Yuuichi Michimiya

Yuuichi Michimiya is the default name for the player's avatar, and is the main playable character.

Appearance
Yuuichi is a tan Shiba Inu with a cream-colored underbelly and reddish-brown eyes. He is usually seen wearing his school uniform, a light blue-and-white polo shirt, and, in casual situations, a light blue tank top.

Personality
Yuuichi is carefree, tending to go with the flow and whatever he feels like doing. This leads him to act impulsively and deal with the consequences soon after quite often. Though despite that, he happens to be very indecisive on top of that, especially when it comes with deciding what to eat. It's possible this nature of indecision as a vehicle for the player to guide Yuuichi through the game.

In combination with being indecisive, Yuuichi spaces out a lot and ponders with internal monologues. He does this with everyone, including his friends.

He is extremely self-conscious physically. Yuuichi is extremely uncomfortable with getting undressed, or being naked, around other people, even in lockers rooms where it's expected. While he has sexual experience, he's still afraid of doing anything with any of the dateable characters.

History
Yuuichi grew up as a tennis player after being taught by his father, who later became the victim of a hit and run and died a few months prior to the birth of Aki, 12 years before the events of the visual novel. Now he takes care of his younger brother while his mother works to provide for the two of them as a lawyer with high stakes cases going to the Supreme Court.

He becomes a rising tennis star who was built up as being undefeatable in the middle school years in the nation. But after being defeated by Takagi Tanabe, he started losing match after match. His loss of motivation infects more than his tennis as he starts shrugging off his duties and slowly getting worse grades at school. His academics in particular degrades to the point where he skips school assemblies, to the annoyance of teachers. Many of the starts of his days, just like the start of the game, are on the rooftops, which he enjoys relaxing at.

Despite these setbacks, Yuuichi is still the best tennis player in both his school and the prefecture. This makes him extremely popular among girls. Being really bad at saying no out of fear of hurting others' feelings, he's dated many girls, giving him some kind of a Playboy reputation. But his friends call him a 'Heartbreaker' because he ended a lot of relationships by not responding to messages until they break up with him.

After Kaito Morisaki and Kenma Sasaki visit, he feels the spark of enthusiasm that he needs and starts training.

Trivia

 * Yuuichi's natural gift includes the ability to improve and adapt, much to the point where everyone notes it whenever it happens.
 * Morisaki struggles to even score against Yuuichi by the end of their first day of tennis practice.
 * In Shoichi Route A&B, when Yuuichi does practice matches with Saya, she admits that they only started playing against each other a week ago and he went from not keeping up to giving Saya "more trouble than I've had in the National competition."
 * In Shoichi Route C, Haruki "hates to admit" that Yuuichi's volleyball blocking improved in a few hours to a point that most people would take weeks or months to get to.
 * In the Keisuke Route, Akiyoshi discusses this with Keisuke, summarizing it as "Everything comes natural to [Yuuichi]. It's annoying."
 * Yuuichi keeps track of his H2H against Shoichi in videogames.
 * On Day 1 (skipping the music room), the record goes from 1308-1306 to 1314-1310. Shoichi simply says that Yuuichi keeps track of the weirdest things.
 * On Day 29 (Shoichi Route C), the session ends at 1382-1375 after Yuuichi gets a Perfect round. He is accused of just making these numbers up at this point.
 * He had a pet goldfish named Yamato when he was younger. It died when Shoichi fed it chocolate while looking after him when Yuuichi was away.
 * Whenever he needs to quickly abrupt a phone call, Yuuichi tends to make the "going through a tunnel" excuse.
 * The earliest example is in Day 4, where he hangs up on Keisuke.
 * Ironically, he does this more in-person than on an actual phone call. Once with Jun, and another with Aki. In the Shoichi route, this routine is played for laughs instead.
 * Yuuichi usually cooks for his family, especially since his mother is extremely busy from work. He's learned as a kid and has been cooking for almost ten years since.
 * Cooking has become such a comforting chore that he copes with stress by cooking a lot to distract himself. This apparently happens a lot as Aki comments "this is getting really familiar by now" on Shoichi's Day 31 route, as Yuuichi is cooking up everything to keep his mind off of the upcoming date
 * Yuuichi has a habit of asking for advice and then ignoring it.
 * In Shoichi Route C, Haruki loses his temper when Yuuichi doesn't go confront Shoichi for being ghosted after already telling him to do so.
 * Saya brings up that she knows Yuuichi has this problem in Shoichi Route A&B when asked for relationship advice.
 * Yuuichi has a strong hatred of green tea and anything green tea flavored. He also does not like milk.
 * Yuuichi is currently the only character who's been subjected to one of Shoichi's horrible concoctions.
 * As stated by Shoichi, Yuuichi is a doting brother to Aki. This is due to the very close relationship the two have since Yuuichi primarily takes care of Aki due to their mother being away often for work and their father being deceased. It is also shown when he tries to object to Aki going out on his first date. He gets called a Brocon for this behavior (and vehemently denies it).
 * He is notorious for deleting sponsorship emails from companies who wish to be his sponsor for his career. This somewhat changes when he receives a sponsorship offer from Regent, the largest tennis equipment company in the world. Instead of deleting the email, he simply puts his phone in his pocket, stating that you can't simply turn down a sponsorship offer from Regent.
 * He is idolized by Yuuya Kokonose, who he faces in the finals of the Prefectures.
 * He was initially unaware of Keisuke's relation to the Urushihara Corporation.
