Yuri, whose Japanese name is Urmnaf, shortened version 'Uru' is the main hero of the original Shadow Hearts and its sequel, Shadow Hearts: Covenant.

Yuri is a harmonixer, and therefore he has the ability of fusion, a long lost forbidden art in Japan which enables him to fuse with the souls of the monsters he has defeated and use their powers. He inherited this power from his father, Ben Hyuga. However, Fusion comes at a price. The souls of the monsters Yuri has defeated wait for him to grow weak. If he ever does, they will consume him, much like his father was consumed by the Seraphic Radiance. In the first Shadow Hearts, he begins in constant turmoil. This is shown whenever he uses a fusion ability in the beginning of the game. Yuri clutches his head before the fusion and staggers around briefly, out of fear and pain. However, he conquers his fear, thanks to Alice Elliot, and defeats Fox Face, the incarnation of his fear. From that point on in the game, Yuri simply tosses his arm downward before fusion, defiantly, showing his gain of confidence and courage. This same growth occurrs during the second Shadow Hearts game as well. Yuri begins by fusing the same way he began in the first game, conquers his fears, this time thanks to Karin, and is able to fuse confidently yet again.

His love interest is a young woman Alice Elliot, whom he had rescued from a powerful warlock, aboard a train bound to Fengtian.
