Yuuichi Aizawa

Personal Information

Yuuichi Aizawa (Seiyuu: Tomokazu Sugita), born in 1981, aged 17. Hair and eye color is brown and hazel respectively.

Yuuichi Aizawa (祐一 相沢) is friendly and outgoing who is unfortunately very insensitive towards women. He often teases the girls he met in his life which varies in severity depending on who he is teasing. Shiori Misaka likes to treat him as his older brother. He has visited the city where his cousin, Nayuki Minase, and he now lives before when he is younger but he now cannot remember the memories of his past here. As time passes, those memories slowly comes back to him as he interact with the people he once met in the past. He is afraid of heights.

While unaware of it at first, Yuichi slowly begins to take notice of the supernatural events occurring within the city. During these times of revelation when he will discover something outrageous, he stays strong with the ones he has made close friendships with. Although Yuichi is a normal person, he tries to help them as much as he can and will usually go out of his way in order to protect them.

Ten years ago, Yuuichi Aizawa was visiting his aunt Akiko Minase's house where he stayed with his cousin Nayuki Minase. During this time, it was summer vacation, and one day Yuuichi was outside playing in a barley field in town when he came across a young Mai Kawasumi. For the rest of the summer vacation, Yuuichi played with her in that field and became a very important friend for Mai who did not have any friends at the time due to her special powers. When Yuuichi had to go back home when the vacation ended, Mai pleaded with him not to leave her behind, even going as far as to lie to him saying that monsters started to attack the field where they once played hide and seek together. Yuuichi came back a year later and went to the field as before, but could not find Mai. The next time they would meet up would be ten years later.

Yuuichi came across a young injured fox on Monomi Hill during this time period. Yuuichi brought this fox back home with him and bandaged her injured limb while all the while trying to keep her hidden from Akiko and Nayuki; Yuuichi thought that if Nayuki found out that she would tell her mother and then Yuuichi may have to take the fox back to Monomi Hill. Despite trying to keep her hidden, the fox eventually snuck out of his room a few times though only Akiko found out about the wild animal. Akiko did not say anything, however, and thus let Yuuichi keep the fox in his room for the rest of the summer vacation. When the vacation ended, Yuuichi knew that he could not take the fox back with him and thus took her back to the hill where he first found her, saying goodbye and running in the opposite direction. This fox would later perform a miracle and become Makoto Sawatari ten years later.

Seven years ago, Yuuichi met a young girl of the same age one day named Ayu Tsukimiya who bumped into him crying in the shopping district. Wanting to cheer her up, Yuuichi initially bought her some taiyaki which helped her to stop crying. When they are about to part, Ayu and Yuuichi make a promise to meet up again. Over the course of the winter break Yuuichi had from school, he mainly hung out with Ayu. One day, Yuuichi manages to catch a small angel doll in a claw vending machine which he gives to Ayu as a present.

When the time between the two starts to wear thin, Ayu brings Yuuichi to a clearing in the woods where a large tree stands overlooking the city. Ayu, whom is good at climbing trees, likes to sit on a branch high up on the tree and look out over the cityscape before her. On their last day together, Ayu falls off the tree and injures herself to the point where she is unable to move her body. Before she loses consciousness, Yuuichi makes a promise to her that he will continue to play with her. That day, Yuuichi was going to give her the red hair band which she later wears seven years later. .

On that same day, Nayuki wanted to say goodbye to Yuuichi before he left the city; she found him at the train station. Nayuki was holding an artificial snow bunny made from snow for the body, leaves for the ears, and pebbles for the eyes in order to resemble a rabbit. Nayuki wanted to give it to him as a present, but then saw that he was crying. Nayuki approached Yuuichi, trying to ask him what was wrong, which causes Yuuichi to stand up and slap the snow bunny from Nayuki's hands, effectively destroying it as it hit the ground.

Yuuichi returns to the city where his aunt lives years later due to a family situation. It was decided that he would live there with her from now on until he decided to move out and live on his own.
