Chihiro Uwa

Uwa Chihiro (宇和 千尋) is a 1st year at Yamaboshi High and a new member of the Student Cultural Society. Chihiro practices karate at the same dojo as Yui.

Personality
Chihiro can be described as calm and self-absorbed. He speaks rather rudely, especially to Taichi, and tends to prioritize his own ambitions over moral righteousness. He has a sharp, sarcastic sense of humor.

Chihiro has also proven to have a short-temper; in Nise Random, he vented his anger by beating Aoki up in the streets using Aoki's sister's appearance.

Key Problem
In Nise Random, he finds the world boring and accepts Heartseed's offer to make the world more interesting by using the power of Illusion Projection. Chihiro's self-centeredness would later be the cause of much strife within the Cultural Club.

Appearance
Chihiro is a young man of average height with steel blue asymmetrical hair and dark brown eyes. He is usually described by others as having a androgynous appearance. He typically forgoes his school uniform's jacket and fashions earrings.

Background History
Chihiro originally wanted to join a more prestigious school, but, to his frustration, he failed to score high enough to be admitted. As a result, he was forced to attend Yamaboshi High. Chihiro joined the Karate Club at first but found that their level wasn't up to his standard and quickly left.

Relationships

 * Kiriyama Yui: The two attend the same dojo and are shown to be close friends. Yui was the one to force Chihiro to join the StuCS. Chihiro knows Yui well enough to understand her weaknesses, which he is more than willing to exploit.
 * Yaegashi Taichi: Despite Taichi being an upperclassman, Chihiro initially lacks any special respect for him and often pokes fun at Taichi's expense. After Nise Random, Chihiro finds Taichi to be very reliable and is able to ask him for help and advice. Chihiro expresses guilt after causing Yui and Taichi to lose their memories.
 * Enjouji Shino: A classmate and fellow StuCS club member. Shino and Chihiro do not initially get along but during the Nise Random arc, they become very close friends and help each other confront Heartseed together. Whenever Shino directs a comment towards Chihiro, he often responds with irritation, sometimes aggressiveness. Nagase suggests Chihiro is a tsundere, which he denies.
 * Aoki Yoshifumi: Fellow StuCS club member. Chihiro was jealous of the closeness between Aoki and Yui. After Nise Random, he accepted their realationship and did not interfere with those two.

Trivia

 * Chihiro is the only person in school Taichi regularly calls by his first name.
 * Chihiro likes Rock Music and often browses CD shops.
