Yahiro Utahoshi

Yahiro Utahoshi (歌星=矢尋, Utahoshi Yahiro) is a psychotic Shinigami working under Masato Nagareboshi. Yahiro prefers to fight alone without his teammates interfering, and he puts on his headphones and blocks out the outside world by listening to music, even describing himself as an "intolerable devil". Despite his brashness, Yahiro is highly intelligent; often acting as a strategist to his team. Before Chira Tendou took Yahiro in, the young man was a feared serial killer, until Chira bested him in one-on-one combat. After Gai Nagareboshi's defection to Masato's side, Yahiro immediately takes a shine to him, surprisingly. Yahiro is labelled a mad scientist, with genius compared to Mayuri Kurotsuchi or possibly exceeding his insanity and talent. Known as a prankster, Yahiro is fond of experimenting upon his teammates, and has several times attempted to anal probe Gai, which often leads to him being beaten horribly.

Personality and Traits
Yahiro is known for his explosive temper; Gai even notes that conversing with Yahiro is similar to "typing on a keyboard, though many a key sets off an explosion, and you haven't the foggiest clue of which keys set off explosions and which ones don't". True to his monkier of "mad scientist", Yahiro is knowledgable on the body and mind, whether it be physical or spiritual, and such knows what exactly to do to manipulate people to his very whims. Yahiro, as such, is supurb at manipulation and extortion, a fact which is further augumented by the fact that he has a vehemenent disinterest in other beings, as he believes that they are so unlike him to the point that they are 'alien', in his own words; due to his view of others as foreign, he detests it whenever they engage in physical contact with him, though hypocritically, he has no qualms with invading the personal space of everyone else for the sake of his 'research', as he puts it. Because of his immense intellect and ability to get under peoples' skin, Yahiro calls himself an "intellectual rapist"; a fact that Gai agrees upon.

Despite being for all intents and purposes a low-functioning sociopath, Yahiro has scarsely shown concern and empathy for those around him, though he would deny it. This is best shown in his defection from Masato's side, where he chose to assist Gai because he had been kinder to Yahiro than any of the other members of the terrorist group. It is shown that when the rest of his allies are asleep, Yahiro experiments upon them; and in one such case, Gai sprouted a dragon-esque tail, which he promptly utilized to strangle Yahiro in rage. Yahiro has a habit of licking his lips whenever faced with a sufficiently interesting specimen, which is a reference to the most well-known psychotic doctor of all.
