Fan Casting Taro Yamada in Yandere Simulator The movie

Taro is meant to be plain and average.[9] Info-chan cannot dig up any dark secrets about Taro, and he appears to have none at all.[10] Taro is mostly a Loner[11] who enjoys nature more than the company of people.[12] However, he is friendly towards anyone who wants to talk to him.[11] Though an introvert, he doesn't seem to be shy. He is normally gentle and considerate, but will feel eager upon witnessing a masked killer, and will unmask them without regard for his safety. When Taro reacts poorly to something Ayano did, Ayano perceives his reactions in exaggerated ways.[13] YandereDev describes Taro as "smart", as he enrolled in Akademi when he was 16, and is now in his third year.[14] Taro is not popular in the beginning, although girls will fall in love with him throughout the game.[15] Some popular people might even notice him.[16] Taro seems oblivious to Osana's affections since whenever she says something that could be considered flirting, he either doesn't hear it or doesn't understand what she means. His personality will be shaped and molded by the way that people around him are disappearing; however, this feature is still under development. Depending on Ayano's actions, Taro might develop PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), a personality complex, a nervous disorder, or social anxiety.[17] In the future, Taro will have a sanity meter. His sanity will drop if rivals keep dying. His sanity will drop more if Osana or Hanako Yamada dies. If Taro thinks Ayano is responsible for Osana, Hanako, or any other rival's death, he may become aggressive towards her and possibly reject her. His sanity could be increased over time (provided that there were no murders at school), or by giving him gifts (which can gradually make Taro obsessed with his "admirer"). Taro's current sanity will affect his daily routine and personality
