Personality
Ichiro has a reserved and mysterious personality. He is very pessimistic and is someone who greatly distrusts others (specifically adults and people older then him), feeling that most of them are insincere and manipulative due to his past. Despite this, Ichiro is also shown to have a manipulative side to himself and can become quite fearsome. He has a tough time expressing his feelings and is unsociable with people, regardless, Ichiro shows to be very thoughtful towards others and cares deeply for his friends.

When he arrives on earth he enrols into Yusei Middle School as a first year student and is quickly referred to as "Prince" at school. Ichiro appears to be very popular, with some secret admirers, and haters, with his quick and unusually close relationship with Yukimura Aiko. Along with being the prince of the Shadow Kingdom, he never liked seeing people suffer as time went on and gained a sense of opposing his older brother but could not do so.

Abilities
Shadow Manipulation - Ichiro has the ability to control and manipulate shadows. He is able hide or travel through them, making himself enter his own dimension, that can or cannot be transparent to the real world. This power is seen in Episode 1, when Ichiro travels into a guards shadow to get to a different location in the castle. His eyes start to glow whenever he uses this power.

Eyes - Ichiro can see the inner part of a person's Jewel Heart when corrupted, which helps with identifying the person's wish, this also results in his eyes starting to glow a brighter shade of red.
