Profile and information:In the beginning of the story, one of the very first characters that Recca meets is none other than 16-year-old Yanagi Sakoshita. Yanagi first appears in the first episode where Recca pushes her out of the path of some falling pipes in a construction site. He was badly injured and Yanagi risked used her secret healing powers to heal his wounds. From that point on, Recca swore to be her personal ninja, protecting his "Princess" from any harm. In the manga, it's slightly different, and less heroic. Recca sees Yanagi being pestered by a bunch of guys asking her out on a date (Yanagi: Date? What's that?) and beats them up for her. Unfortunately he gets knocked out by them (The ratio is pretty unfair) and Yanagi heals him, asking him to keep her power a secret. He agrees, and in turn decides to show his own special power - the ability to create flame from his bare flesh - to this girl with whom he is strangely attracted to. The end result is the same, with Kagerou beating up Recca and injuring Yanagi, yada yada yada.
Yanagi is a very sweet girl who hates to see her friends in pain. Although she cannot fight, she contributes to the team by helping them to heal their wounds sometimes. Unlike Fuuko, who can pretty much take care of herself, Yanagi does not have any special abilities other than her aforementioned healing powers, and depends on her friends to rescue her whenever in danger. Unfortunately, Kouran Mori has been eyeing her powers because he believes that she is the key to achieving immortality, and he will do anything to get it.
Despite the fact that Yanagi is portrayed as the "Damsel in Distress" in this story, she isn't as weak as she looks. During the first part of season one, Kurei was torturing her, hoping that by doing so, he would trigger her healing powers and, subsequently, find out the identities of Recca, Fuuko and Domon when they entered his mansion to rescue her. She knew that her friends where coming and refused to reveal who they were. (Telling him Recca's name doesn't count, since she didn't know that Kurei knew about him) She managed to hold on and stay alive long enough for the others to rescue her, and this shows that she has an incredible amount of determination and will power. She even volunteered to be the prize in the Dark Martial Combat Competition! (Recca refused to let her do it originally, but she managed to convince him.) The reason for this is because she feels useless, since she cannot fight and she wants to prove that she too can help the team by offering to be the prize. Yanagi is considered quite beautiful by many, and this is what attracts so many guys to her, mainly one, Recca. He himself is in love with Yanagi, and although both are too shy to admit it, they do make a good couple.
