Yuzuru Ema

"It's just... I don't want her to be ruined like Hatohara."

- Yuzuru Ema

Yuzuru Ema (ユズル) is a B-rank (formerly A-rank) Sniper and a member of of Kageura Unit.

Appearance
Ema is a light-skinned boy of average build. He has thick eyebrows and medium-length, messy light brown hair that falls over his green eyes. His short stature and soft features caused Natsume to mistake him for a younger kid at first. His clothes are usually quite plain, and he appears to like wearing dark, long-sleeved shirts under a light sweater, which he keeps open.

Ema's uniform is comprised of a double-breasted, black military jacket which folds over the right side, where the coat is fastened by a vertical row of five buttons. On the wearer's right breast are two piped patch pockets closed by the same flap, and a second pair recurs at the height of the wearer's abdomen. The logo of Kageura Unit is emblazoned on each sleeve rather than on the jacket's high collar, as is the case for his teammates. Gray plain button epaulettes adorn the jacket's shoulders. The attire is completed by light gray cargo pants with a piped patch pocket and a zipper on the front of each leg, and black combat boots.

Personality
Ema is rather quiet and usually seen with a serious expression on his face. However, he doesn't seem to take his training too seriously, since he was more interested in making a shape with his bullets rather than hitting the target. He is fond of his previous mentor, Hatohara, and gets along well with Chika. He also despises Ninomiya Unit, most likely because of their perception of Hatohara.

Mirai Hatohara
Ema is fond of his master, and believes her to be a superior Sniper to both Tōma and Narasaka.

Masato Kageura
Ema respects his captain despite his violent behavior. They seem to have a good relationship and good teamwork, collectively taking down Sumiharu Inukai.

Isami Tōma
Ema is annoyed by how Tōma claims to be his mentor, saying Hatohara is his only mentor, but seems to get along with Tōma either way.

Chika Amatori
Ema compares Chika to Hatohara, and helps her out despite her being part of a rival team, as he doesn't want her to feel useless the same way his mentor did. He has a crush on Chika.

Izuho Natsume
Due to her proximity with Chika, Ema and Natsume befriended each other. He was disappointed to discover that Chika had also told Natsume about her unwillingness to shoot others. Natsume believes Ema to have a crush on Chika.

Ninomiya Unit
Ema hates Ninomiya for the way he treats Hatohara, and he seems to blame him for Hatohara's fate. His hatred also seems to extend to the rest of Ninomiya Unit.
