Yuuto Ichika

Her earliest origins in canon begin with the storybook shorts in the speedrun marathon Yuuto Ichika Saves Lives, where she was the lowest performing magician in her school. Unsatisfied with herself being berated by her classmate Jujo frequently, she asks her mother for help. Though her mother helped realized Yuuto’s magic potential, Yuuto was still too weak. This led to Yuuto fleeing her home to focus on training. After being missing, Yuuto attends a magic contest in her school, which she won by maximizing the utility of the only spell she knows, Telekinesis. However, victory was cut short. The enraged Jujo burns down the venue, as she was not able to win the prize money she needed to pay the hostage fees to free her sisters from a mysterious figure. After Yuuto and her mother discovers the issue, they fight against the mysterious figure and save Jujo’s sisters. Unfortunately, Yuuto’s mother was nowhere to be found after the battle. This is where Yuuto’s journey to find her mother begins.

In Yuuto’s One Time Wonder, Yuuto sets off to learn new spells to prepare with her search for her mother. However, she struggles with fighting others, as she cannot use magic to create bullets. Fortunately, with her telekinesis abilities, she’s able to perform spells by using an object’s matter. At the end of her journey, she finds out that she’s a bootleg of a much stronger magician. She was taught how to cast spells properly without using an object’s matter, but her powers are still weak. One day, she finds herself in a cave, which transported her into another world.

Knowing that she’s a bootleg, she becomes very insecure of what people will think about her. After fighting Chizuru in Super Ledgehop, she finds out that despite the lack in her magic powers, the way she uses them in her own style is what makes her unique.

Being encouraged by this, she fights more with confidence once she met Chizuru again. The two fight together to escape government forces trying to arrest them, as Chizuru was framed to be the senator’s kidnapper. After Chizuru gets cornered by the police for murdering the governor, Yuuto steps in to protect her. Chizuru’s uncle Tito tried to explain the governor’s malicious plan to the cops, but they would not believe him. He then buys Chizuru and Yuuto time to escape by getting himself arrested by the cops.

Months after Chizuru disappears, Yuuto continues to live her life in Shinecoast City while learning new spells. In Yuuto Ichika Makes Friends, she learns the ability to travel to other worlds. With this, she can travel back home to her world. But before she returns home, she wants to say goodbye to her dear friends. As she tries to find her friend Chizuru, she befriends people in town by fusing objects with delicious cookies. By helping people in town as part of the community service assigned to her by Liz, she was able to get a lead on where Chizuru went. However, their encounter was bittersweet, as Chizuru prioritizes the safety of her friend Yuuto. The two hug and say their farewells again, as Chizuru knows that Yuuto will become strong enough to save her in the future.

Though Yuuto learned the ability to travel to other worlds, she decided to make Shinecoast City her home. She would travel back to her world, but her mother was nowhere to be found there. So she continues to travel to other dimensions in hopes of finding her mother and learning new skills, which is why she appears in other game series outside of LAME Dimension.

Though still being unable to find her mother in multiple attempts of travelling to other worlds, she is content with her life in Shinecoast City. She continues to make friends and help other fellow magicians who struggle with realizing their magic potential. In Hazuki Dies, Yuuto befriends Hazuki and gives her spellbooks to help Hazuki survive from the dangers of Shinecoast City.
