Biography
Yu Kanda (Japanese: 神田 ユウ, Hepburn: Kanda Yū) was a male human born on Earth who came to join the ranks of the Black Order as an Exorcist. In that time, he came to synchronise with an Innocence that became his weapon to use against the Akuma. During these years, he paired up with a blonde haired female exorcist where the two fell in love with one another. The two always vowed to find one another in life as they went on a mission to hunt for Akuma. However, the two failed and were fatally injured by the Akuma who left their corpses on the battlefield. His body was recovered by the Black Order and chosen to take part in the Second Exorcist Program (第二セカンド エクソシスト計画, Sekando Ekusoshisuto Keikaku) that was being based out of the Asia Branch. The reason for the project was because the Order suffered numerous losses at the hands of the Akuma and these depleted their manpower as only a few Accommodators were capable of synchronising with Innocence. To circumvent this issue, the Second Exorcist Program took the bodies of fallen exorcists and harvest their brains which were placed in younger artificial bodies with them lacking any memories of their past. Yu Kanda was the second of this new breed of exorcists where he joined the first subject who was a boy named Alma Karma. Karma had a desire to be close to Kanda with the two undergoing various tests as part of the Black Order's experiments.
Afterwards, he came to be an apprentice to Froi Tiedoll who gave him the surname 'Kanda'. For 9 years, Yu served the Order where he laboured until the belief that he had killed his best friend. Unknown to him, Alma was still alive and had been salvaged for a continuation of the exorcist program where his remains were used to make the Third Exorcist Program. Kanda was 10 years old when he travelled the world with his mentor before going to the Black Order which was where he met an 8 year old Lenalee Lee and Marie who became his teammate.
