Yuuhou (優鳳, Yūhō; Japanese for Superior Phoenix) is the codename of the Phoenix Tenjōgekido; his real name is Kizuaka Shinsei (傷赤新星, "Scar-Red Nova"). At an unspecified date, Yuuhou took Arata Yaguruma and raised him as his own son, a wingless phoenix. When met by Kaede Mikazuki, Yuuhou agreed to give Kaede custody over Arata, so Arata was raised as a saviour. Even then, Yuuhou decided to watch over Arata for the rest of his life and more often than not offers advice to him; partly because he is suspicious of Kaede.
