Yashiro Tsurugi

"Try showing me what this power of bonds you speak of is all about..."

Yashiro Tsurugi (剣 弥代) is a player-character in Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE. His Japanese voice actor is Yoshimasa Hosoya.

Profile
Yashiro is an eighteen year old idol, like Kiria, and a Mirage Master. His Mirage partner is Nabarl. His hit single is called "Black Rain". He appears to have some connection to a mysterious incident from five years ago in which both the performers and actors on stage vanished into thin air, including his father and Tsubasa Oribe's sister. His birthday is February 10th.

For some reason, he stands before Itsuki and the others of Fortuna Entertainment. Although he initially acts as an antagonist, he eventually joins the party after they defeat him alongside Excellus.

Personality
Yashiro has perfectly mastered dancing, singing and acting and is considered a superstar. He has a personality as cold as ice and very rarely shows his emotions. Taking care to evaluate himself at all times, he is top class as a performer and Mirage Master. Yashiro is initially hostile to the party, and looks down on their abilities as Mirage Masters, he seems particularly disappointed in Kiria. He remains cold to others even after joining the group, but begins to warm up to them through his side missions.

Etymology
Yashiro's surname means "sword", referencing his Myrmidon class.
