Character Profile: Yuki Sohma

Yuki is a mysterious, smart, and athletic bishounen (beautiful boy) that almost everyone likes. Hiding behind a cool exterior, Yuki actually yearns for a normal life without hidden secrets and mysterious curses. Playing the kind, thoughtful prince in school, Yuki even has his own fan club! Yuki may seem confident and fearless, but he has a scarred past that hides in the crevices of his fears.

Yuki Sohma is part of the cursed Sohma family, and whenever he embraces a person of the opposite gender, he turns into a rat.

Yuki Sohma is the most popular guy at Kaibara Highschool. He even has his own fan club, which is rumored to consists of over half the girls at school. Yuki is very polite and kind towards other, but he claims to act like that so people could like him. Yuki has some serious self esteem issues. After meeting Tohru Honda, Yuki looked at himself differently, and slowly the deep scars of his past began to heal. Yuki scorns himself for not knowing Tohru ealier.

Yuki's rival is the cat, Kyou Sohma. Yuki envies Kyou, who isn't stuck inside "that Sohma cage", so Yuki gets annoyed whenever Kyou talks about becoming one of the zodiac. Yuki appears to be better then Kyou in everything he does. They constantly fight each other over some of the silliest things, but Tohru thinks its a good thing, because they "acknowledge each other". Yuki isn't a morning person, and Kyou claims "he fights harder when he's like that" meaning Yuki's been holding back when he fights Kyou.

Yuki also has an older brother, Ayame Sohma. Until Tohru came along, the two brothers weren't very close. Now, they are slowly beginning to understand each other. Whenever Shigure, Ayame, or someone says something 'lecherous' or 'rude', Yuki gets annoyed and stands up for Tohru. He cares greatly for Tohru. Kagura Sohma sometimes calls Yuki Yun-chan. And he sometimes calls Kagura, Kagura-nee (big sister.) He also feels close to Kisa Sohma, because, like her, he went through a period in which he wouldn't speak.

Yuki's two major fears are Akito Sohma, and small, confined spaces.
