[edit] Pre-Program
Yutaka Seto is one of the class of third-year students at the fictional Shiroiwa Junior High School. Yutaka is the shortest boy in his class. Yutaka, the only left-handed pupil in his class, is the best friend of Shinji Mimura. Yutaka is known for being the class clown, and likes the idea of being a comedian when he grew up. In the novel, he has a crush on Izumi Kanai, and in the manga, he has a crush on Fumiyo Fujiyoshi.
[edit] During the Program
Yutaka was issued with a fork as his designated weapon, but he knew he was too timid to attack anyone no matter which weapon he received. He was immensely relieved to meet up with his best friend, Shinji. Shinji made a plan for them to blow up the school building, using knowledge gained from his uncle, and Yutaka helped him with this plan. He felt like a burden to Shinji, because he knew he was weaker, and less capable.
In the novel and manga, after Shinji accidentally kills Keita Iijima, he and Yutaka argue briefly. During their reconciliation, Yutaka is shot in the back by Kazuo Kiriyama. The bullets go right through him, killing him, and into Shinji, injuring him.
In the film, Keita and Yutaka help Shinji. The two assistants die at the hands of Kiriyama, and Shinji commits suicide by blowing himself up.
