Yuu Mizuno

Yuu Mizuno (水野 祐, Yuu Mizuno?) is the main deuteragonist of Sanrio Boys. He is one of the best friends of Kouta Hasegawa and Shunsuke Yoshino who has a strong liking for the Sanrio mascot My Melody, but he is not shy to openly admit his love for Sanrio.

Appearance
Yuu is a fairly handsome and androgynous man whose height is above average. His build is slightly muscular, yet surprisingly slender. He has curly dark purple hair which he ties into a ponytail and styles with pink bobby pins. His irises are the same color as his hair, though slightly lighter in color, and he has a mole below his left eye.

Yuu wears his school uniform in a rather sloppy way, with his tie being tied rather loosely and his cardigan being baggy and unevenly buttoned. His belt hangs loosely around his waist with one end left hanging. He wears a blue collared shirt instead of a white one and loose dress pants paired with chocolate brown dress shoes.

Personality
Yuu is a very open, friendly, and kindhearted person who gets along well with almost everyone, except with his sister, Yuuri Mizuno, where they both appear to have some sort of love-hate relationship.

Yuu is shown to get emotional at times, especially when he gets into fights with his sister or with his best friend Shunsuke Yoshino.

History
When Yuu was younger, Yuuri Mizuno gave him a My Melody Cookbook which he kept with himself even until the anime’s present timeline. His sister’s gift to him is how Yuu’s obsession with My Melody first began. However, his sister did not expect him to keep the cookbook with him as he grew up, and their relationship started to deteriorate after she discovered that he still kept it with him, stating that Yuu was being childish for liking Sanrio characters.
