Yashiro, Yukihito
Summary
Yashiro Yukihito serves as Ren’s steadfast manager, initially presenting himself as a serious professional dedicated solely to his work. However, it is later revealed that he is not as stern as he appears and often provides comic relief. Upon first meeting Kyouko, he seemed uninterested in her, but his attitude shifted as he recognized Ren’s deep affection for her. He becomes a supportive ally, going so far as to engineer situations that allow Ren and Kyouko to be alone so Ren can make a romantic move. Yashiro possesses a peculiar condition where direct skin contact with electronics causes them to malfunction. He must wear latex gloves to handle any devices, including his personal cell phone, as direct exposure renders them useless within approximately ten seconds. This trait was notably exploited when he held Ren’s bare phone to coerce information from him, despite the device containing essential online dictionaries for Ren’s scripts. Kyouko theorizes that Yashiro naturally emits strong electric waves. His dedication to his role is evident in his meticulous planning, managing Ren’s schedule up to a year in advance. Kyouko discovered the extent of this organization when she temporarily filled in for him while he was ill. Furthermore, Ren’s impeccable punctuality, despite frequent encounters with mobbing fans, is attributed to Yashiro’s intimidating presence. A single cold glance from him is sufficient to halt even the most enthusiastic fans, ensuring Ren’s safety and schedule remain intact.
