Character Overview
Julie Katou ( 加藤ジュリー, Katou Julie) is a member of the Shimon Famiglia. He previously attended Shimon Middle School, but he and his family transfered to Namimori after an earthquake hit their area. They chose Namimori because it is relatively earthquake free. They were invited to the Vongola Decimo's Inheritance Ceremony, where the Shimon Family would declare war against the Vongola Famiglia.
Appearance
Like most members of his family, Julie is always seen in his Shimon school uniform. He keeps the uniform top opened, revealing a yellow shirt, which seems to be barely tucked in. The features that set him apart from the others is that he wears a white fedora, which he has on in almost all his appearances. When his fedora is taken off, he reveals combed-backed hair and sideburns that end just below where his cheekbone is. He wears large-framed glasses, over his slightly slitted eyes. Finally, he sports a petit goatee.
Personality
Julie comes off as a laid-back, nonchalant person who moves at his own pace, and is constantly seen with a smile on his face. He seems to prefer being outside, wandering about, than on following his duties. His most obvious personality trait is that he is a slacker. In his first appearance, he missed an entire day of school. His laziness brings out the disapproval of Koyo, and his comment about Adelheid Suzuki hints that he has gotten into trouble sometime in the past. According to Koyo's comments towards Julie during their meeting, he seems to have a habit of gambling and chasing after women. Another trait is that he can be blunt and honest--saying whatever is on his mind. When Koyo made a comment on Julie doing nothing all day, Julie retorted by telling him to shut up and then insulted him on his failing marks. He did not hesitate to call Enma, the boss of the family, pathetic. Moreover, he had no reservations on admitting he was stalking Chrome and, when he met up with her, he immediately professed his love and asked her to run away with him. Despite Chrome saying no, he did not seem shaken by it.
Plot Overview
Inheritance Ceremony Arc
He first appears when he sees Chrome Dokuro while taking a walk.
During the gathering of Tsuna's Family and the Shimon Family on the rooftop of Namimori Middle School, he was the only one to be away from the gathering. He was grouped with Chrome to patrol other areas near Kokuyo to protect Tsuna. He secretly gave Chrome a package of food with the hope that it would feed Chrome, since he knew that Chrome was only eating chocolate snacks, and commented to himself that he had a "kind-hearted soul." Later on, when Adelheid discussed with the rest of the Shimon members whether they were going to protect the Vongola Famiglia, Julie was the first to decline, saying that he didn't feel well enough. Adelheid then asked everyone if they have been taking good care of "that," to which everyone responded with a yes, and asked Enma to show them the Ring that proved that he had the inheritance to be the Boss of the Shimon Famiglia. When the Shimon Famiglia agreed to protect Tsuna, he introduced himself to Chrome and revealed to her that he was the one who kept sending the food for her. He then asked her to go on a date with him. Unfortunately for him, Chrome didn't understand what he meant and refused him, leaving Julie to comment on her cuteness.
He was later seen at the Inheritance Ceremony with the rest of the Shimon Family. He and the rest of the Shimon were all surprised to see Yamamoto healed from his wounds, but didn't say anything about it. He was later seen amongst the crowds during the ceremony, waiting along with the rest of the Shimon Famiglia, when Tsuna was to receive the Vongola Sin from the Ninth. But, before the Ninth could give the Sin to Tsuna, an explosion was heard.
After an explosion, the Sin was broken open, supposedly by Enma. The Ninth revealed that the Sin in the ceremony was merely a fake. He proclaimed that the real one was in a safe that was impossible to penetrate. Suddenly, the safe was broken open, revealing Julie and Enma with the rest of the Shimon. Enma states that they had come to the ceremony to take back the "Sin" for the Shimon Famiglia and to get revenge on the Vongola. Enma and Adelheid explained the story about Sin, and that it was the blood of the first Shimon Boss, Cozart Shimon. Timeoteo, however, says that he had never heard this story before, and that the Shimon Family had disappeared overseas on their own accord. Julie replies that he was expecting that answer and that they had never heard of that story. Julie and the others then released their rings as Enma said that the reason that Vongola Primo got rid of the Shimon was because they had a power that rivalled the Seven Flames of the Sky, which was the Seven Flames of the Earth. Enma easily overpowered Tsuna and defeated him and his guardians. Julie takes Chrome and says that "we have date plans" while Tsuna watches. The rest of the Shimon Family then left to go back to their home.
