For fans who might be new or feeling confused, Yue and Yukito are the same people. At the beginning of the series, Yue was aware of his counterpart, the human, Yukito, but Yukito was unaware of Yue. Yukito and Yue have completely different personalities.
Yue is the guardian of the moon, he is cold, aloof, and socially distant from everyone. He is stoic and antisocial and doesn’t depend on food for gaining energy.
His energy is retrieved from Clow Reed’s magic and later his new master, Sakura. As Sakura was young and wasn’t able to harness her magical powers, Yue/Yukito was almost about to disappear.
Touya has always been able to sense and feel Yue and when things became distressed, Touya gave up his powers to Yue to protect Yukito and Yue from disappearing. Yukito Tsukishiro eats a lot to make up for his dual life and maintaining his human form.

Does Yukito know Yue?
Initially, no, he wasn’t aware of Yue. As Yue is the guardian and judge, he remained hidden and unaware. Yue makes his appearance in the final judgment, and Yukito still remains unaware.
