Kiyotaka Yagashira[]
Kiyotaka Yagashira (家頭 清貴 Yagashira Kiyotaka) is the deuteragonist of [Kyoto Teramachi Sanjou no Holmes]. He is a 22-year-old working at [Kura]] as an appraiser. He is enrolled in Kyoto University in the graduate program. He is nicknamed "Holmes" though he finds it ridiculous.
Personality[]
Kiyotaka is noted to be very smart and perceptive. He can easily see through people's facades and lies, making him very keen and observant. When he first met Mashiro Aoi, he correctly deduced everything about her including where she was from in Saitama, which grade she studied in and why she was in an antique shop. Kiyotaka is not afraid to call people out and expose them. But he only does it to reveal the truth in order to protect someone from harm or if he is requested to do so. As he said he is sensitive to people's inner temperament thus tries his best not to vocalize his real thoughts. But when faced with someone trying to sell fake antiques or someone he does not like his 'nasty' side comes out. Mashiro Aoi often comments on it calling it his "trademark nastiness". He dislikes "arrogant overbearing playboys" as it reminds him of his past relationship with Izumi (Kiyotaka's ex-girlfriend), therefore he did not like Akihito Kajiwara at first, but slowly got used to him, realizing that he was not just an arrogant overbearing playboy.
Though he proves to be very observant and has great deduction skills- which he's able to utilize when asked to discern a fake antique from a real one-Kiyotaka admits that when it comes to romance and his own feelings he is completely hopeless and fails to make objective judgements which then leads to him being unable to acknowledge and accept what he feels.
In a conversation with Aoi, he hints that he is interested in entering a new relationship but every time he tries to make a decision or think more of it, he is met with an answer that he cannot fully grasp thus making him question if he really wants to start a relationship in the first place. Even though he had been in a relationship in the past, Kiyotaka admits that he still finds himself quite inexperienced. He was flattered when Izumi asked him out and he was willing to date her due to the fact that he wanted to experience what it felt like being in a relationship. He then proceeded with saying that in the end, his relationship with Izumi was a bit of a mess.
