Yuuta Togashi is the main protagonist of the romance light novel series Love, Chuunibyou, and Other Delusions! and its TV series adapted by Kyoto Animation. He is a high school student who tries to move on from his embarrassing chuunibyou (a term meaning "middle-school syndrome") phase, where he adopted a persona called the "Dark Flame Master" who wants to purify the world, complete with costume, weapons, and edgy mannerisms. Togashi's desire for a normal school life is challenged when he meets Rikka Takanashi, a classmate who has her own chuunibyou persona.
Yuuta is a powerhouse contestant in International Saimoe League's male division thanks to KyoAni's historical influence and the support of the Rikka fanbase. After the release of the Take on Me film in 2018, Togashi elevated his status into a top-tier competitor and potential scepter contender, making his breakthrough in ISML 2019 where he won his first pendant award and reached the quarter-finals of the competition. Yuuta won his second pendant in ISML 2021, and then made a new best result in his career after he defeated Levi, Touma and Riku Dola in the playoffs to reach the finals for the first time, which is an impressive feat given that year was pretty much just a formality for Sakuta Azusagawa's championship.

"I am the Dark Flame Master. Perish enveloped in the flames of darkness!" Wrapping a bandage around his hand in order to seal away the (fake) power of darkness, making up (fake) spells of dark magic and collecting (fake) witchcraft tools – that was the middle school life of Togashi Yūta, an ordinary human being who believed himself to be extraordinary and in possession of supernatural powers. The memories cause the current him so much distress, he will roll around on the ground and bang his head repetitively on the wall from embarrassment. Strongly rejecting the existence of his delusional past after his return to reality, Yūta starts afresh in a high school far enough from his middle school to avoid meeting any of his old classmates. To his new classmates, he is just a normal high school boy, someone who is kind, optimistic and treats others well. In private, he has a strong sense of justice and is good at doing chores and looking after people. He leaves his alter-ego behind, resolved never to look back. But when a new acquaintanceship causes his past to return and haunt him, he is forced to step back and reconnect with his younger self. With the help of his friends, Yūta will come to new understanding of his past and its impact on his present self. To overcome his former self is not to reject it, but to accept it. Even if accepting something like that is easier said than done. Await the return of the glorious Dark Flame Master (Togashi Yūta)! | |||||||||||||||||||
