Seiwa Yumehira

"My goal is complex, yet simple. Easy, yet hard. I would like to ignite the flames within the hearts of the people. Flames produce light. Light drives away the darkness. Flames in many people remain unlit, and darkness surrounds them. However, when walking through a dark cave with a torch, one must only use the flame from their torch to set ablaze the torches on the wall. This brightens the room. So it is my duty as a holy man to travel the Worlds, seeking unlit flames. If even so much as a single spark is ignited in an unlit flame, my work is done with that person. The more lights there are, the brighter the room is. So if every heart was lit with purifying light, the darkness would be driven away by the overwhelming intensity of the bright light. That is my goal... My dream."

- Seiwa Yumehira

Seiwa Yumehira (夢ひら清和天, Yumehira Seiwa) is a spiritually-aware student at Karakura High School. Due to being killed in a hostage situation, attempting to save the life of a small boy, he was forced to wander as a Plus. However, upon meeting, and failing to defeat, Madara Kawahiru, Seiwa was thrust into the world of the Shinigami.

History
Seiwa was born to his unnamed mother and unseen father in the Okinawa Prefecture. He lived a simple and normal life, despite the lack of a father figure in his life. At the age of eight, he attempted to enroll at an Aikido school, but was rejected due to being too soft when it came to fighting (something considered strange as Aikido is used to deal damage without use of force). However, his luck turned as he came across a small run-down school that taught Taekwondo. The student count was small, but from the look of things, the sensei teaching was neither judgemental, nor did he reject a student for something as silly as motive. For the following four years, he had trained in the Korean-native art of Taekwondo, earning a Black belt upon the age of fourteen.

After another two years, Seiwa obtained his second-degree Black Belt. His sensei knew that Seiwa understood the deep, true meaning of Taekwondo; to be used for more than violence and self-defense, but also for spiritual understanding. Despite being young, Seiwa was awarded the position of Assistant Sensei, and was seen as a role-model for the students he taught. Another year went by, and all was well for Seiwa. However, this time of prosperity for the young instructor was short-lived, as his mother caught a fatal sickness. She soon died that following year, prompting Seiwa to become more distant and cold in personality. One day, during the class he was teaching, three armed assailants ordered for the head sensei to empty out the money he had obtained through memberships. Refusing to comply, he was shot several times, as the guns were soon pointed for the children. Seiwa refused to allow this, and attempted to attack one of the robbers, but the latter effortlessly pushed him back with brute force, causing Seiwa to fall flat on his butt. Losing patience rather quickly, one of the assailants prepared to shoot through the head of one of the children, but moments before the trigger was pulled, Seiwa jumped in front of the shot, ending up with a bullet through the heart.

Unaware what transpired after that, Seiwa found himself atop of the same building that housed the Taekwondo school. He had noticed that his sensei had survived the barrage of bullets, and that none of the students were harmed. The robbers were caught, and all the money stolen was returned. However, something strange caught Seiwa's eye, as he looked to see a tombstone lodged in the backyard space behind the school. The sensei held a bouquet of flowers, and each student held a single rose, each respectfully placing it on the tombstone. As Seiwa got closer, he was shocked to see the name that was read on the tombstone: "Seiwa Yumehira".
