Yuuichirou Kumada |
Yuuichirou Kumada was a character who appeared only in the anime. His first appearance was in the episode "Grandpa Goes Crazy! Rei's in Jeopardy," where he fell in love with Rei Hino and moved into the Hikawa Shrine. Rei never directly confessed her love to Yuuichirou during the series, but on occasion she warmed up to his personality, and there were hints at the possibility of a future romance; the most notable hint was in "Usagi's Everlasting Wish! A New Reincarnation," when Sailor Mars admitted that she wished she had kissed him goodbye. Yuuichirou had long, shoulder length hair, with bangs that often covered his dark blue eyes, and always had stubble on his chin.
In the English dub of the show, Yuuichirou was renamed Chad, and his character was turned into a former band member who was down on his luck prior to meeting Raye.
