Yusuke Kitagawa is a mildly annoying artist who always sounds like a thesaurus, much to the dismay of the rest of the group. He has an intense passion for the arts and also admires his mentor, Ichiryusai Madarame. Yusuke has a crush on Ann Takamaki, who constantly rejects his advances. He's a little eccentric and seemingly operates on another plane of existence than the rest of his friends. He's very intolerant of certain personality types that don't match his aesthetic. He also has a bad habit of frequently ignoring and interrupting people.
