Appearance
Ayato is a slender young man with unruly, reddish-colored hair spiked at the ends, narrow green eyes, and a fair complexion. He also wears a black stud on his right ear.

In Haunted Dark Bridal, he usually wears a white shirt that has brown bordering the top and bottom of the shirt with a black jacket and brown scarf. He wears it with blue jeans with a belt attached to both sides of his pants that hang down and go around his pants.

His school uniform consists of the typical black school blazer with an unbuttoned white dress shirt and an undone red tie around his neck and the right collar of the shirt. He dons black pants, the right leg rolled up to his knees, and a pair of red and black sneakers.

Personality
Known as the troublemaker of the household, Ayato is an attention seeker and loves mischief. He looks down on others and loves to bully and tease people. He refers to himself most of the time as "Ore-sama" ("translated as "Yours Truly") and he calls Clarice「モードパイ」("Maud-pie" in English).

Ayato is quite the rebel and has a passion for torture devices; An example being the Iron Maiden, a device like this can be found in his room, which he uses instead of a bed (the spikes are removed). He is also the type who always brags about himself; sometimes commanding everyone to call him Ayato-sama. It is also noted that he eats a lot (though only if it is his favorite food). Ayato stated that vampires need to drink blood to savor the taste. His favorite food is takoyaki and gets very angry if someone eats his food.

Ayato uses vulgar language at times. Ayato would insult his mother (even after her death), as well as his father, and his brothers by telling them off and calling them names (always giving others nicknames) such as calling Kanato a hysteric and Reiji, "shichisan megane". He also tends to be arrogant as he always calls himself the strongest and the best. And whenever things go his way, he does not act surprised. And when he wants to do so, he will make a prank on anybody. Ayato is very energetic and loves sports; basketball being his favorite. Ayato has stated that anything is fine as long as there's a goal to reach for and that sports is his strong point.

Ayato has a hard time expressing his feelings and he tends to get quickly jealous of anything. Ayato tends to hide his true feelings with insulting words. He usually speaks ill about his deceased mother.

History
Ayato is the oldest triplet, with Laito being the youngest and Kanato being the middle. Even though the first to be born is Laito, the order of the triplets is determined by an old Japanese tradition where the last one to be born is considered the oldest, in a multiple birth, making him the third son. Ayato was the one to get the most attention of his mother.

He was the one who endured the most of his mother's abuse towards him, at first not even trying to bother with the things Cordelia was doing to him. The most notable one was in the first game, where Ayato had a flashback of his own mother drowning him in the lake as a punishment and that he won't get up until she told him to. In the other games, Ayato was slapped by her for destroying a flower given to her by Karlheinz. Then in another, he built a sandcastle to show off to Cordelia, but she only destroys it and tells him that it was not worth showing it if it wasn't real. Even if Ayato got the attention, he was strictly being hurt by her as per her selfish wishes of making him the heir of the Sakamaki. Those things that she did to him led to him thinking of trying to kill her, thus fueling that hatred.

Ayato has the strongest hate towards Cordelia out of his brothers and was the first to turn against her when he and his brothers grew up, and it lead to her death.

Relationships
Siblings

Ayato seemed to be close to Kanato and Laito when they were younger. The three were shown to get along together, as shown in a flashback in which a bat that Kanato just caught escaped. All three attempted to catch the bat together. Ayato's relationship with his brothers changes slowly due to their endless competition over the attention of their mother, which she was mostly refusing them equally. Still, Ayato sees himself as an older brother to Kanato and Laito and feels them far closer than his half brothers. Even though he would insult his triplet brothers easily, he can also show care for them sometimes. He is not too close with the rest of his siblings.

Cordelia
Ayato has a very complicated relationship with his mother. As a child, he endured her mistreatment resulting to a growing resent. As an adult, he usually speaks ill. As an adult he played an important role in her murder.

Karlheinz
Ayato has always despised Karlheinz and usually calls him "rotten old fool". All that Ayato knows from his father is neglecting and the cruelty towards Cordelia that reflected towards him and his brothers.

Richter
Karlheinz's younger brother, Richter, is Ayato's, along with all the other Sakamaki brother's uncle. Ayato doesn't seem to have any positive feelings toward Richter. Richter is called an "old man" by Ayato. Ayato never really viewed Richter as a threat until the truth about his mother was revealed.

Clarice Ng
Before Yui, Clarice was Assign to go Japan finding a demon threat until is sent to a new town and arrives alone at a mansion where she was told to stay for the time being. At the mansion, no-one greets her; however, the door swings open on its own accord. As she explores the area to find someone to escort her in, she met Ayato calling her Maud-pie. (It won't be easy because he and his brothers are in a world of pain). He grew attached to her as time passed, when he and Subaru found out that she was a demon type (a Hybrid Dragon-Phoenix) he started to little bit of understanding about her fate. Even though she dosen't let him touch her, but still he wants to help her. Ayato will do anything to protect her from Karlheinz making her the new Eve as a sacrafice. Ayato grew to have new feelings for her and even stating that he loves her.

Ruki Mukami
Ruki allowed Ayato to reclaim Clarice when he realized that he and his brothers were incapable of becoming "Adam". Though in the anime's seventh season, they discuss an unlikely alliance to protect Clarice from the Tsukinami's and the Dark Planet.

Kaname Kuran
Ayato considered Kaname a threat and got irritated every time he saw him with Clarice. He also got annoyed when Kaname kept trying to persuade Clarice to come to him instead. Ayato was also aware that Kaname had persuing Clarice's blood behind his back which was used to taunt and provoke him.

Zero Kiryu
Though Zero attends to kill Ayato alongside with Subaru, Clarice started to appear right before his very eyes. Ayato was aware that Zero was the first person who's been drinking Clarice's blood.
