He is the Rabbit of the Chinese Zodiac. Momiji is depicted as a cute, cheerful, and childlike boy, who is easily mistaken as an elementary school student however he is as old as Hatsuharu Sohma and one year younger than Tohru Honda. He later begins attending Kaibara High along with Hatsuharu as first-year students.

Despite his cheerful attitude, he hides a sad family life behind his smile. He lives alone inside the Sohma house since his mother completely rejected him when she first held him. She regretted giving birth to Momiji and begged for Hatori to erase her memories. Because of this, his sister Momo is unaware he is her older brother.
At the start of the series, Momiji is a very short boy with a small frame who is considered to be very cute. He has short, wavy blonde hair with messy bangs which frame his face, along with a pair of round light-brown goldenish eyes; all of these traits being inherited from his mother.
Momiji is initially seen wearing outfits with feminine patterns, frills, and cute accessories. He also wore the girls' uniform at school with shorts instead of a skirt. He has been seen with painted fingernails, and studs in his ears. Momiji also wears hats, and carries around his trademark rabbit backpack almost all the time.

When he enters his second year of high school, Momiji enters his growth spurts and in the process changes drastically. As noted by many people at school, Momiji has grown into a very handsome and tall young man, to the point where they couldn't recognize him at first. He also starts wearing the boys' uniform, and while he does look more mature and masculine, his love for cute things hasn't changed much. He is also seen to have slightly longer hair and messier bangs.
Momiji is an extremely bubbly, cheerful, and fun-loving boy who is always seen with a smile. He sometimes acts like a wild child since he has no real adult supervision aside from Hatori. But he is also shown to be a nice, caring, and helpful person who easily gets along with others. He is very affectionate, loves hugging people, and has little sense of personal space, especially towards Tohru, as his excitement at meeting a female outside of the zodiac has led him to hug her in public places, carefree to the fact that people might see his transformation.
At the same time, Momiji possesses great empathy and intuition about others. He is emotionally strong and wise beyond his years, evidenced when he told the story of the foolish traveler and about his family situation to Tohru.

He occasionally displays seriousness, though it is usually quickly followed with childish antics. It is implied that he is more mature and somber than he looks, and puts on a cheerful, childish facade to hide the emotional turmoil he has over his mother rejecting him and his father essentially abandoning him in favor of his sister. He is also shown to be courageous and able to stand up for the people he loves. He was the only one who was able to defy Akito's wishes and stand up to her, even though he is afraid of her, when he thought that she was in the wrong. He even let himself receive a punch to the face as a means to protect Tohru.
When Momiji enters his growth spurt, he admits that he is happy that he grew up, since although he got to enjoy or get away with some things that he could only do when he was smaller, he is also a guy and wants to be taken seriously by Tohru― who he had fallen in love with. Momiji also grows more confident and sly, such as telling Kyo that if he doesn't confess to Tohru soon, he would take her for himself.
Momiji is shown to have become more emotionally strong and level-headed and can display coldness if needed; when he finds out his curse is broken, he immediately makes it clear that he will never let Akito control him anymore and that he won't stay by her side anymore, opting to find a bright life for himself in the future instead.

However, he is kind-hearted and empathizing enough to 'forgive' Akito and even urges her to visit Tohru in the hospital by telling her the story of the foolish traveler.
When people cursed by the Zodiac are born, they are born two months prematurely. When Momiji was born two months early, his mother was very worried, and as soon as she held him, he turned into a rabbit. Following this event, she rejected Momiji with her entire body, and her mind went absolutely and completely splintered. She was unable to smile, would snap whenever she saw him, and even referred to him as that thing.
It became so bad that Momiji's father convinced Hatori to erase her memory of giving birth to Momiji and him being her son. Momiji overheard when Hatori double-checked with Momiji's mother if she really wanted to go through with erasing Momiji from her mind, in which she fully consented, as her biggest regret in life had been giving birth to him. Although Momiji believes that a memory shouldn't be erased no matter how painful it is, he agreed to have Hatori erase his mother's memories in order to help her recover.

From then on, Momiji began living alone in the inside of the Sohma estate. A few years later, Momiji's father and mother had another child, Momo Sohma. Momiji unintentionally met with his mother and younger sister a few times, but his mother just thinks he is someone else's son from the Sohma family and treats him like an acquaintance. Momo, however, is curious and suspicious of Momiji, once even remarking to her mother that she looks just like him. Momiji's father has also forbidden Momiji from interacting with both his mother and younger sister Momo, in fears of destroying what he has built. Momiji agrees in watching his family from afar, not wanting to make things more complicated.
Momiji is first seen in one of the working buildings his father owns, presumably waiting for someone. He meets Tohru Honda, who has just finished her part-time job as a cleaning lady, and excitedly greets her in German. Tohru is shocked, since she does not understand Momiji nor knows him at all. Before she is able to excuse herself, Momiji kisses her on the cheek, flustering her and making her dash out in embarrassment. Unbeknownst to her, she drops an ad for the upcoming school festival, which Momiji picks up.
Momiji later attends the school festival along with Hatori Sohma. He clings to Yuki and Tohru immediately recognizes him as the boy who kissed her days prior. As he is having fun at the festival and catching everyone's attention due to his energetic personality, he hugs Tohru behind the scenes. Thanks to Yuki distracting the students, Tohru is able to hide Momiji's bunny form and flee from the scene. Momiji later leaves the festival along with Hatori.

Tohru is later invited to Hatori's home. Momiji greets Tohru outside of the main estate and leads her to the house. Momiji explains Hatori's tragic past to Tohru, and as both start feeling sad about it, Momiji asks Tohru if she is glad he met him. Tohru replies that she absolutely does, which puts a smile to Momiji's face.
After the end-of-term tests, Momiji invites Tohru, Yuki, and a reluctant Kyo to a hot springs inn owned by the Sohma family for White Day. The next day, Tohru and the Sohma boys visit the inn and spend the night there. As the four continue with their fun activities, Momiji continues to show him affection to Tohru and even asks if they should sleep together, much to Yuki and Kyo's dismay. The next morning, Momiji reveals that he is a third-year middle schooler and that he and Hatsuharu will be joining her high school as first years. Tohru is more than shocked to realize that Momiji is only a year younger than her despite his young appearance.
The second school year begins with Tohru looking forward to meeting Hatsuharu and Momiji as first years, with Kyo reluctantly accompanying her. When Momiji is seen wearing a girl's uniform, the student council president, Makoto Takei, berates Momiji for wearing the girls uniform, which saddens Momiji. Hatsuharu aggressively defends Momiji by beating up Takei. Hatsuharu also tells two fellow student council members that Momiji will eventually grow up into a handsome young man, which is why they can let Momiji do as he wants for the time being. Momiji later informs the Sohma boys that Akito Sohma has arrived
