He gets inspired by people who work hard at something, whether or not they are victorious, and likes to support them. Yuusaku eventually joins the Myoujou High School baseball team, playing center fielder, despite not knowing how to play the game. He has a cat, Taisuke, which he finds in a box at the side of the road.
