02Appearance
Yoma is a young Japanese man of slightly above average height and an athletic build. He has short light hair with several dark spikes sticking out of it and side-swept bangs. A model scout considers him attractive enough to recruit, also stating that his face is quite small.↗
After beginning to train his body from his manager's suggestion, Yoma rapidly becomes very muscular. All of his muscles become defined, including his serratus anterior muscles which surprises Rohan. Over time, his shoulder and ankle muscles form into the shape of wings like those of the god Hermes.↗
03Personality
After being hired as a model and working as an actor for a minor role in a movie, Yoma's confidence and dedication to improving his body progresses into egotistical self-obsession.↗
He follows a strict training regime, avoiding carbs and fats while only eating food containing protein. He decides that his diet would only contain steamed chicken, a heaping pile of egg whites, seaweed and mushroom salad, salmon with tomato sauce, Owson chicken salad, and a low-fat protein shake. He goes to sleep at 7 p.m., then wakes up at 4 a.m. and runs 10 kilometers.↗
Despite being in a cheerful mood while working out, Yoma becomes apathetic and rude toward others, lying and stealing for his own benefit as if everything was his own property. He becomes angry at minor infractions towards his strict training lifestyle and diet, not wanting to eat Walleye pollock roe spaghetti that his girlfriend Mika made and angrily yelling at a deliveryman who rang the doorbell three times at 7 p.m. He steals 5000 yen from Mika to buy protein and promises to pay her back but never does, and then eventually steals 270,000 yen from her debit card for his own personal training.↗
04Story
SPOILERS
The Run
Yoma Hashimoto was once scouted by a model production agency because of his good looks. He managed to have photos of him published in a magazine, and had a minor role in a film. During the production, he could see the actors Takeru Satoh and Gō Ayano from a distance.↗
One day, his manager told him to work out, as good poses and exuding a certain aura were more important than sheer talent. Thus Yoma began to seriously develop his body by frequenting the Morioh Grand Hotel's gym on the 8th floor. Here, he met Rohan Kishibe, who became his acquaintance as well as a minor rival in a game. Said game was to run alongside each other on treadmills and try to take a small remote first once a certain running speed was reached.↗
Incidentally, Yoma's progress was remarkable, his trainer and girlfriend Mika remarking how quickly his muscles developed. However, he also developed a narcissistic streak and became obsessed with exercising. Living at Mika's apartment, he soon crowded her home with training equipment, but would also fight with her over his protein-rich diet and general obsession with fitness.↗
On October 20th of a certain year, Yoma's personal trainer was unavailable because of a client. Frustrated, Yoma knocked out the client with a chokehold, beat him to death against a nearby wall, and hid the body using cement. Yoma later stole 270,000 yen from Mika's credit card to subscribe to an expensive training program, covering her apartment and the building's facade with a bouldering set. At wit's end, Mika broke up with him and ordered him to leave.↗
During one of his training sessions, Yoma met Rohan again. Despite a previous loss at their game, Yoma tried to ignore the manga artist until the latter teased him about his career. Upset, Yoma accepted Rohan's challenge. Exhibiting his exceptional body, causing Rohan to lose confidence, Yoma also threw a dumbbell at the window behind them, transforming the game into a life-or-death situation.↗
At the critical moment, Yoma grabbed the remote first. Although he claimed victory, Rohan's command forced him to stop Rohan's treadmill, and Yoma was propelled backwards out of the building. Failing to grab the ledge, Yoma only menacingly muttered Rohan's name.↗
Although his ultimate fate is unknown, Rohan is sure that Yoma's athletic abilities enabled him to survive the fall or maybe stop his fall by clinging to the facade. He also reveals that Yoma is likely an avatar and is currently possessed by the God of Muscle, Hermes. Paranoid that Yoma would come back for him, Rohan decides to run.↗
