Misaki Yata

"The Red King? There's no reason to hate him, is there? He's the symbol of power! He's the best King! That person is my everything!"

- Yata referring to Mikoto Suoh.

Misaki Yata is a member of Homura, and acts as the group's commander. He and Fushimi seem to have a long history together, as he calls him a traitor.

Appearance
Yata has short spiky orange hair and eyes. He wears a white shirt with green shorts, a red jacket tied around his waist and a blue and orange shoe with black socks. Yata also wears a black tuque and his trademark white headphones. His Homura insignia is on the left side of his chest.

Personality
Yata has a straightforward personality and is sometimes hot-headed. He holds a great deal of respect for Suoh, even going as far as calling him the 'King.' He is cold to everyone else around him, especially if he finds himself irritated by them. Despite this, he has shown a kind side of himself.

Plot
Homura plans an operation to launch an "interrogation" on a well-known gang leader, who currently resides in one of the city's hotel suites. Yata stands atop the rooftop of a nearby building, patiently awaiting for the others to give him his cue; once Izumo tells him to start, Yata begins.

He breaks into the hotel suite from the outside, using the windows as an entrance, and once inside Yata starts beating the gang members with his baseball bat. Once done, he and the others wait for Mikoto and Anna. They arrive shortly to perform the "interrogation" and they, along with Yata and Izumo's team, learn that the gang leader does not know the answer to their questions. Yata angrily curses the man before leaving with his group.

Yata and the others are soon confronted by SCEPTER4 while in the hotel's lobby. The group initiates in a war cry after being told to "burn" the rivaling group, engaging in battle with them, which results in Homura being seemingly defeated.

Sometime after, Totsuka informs the others of Homura about Yashiro Isana, who coincidentally resembles their prime target. With the sudden news called to attention, Yata stops in the middle of his ramen meal, leaving abruptly to locate Yashiro. He finds the high school student near a shop and attacks, then chasing him once the latter flees. Rikio and Shouhei soon join him in the chase. The three eventually corner him in an alley with Izumo when Kuroh Yatogami appears, taking out Yata with ease, then escaping with Yashiro. Yata angrily wonders who Kuroh is.

Abilities
He is a very talented skater and he even uses his skateboard to fight and dodge attacks. Besides his skateboard, he uses a baseball bat or hand-to-hand combat when fighting. His fists glow a bright pink when he fights.
