Oh Yagyuu. I don't really know what it is about him, but after Niou (as Yagyuu) hit the tennis ball into Kikumaru's face... I fell in love. I know that technically means I should like Niou more, but this was before the Switch, so I didn't know. But then Yagyuu (as Niou) says Kikumaru's catch phrase was just awesome. Therefore, Yagyuu gets the love.
Up front, he's the epitome of gentlemanly, but behind the scenes he's dangerous, much more so than Niou. I like to think of him as a magnificent bastard. Mainly because I just can see him being really mean, but it comes off as super nice. It's all about tone. Plus, he's a nerd and I can definitely relate to that.
