J the Star is a main turned supporting character in Yandere High School and a guest character in Tokyo Soul. He is a rich student that attended Akademi High School during Season 1. He was the original tritagonist but Grian replaced him.
He later appeared in Episode 35 of Tokyo Soul when his future self tried to save Sam, Taurtis and Grian from Terminator Rowan but immediately bails on them.
Appearance[]
J has brown hair and brown eyes and wears marine blue glasses. Like the other male students, he wears the standard beige uniform along with black pants.
In his swim attire, J is very physically fit and is described as being fit.
Personality[]
Other than the fact that J is a smart entrepreneur, he also aids Sam and Taurtis in their antics at the start of the series, either by giving them money when needed (most notably investing in Taurtis' Tauritos business), or helping them break into places such as the School's confiscated items office and the corner store. J may also be a bit perverted, as he asked Sam and Taurtis to break into Chan's house and steal her panties.
It's obvious enough that J is incredibly reckless and doesn't think much about consequences. It's hard to imagine his true motivations, or if he's really just doing everything for the thrill. To add on, he's also very desensitized to death and other dark topics, and doesn't care much for being safe around that. He'll go as far to crack a joke about it, like seen with Gareth's death. Even if it seems bad, though, J's laid-back attitude almost always works in his favor. For example, swinging a katana around could be dangerous, but he's still met with awe.
J is another student with a good reputation amongst the class. Even if he's not apart of the cool kids group, he was still invited to sit with them at some point. It's evidently known that his wealth is something he likes to brag about, so that could be a factor for why he's well-liked. Along with the fact he's easy to get along with, that even mean characters (like Soul or even Star) would want to be on his good side.
Although J is close friends with Sam, when Sam tries to replace Taurtis with him while Taurtis sat with the cool kids, J was visibly uncomfortable. He left Sam shortly after to go with Taurtis. This shows J does have his limits, although it's a bit unpredictable with how extreme he is sometimes.
Another thing of note is that J is a very hardworker. He's known to have at least two jobs, but still remains very athletic and high-energy, despite likely having to work so much.
