Ryuu Yamada is tough and rough on the outside, often getting into fights and ignoring school rules.
He acts blunt and sometimes rude, but actually has a kind heart and can't ignore anyone in trouble.
Yamada has a strong sense of justice and hates bullying and unfairness.
He is secretly good at sewing and is known for his strange way of drawing, which his friends sometimes tease him about.
Whenever Yamada is deep in thought, his eyes look funny—like something out of a cartoon.
Yamada is a second-year B-class student at Suzaku High School.
His grades are poor and his behavior makes him unpopular with teachers and students.
Teachers often compare him to Urara Shiraishi, who is serious and smart, which makes his school life even harder.
Yamada mostly kept to himself after a fight during his first year, isolating him from everyone.
All that changed when he accidentally swapped bodies with Urara Shiraishi after falling down the stairs.
On the outside, he looks scary, but he really dislikes people who bully or scam others.
He used to get into fights so often that everyone saw him as a delinquent.
Yamada's special ability is to copy a witch’s power by kissing her.
He can only keep one ability at a time—when he kisses a new witch, the ability he had is replaced.
He can give the copied power to someone else if he wants.
Witch powers don’t work on him, making his copied power the "Joker card" among the witches.
At first, everyone thought the body-swapping power belonged to him, since he got it from kissing Urara Shiraishi.
After the first body swap, Yamada started to see Urara Shiraishi as someone special.
He later dated her after an important school ritual.
He joins the Supernatural Studies Club with Toranosuke Miyamura and Urara.
He goes out of his way to help friends like Miyabi Itou, even fighting off troublemakers to protect them.
Yamada and Urara eventually get married and have two kids.
"I'll make sure they never mess with her again."
