Unfortunately, his low self-confidence doesn’t allow him to realize just how great he truly is. He has shown to have interest in several girls, particularly Io. He disagrees with Yamato's and Ronaldo's ways that he thinks too extreme since he wishes for future cooperation instead. His death clip shows him being frozen and shattered by a Bai Suzhen, but his survival of the incident is mandatory. At the end of the game, he leads the faction supporting an attempt to find a resolution to the crisis that does not involve his friends fighting each other; however, if the protagonist sides against him, he can be persuaded to join any other faction upon his defeat.

This frustrates Airi several times because she thinks that Io is very superficial, and when she tells Io to say what’s on her mind, Io realises that she hardly even has any opinions of her own. She pauses a lot when talking and Yamato chews her on her non-confrontational policy. At the last two days, she eventually found her resolve and decided to be more courageous on expressing her own feelings. Her death clip shows her dying from the strain of maintaining Lugh's power.

Reception
RPGamer noted that within the cast of Devil Survivor "their development is fairly shallow despite the copious amounts of dialogue, making the main appeal of the story its branching paths."[9] Sam Hansen from RPGFan praised the "mannerisms of the characters and the changes that the setting goes through makes for an extremely powerful experience" yet still noted that within the cast there were cliches such as the main character being a messiah figure and that he had whiny love interest.[10]
On the other hand, the cast of Devil Survivor 2 was much better received with publications finding most of them as likable characters and their further characterization thanks to the Fate System.[11][12][13] In regards to the cast's role in the anime adaptation, Richard Eisenbeis from Kotaku praised the development of Yamato Hotsuin's character, crediting as an "excellent villain" and liking his relationship with the main character.[14]
