Daigo, Yuuya

醍醐雄矢

Yuuya Daigo serves as the captain of Magami High School's Wrestling Club and possesses skill in hand-to-hand combat. While he appears hardened on the outside, he is actually quite sensitive and honest. Despite his athletic background, he enjoys cooking and hopes to attend culinary college. He holds a strong sense of justice and dislikes frivolous people, such as Kyouichi, who seems that way to him. Yuuya has a major crush on Komaki Sakurai, and he tries hard to please her (by cooking elaborate meals) and stay by her side.
Yuuya keeps his past to himself—until it comes back to haunt him. He had a difficult time in middle school after his mother passed away. He hated his professional father, which led him to become a delinquent and brutish thug; he even had a faceoff with Kyouichi during their younger days on the streets. Although it is never discussed in detail, Yuuya was trained by the Shinto priest Arai, who seems to know about the high schooler's Star of Fate and the on-going struggle they all face.
He sometimes fights with magical chains, kept wrapped around his arm. In the second season, his Star of Fate is revealed as Byakko, the Vessel of the White Tiger, and Yuuya is the first to metamorphose into the deity, much to Komaki's distress.
Yuuya is a descendant of the Buddhist monk Yuukei Daigo from the game Tokyo Majin Gakuen: Gehouchou.
