Character Profile: Yu Kanda

Yu Kanda is one of the colder, antisocial characters. He was introduced as a gatekeeper in the beginning of the series, which is how he met Allen. That was also the start of calling Allen moyashi or bean sprout. He says that because he's comparing himself to Allen in height and width.

Kanda also hides his emotions. He said that he wasn't going to save Allen if he was about to die because he put his emotions first. But in the end, despite his own wound, he saved Allen, Lala, and Gozoru. He also said he didn't care about the Finders, but he ends up saving a Finder that accompanied him on a number of missions.

One of the closest members of the Black Order is Lavi. Even though he hates being called by his given name, he lets Lavi call him that. But Lavi was almost killed by braiding Kanda's hair and calling him Yu when they were on a train.

He seems to have a vow to find a special person he calls "that someone".

Kanda has a lotus flower in an hourglass, which seems to tell him how much time he has left to live.
