The only reason he ended up in Class F was that he did not study at all and he holds the strong belief that grades are not everything. However, due to the consequences he 'suffered' from his defeat from Shōko Kirishima(his childhood friend and the top student of his level), he became motivated to study again. In the later volumes, his Shōkanjū became reasonably strong in just a few months due to his test scores improving by leaps and bounds. It is implied that he is actually smarter than his childhood friend, Shōko. After the tournament in Volume 2, he acquires a platinum bracelet which allows him to control the size of the force field of his Shōkanjū, allowing him to form a one-man army since humans cannot pass through this force field. He bears no ill intention towards Shōko, but due to Shōko's unyielding obsession with marrying Yūji since their childhood days, he sees her as having a few loose screws in her mind, and fears to even think of his future if he did marry her. In the anime, it is suggested that they act like a married couple though she tends to treat him as a slave in order for him not to escape her. Despite this, he does actually think well of Shōko and it is implied to have feelings for her himself, although he denies this. Yūji is close to Akihisa to the point where they can actually communicate without any words. A gag in the series is that Yūji will attempt to decipher a complicated expression on Akihisa and comment on a series of events that must have taken place. While he meant it as a joke, he is always a spot-on when this happens. His Shōkanjū wears a long trench coat that makes it look like a punk, and is armed with brass knuckles. During the ESB field error, his Shōkanjū becomes a handsome adult version of himself, wearing a school uniform with an open collar, much to Shōko's delight. Hideyoshi Kinoshita is a chilled and very feminine-looking bishōnen and is the younger twin brother of Yūko Kinoshita of Class 2-A. Despite being a fraternal twin, except for his male body, he looks almost identical to his twin sister. Because of that, his male peers, and many of his female peers, see him as a female, which upsets him though he doesn't express
