Yukiya Himuro

Yukiya Himuro (氷室 雪矢, Himuro Yukiya), is the main male protagonist of the anime and manga series Koori Zokusei Danshi to Cool na Douryou Joshi (The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague). A kind and soft-spoken office worker, Himuro is the descendant of a Yuki-Onna, a snow spirit from Japanese folklore. As a result of his heritage, his emotions especially when he becomes flustered, anxious, or affectionate manifest as sudden cold fronts, snowfall, or ice formations around him.

Despite his icy powers and somewhat shy demeanor, Himuro is a thoughtful, gentle, and deeply considerate individual. His romantic journey with his calm and composed coworker, Fuyutsuki-san, forms the heart of the series’ slice-of-life office romance, blending supernatural elements with relatable workplace charm.

Appearance in anime

Yukiya Himuro comes from a family descended from the Yuki-Onna, beings known for their ability to control ice and snow. Growing up with this supernatural ability made Himuro highly self-conscious, especially since his powers often activate involuntarily in emotional situations.

Determined to live a normal life, Himuro applies himself professionally and emotionally, joining a typical corporate office where he hopes to lead a peaceful existence. There, he meets Fuyutsuki-san, a calm and cool-headed coworker who not only accepts his powers but also helps him feel more at ease with himself. His interactions with her gradually draw him out of his shell and set him on a path of romantic and personal growth.

Appearance

Himuro is a tall, slender young man with silver-white hair and icy blue eyes, visually reflecting his connection to cold and snow. He usually wears professional business attire, such as a white dress shirt, blazer, and tie, though his powers sometimes result in unexpected snowflakes or frost clinging to his clothing.

His expressions often range from shy and surprised to thoughtful and bashful, particularly when he’s around Fuyutsuki-san or emotionally overwhelmed. When especially flustered, small snowmen or blizzards may appear around him, visually punctuating his emotional state.

Yukiya Himuro is gentle, reserved, and deeply empathetic. Despite his supernatural origins, he is quite human in his emotions and insecurities. He is often easily flustered and tends to overthink things, especially when trying to impress or spend time with Fuyutsuki-san. His heartwarming reactions are often accompanied by adorable visual cues, such as tiny snowstorms or ice sculptures that reveal his true feelings.

He takes his job seriously and always tries to be helpful to his coworkers, building close friendships throughout the series. His emotional journey revolves around learning to accept his unique nature and confidently express his feelings.
