Yuki Sohma

草摩 由希

He is the Rat of the Chinese Zodiac. Known to his classmates with various nicknames such as "Prince Yuki" and "Prince Charming," Yuki is depicted as an attractive, reserved, and accomplished young man with many admirers. However, due to his broken family, abusive childhood, and the effects from the Curse, Yuki has low 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 in the house owned by Shigure Sohma, and the two are later joined by Kyo Sohma and Tohru Honda. As he gets to know Tohru, he begins thinking he's in love with her, but later realizes he had been looking for a mother figure in her. Fueled by Tohru's kindness and the strength she has given him, Yuki finds the courage to stand up to his own weaknesses and eventually becomes president of the student council despite his misgivings. In the process, he becomes best friends with Kakeru Manabe and falls in love with Machi Kuragi.
