Creator notes

He is the Rat of the Chinese Zodiac. Known to his classmates with various nicknames such as “Prince Charming”, Yuki is depicted as an attractive, reserved, and a very accomplished young man with many admirers. However, due to his broken family, abusive childhood, and the effects of the Curse, Yuki has severe self-esteem issues and feels isolated. He has a fan club at school named Prince Yuki Fan Club, though the result is that Yuki feels further isolated.

Yuki lives together with Shigure Sohma, and the two are later joined by Kyo Sohma and Tohru Honda. As he gets to know Tohru, he tries to convince himself that he’s in love with her, but later comes to terms with the fact that he had been looking for a mother figure in her. Fueled by Tohru’s kindness, Yuki finds the courage to stand up to his own weaknesses, and eventually becomes president of the student council despite his misgivings. He’s better at making friends now, but his curse is not broken in this story.

While Yuki is viewed as a perfect, untouchable prince by most of his peers at school and displays a very kind and charming personality,[2] he is also awkward, terrible at cleaning and cooking, and lazy around the house.[3] Furthermore, Yuki has a multitude of issues which stems from the abuse he received during his childhood; he has severely low self-esteem, feels isolated and lonely, is terrified of rejection, keeps people at a distance, and struggles to communicate his true feelings in a natural way. Yuki is also acutely attentive to his actions and how they may be perceived by others, resulting in him having a very cold and closed off countenance. He feels like he is trapped in the façade of the ideal prince everyone loves from afar, because he was convinced that no one would ever accept his real self. In fact, rather than being admired from afar, Yuki wishes to have friends of his own, and envies Kyo for being able to socialize more easily than he can.[4] He also admits that above anyone or anything, his biggest enemy is himself as his inferiority complex makes him compare himself to others and feel insecure almost all the time.[5]

However, Yuki gradually begins to recover from his past issues and finds the courage to stand up to his own weaknesses and learn to be himself thanks to Tohru's influence. Kakeru and Machi also help Yuki open up more and express his feelings frequently. As time goes on, Yuki opens himself to others and lets himself enjoy life the way he wasn't able to before, and becomes happier, more outspoken and relaxed, and not as worried about upholding his image as a prince. Because of this, Yuki gains more confidence and begins showing more of his witty, snarky, cheeky, and sometimes arrogant personality, often saying things that make fun of or provoke other people. But he becomes more sensitive and self-conscious as well, as he acknowledges how unfair and self-serving his way of blaming his problems on others was, he decides to focus on working with the bad things about himself and stop looking for something or someone to blame. Yuki even decides to forgive Akito, despite all the pain she inflicted on him, simply because he wanted to move on with his life, unbound by the pain of the past.[6] Despite such things, he is also known to be a very kind and compassionate person, as he is able to reach out to both Kakeru and Machi and help them with some of their respective issues,[7] and helps Kisa Sohma with her self-doubt.[8]
