He's overprotective of his childhood friend/rival/love interest and doesn't want her to get hurt again on his watch. He has a hard time juggling his duties as a kekkaishi and school, and usually ends up sleeping through his classes.

Oh, his character traits are there - he's being pushed into the family business of monster hunting by his grandfather, when he really wants to work with sweets. I think most of the problem I had here is that the main character, Yoshimori, isn't established very well in this first book.
