Yukine

Yukine, whose real name is Haruki Tajima, is one of the three main protagonists of the Noragami series. He is Yato's shinki and guidepost, and a shinki of Father under the name Hagusa.

Appearance
In his human form, Yukine appears as a young teenager with short, messy hair. His hair is colored gold. However, his eyes are reddish-orange. The name given to him by Yato is located on his left collarbone, and the one given to him by Father is located on his upper right arm.

He is shorter than both Yato and Hiyori. His height is 147.4cm (or 4'10") according to the Animation Visual Book released. Despite being physically 14, it seems that Yukine appears even younger than his age. This can be noted from his small stature, Hiyori's shock when she realized he was only a year below her in school, and his previous neighbor's remark that he was small for his age in middle school. This is likely due to malnutrition and stress resulting from his father's abusive treatment.

Upon his first summoning, Yukine wears a simple white robe, resembling a Japanese shinishozoku (に). He is later depicted with a blue hoodie, loose grey jeans, and teal patterned knit cap.

Later on, he changes his attire to a white T-shirt, dark blue jeans, and a green knee-length jacket with a fur-trimmed hood.

Personality
Yukine speaks his mind freely and has a biting sense of humor. He is rather outgoing, making friends easily when given the opportunity.

He possesses a strong sense of right and wrong, and diligently works to improve himself after past mistakes. Over time, he also gains a sense of pride and responsibility toward guiding Yato as his lead shinki, becoming attached to the point that he is insecure of Yato relying on other shinki. Yukine is quite easily led by his emotions, sometimes acting impulsively without realizing the consequences– particularly when the matter concerns people who are important to him. He has a tendency to lock others out or lash out in anger when he feels betrayed, but normally demonstrates a deep sense of loyalty and protectiveness over the people he cares about.
