a hard time expressing his feelings and tends to hide them with insulting words. He also quickly gets jealous of anything, such as Yui being around the other vampires. He is sadistic and possessive towards Yui, and in some cases, can be perverted. However, he claims that he doesn’t care for someone like her and that he enjoys torturing her just for fun of it. Despite Ayato's villainous traits throughout the series, he eventually redeems himself, showing real affection and love for Yui in the end
