Next Jump to   
Yuki, attractive and popular, is the heartthrob of his high school. Even though he is often encountered by a Yuki fan club run by the crazy girls who love him, he does not accept any girl's crush on him or let any girl hug him. However, he confesses his love for Tohru Honda in volume 11 and end of 10 in the manga series, though it was later revealed that his love for Tohru was not romantic, but actually more along the lines of thinking of her as a maternal figure in volume 14. This is possibly a result of his distant relationship with his real mother. As a child, Yuki was traumatized by Akito Sohma, the leader of the Sohma family. When Yuki was younger Akito Sohma was cruel to Yuki. He told him terrible things that he could never forget, like that he was the most hated member of the family, and that if it weren't for him he would have no reason to exist. These statements were seemingly confirmed by the behavior of the rest of the family; Hatsuharu proclaimed he hated Yuki, despite the fact he had never met him before and his brother, Ayame, brushed off his cry for help. Everyone else in the zodiac did not speak with him, though that was probably not an intentional snub on their part. On top of being mentally abusive, Akito was often physically abusive as well, and sometimes would lock Yuki away inside a dark room to torment him. As a result of the combined abuse, Yuki has terribly low self-esteem, and suffers from self-hatred and an inferiority complex.

Yuki's worst enemy would be Kyo Sohma, the cat of the zodiac. Hatsuharu Sohma felt animosity towards Yuki during part of their childhood because of the story often told to Haru about the rat taking advantage of the stupid cow, which made Haru develop an inferiority complex towards his older cousin. However, after actually meeting Yuki face-to-face Haru was able to see Yuki's extreme kindness and the two became close allies.
Yuki also feels a close connection with his cousin Kisa Sohma, as Kisa was teased because the children in her class thought she was different from others. Until Tohru Honda touched her heart, she couldn't speak and didn't go to school. Likewise Yuki, despite his popularity, rarely interacted with anyone on a personal level and was extremely private and introverted. Until he met Tohru, Yuki was afraid of becoming close to anyone because of an incident during his childhood when his secret was discovered by his friends during a game of tag, when Akito ordered Hatori Sohma to erase the children's memories, thus leaving Yuki alone and without friends. After meeting Tohru, Yuki started warming up to other people and becomes much more social, and while still keeping his fanclub, begins to pursue his own love interests.
Yuki also appears to have respiratory problems, due to weak bronchi, and gets regular checkups from Hatori to monitor his condition. In his childhood these asthma attacks were apparently frequent, though they appear to be less so in the present. Still, he has to take extra precautions because he occasionally has attacks, which could cause him to transform in public.
After Kyo was freed from the curse, a series of events was triggered and the rest of the cursed Sohma family members became free. Yuki is the last Sohma member to be freed, noticing this as he was talking to Machi. The god spirit had taken the rat spirit, with the god thanking Yuki for keeping his promise for a long time. Perhaps Yuki was the last one to be freed because he was the rat, the first of the Jyunishi.

Yuki is the rat of the 12 zodiac members.He is treated like a prince in his school mainly because he looks really cute and charming.Almost every girl in his school see him as an ideal guy and even a fan club was set up to worship his charm.But deep down inside,he dislikes the attention he gets and has pretty low self-esteem.

Contrast to his image in school,Yuki is actually very untidy.He stacks rubbish and junks in his room and if it wasn't for Tohru,they would still be there now.His martial arts skills surpasses Kyo's,and he sees Kyo as his archrival.On the other hand,he cares deeply for Tohru and like Kyo,he constantly tries to protect Tohru from harm.
Due to his past,he's not too close to his elder brother,Ayame.Even though Ayame tries to bridge up the gap between them,Yuki still can't seem to accept him just yet.He fears Akito the most and he wants to avoid Akito by all means.
