User:Self-Proclaimed King/Fuutarou Uesugi

I'm going to have all five of you graduate with smiles on your face! Fuutarou Uesugi is the main protagonist of the 5Toubun no Hanayome series. He is a student of the Asahiyama High School. He lives with his father, Isanari Uesugi, and younger sister, Raiha Uesugi, in a small apartment.

He is a serious and hardworking high school student, and a prodigy at the top of his grade. Because of his family's perpetual poverty, he takes up the offer to tutor the Nakano quintuplets.

At some point in the future, he marries one of the quintuplets, whose identity remains a mystery as they are identical.

Background
Fuutarou Uesugi was born on April 15, seventeen years before the start of the story. From childhood to teenage years, Fuutarou lives with his father, Isanari Uesugi, and younger sister, Raiha Uesugi. His mother passed away when he was six.

His family is poor and constantly in debt. They used to run a small cafe, located below their current apartment. As such, he has been living a frugal lifestyle. Without a mother, his sister takes over the housework, including cooking. Having been eating bland inexpensive food all his life, he cannot tell the difference between good and badly cooked foods. At the time of his wedding, his financial standing still has not improved much.

Five years prior to the start of the story, he went on a school trip to Kyoto. Eventually, he met a girl his age, who motivated him to study hard to become a responsible adult and provide for his family, especially his sister. He never asked the girl for her name.

He is a student at Asahiyama High School, where he is known to be at the top of his grade academically, regularly securing perfect grades. Despite having exceptional academic background, he has no friends, and only his father and sister are listed in his phone contacts.

Appearance
Fuutarou is a young man with a standard slim male physique, tall build and fair skin. Despite being tall, he slouches occasionally. His bluish-black hair is styled in a bowl cut, with two strands sticking up from the back of his head. Nino comments that he has a weird hairstyle, which Fuutarou claims was cut by Raiha.

Fuutarou has a stern-looking face, as well as a scary and thuggish demeanor. Miku has described it as being the "face of a bad guy."​​​​ Nino develops a crush on Kintarou and a younger Fuutarou who sports a delinquent-looking appearance, although she initially dismissed it as "dull-looking."

He is mostly seen in the typical uniform of Asahiyama High School, even when at home or going out, which consists of a short-sleeved white shirt tucked in long dark blue trousers, and a white belt. During cold seasons, he wears a light blue buttoned V-neck sweater over his shirt, which is also a part of the school uniform. For shoes, he wears a pair of black sneakers with white soles and black shoelaces for casual outings, although, after Labor Thanksgiving Arc, it has been shown that he wears a pair of high ankle sneakers with similar coloring.

During School Field Trip Arc, he wore the clothes Nino picked for him. This includes a khaki parka jacket over a light-color mock turtleneck long-sleeved shirt, which appears black in the anime depiction. It is not shown whether he wore it again after the field trip. Since School Field Trip Arc, he started wearing the charm bracelet his sister gives him. However, this has not been clearly depicted after the arc due to him wearing long-sleeved top.

During Fuutarou's Flashback Arc, a hospitalized Fuutarou is seen wearing a set of plain pajamas, which he seems to use as nightwear. He wore this outfit again during the Seven Goodbyes Arc when he goes out for a night walk with Itsuki.

When disguised for the school trip's test of courage, he sports a blonde wig that looks spikier and slightly longer compared to his regular hairstyle. To disguise as Kintarou, he additionally wears a black long-sleeved V-neck shirt and white trousers during his visit to Nino's hotel room . This clothing combination contrasts with his usual attire, where he has a light-colored top and dark-colored trousers.

In his childhood, Fuutarou sports a blonde, slick back and spiky hairstyle, much similar to the wig he wore when disguising as Kintarou. When Nino first meets Kintarou, she immediately notices the latter was the boy in the picture. He also wore an earring in his left ear, which he removed when he got older. During the Fuutarou’s Flashback Arc, a young Fuutarou wore a black hoodie, white trousers, and clogs.

During the Scrambled Eggs Arc, Itsuki is revealed to feel that their relationship is no longer that of partners, but to that of friends.

However as things went further, Itsuki slowly started to develop her feelings towards Fuutarou. Later, she was revealed to have disguised herself with her childhood hairstyle and using the twins' mother's name, Rena to fool Fuutaro. She did it twice, the first one to learn more about Fuutarou and the second was because of her concern to her and his feelings towards the trip to Kyoto. But Fuutarou had learned about the truth of Rena during the second attempt, scolding Itsuki (yet, still calling her Rena) to stop playing around to be in the disguise as he had become tired of the quintuplets disguising habit to get in close to him.
