Physical AppearanceEdit
Yu is a rather small boy with light skin and distincitve facial features. He has fluffy yellow/orange hair that bangs over his forhead. He has dark green eyes filled with joy on most occassions.

Yu wears a white jacket and some white shorts that stop at his knees. Yu also seems to be richer than his team, due to his outfit and other aspects, such as his flying machine. He is just slightly taller than Kenta, and Tithi because of his hair. When Yu first appeared, his voice sounded deeper, but like everyone else, his voice changed.

PersonalityEdit
Yu has a generally happy-go-lucky personality and has a real love for beyblading. Though he's very young and general good natured, he is a strong blader and astute observer as well as having strong convictions. He has a tendency to idolize strong bladers who beat him and hates to be marginalized like being called a little boy, which Tsubasa calls him for fun, just to get him mad.

Due to his age, he also tends to whine a lot too. As a normal child, he loves ice cream, pizza, and various other items throughout the show. Even at Dark Nebula, he was seen at one point in a room full of toys. Also he seems to like animals. He enjoys battling, and gets whiny when someone else gets to battle strong opponents and/or his opponent is weak.

He also enjoys giving nicknames to most people. He calls Kyoya-"Yo-Yo" ("TateKyo" in the manga) Benkei-"Benben", Kenta-"Kenchi", Gingka-"Gingi" or "Gingky", Hikaru-"Hippity-hop", and Masamune "Mr. Butt in skii", then "Masamoo-moo".

Beyblade: Metal FusionEdit
Prior to joining the Dark Nebula Yu is shown training alone in a desert. Doji picks him up there and Yu easily accepts to become a Dark Nebula member, thinking that it would be fun. He quickly learns to idolize the fearsome Ryuga, going as far as to rant on endlessly about how 'awesome' Ryuga is and prematurely calling him his 'best friend'.

For the Dark Nebula, Yu participates in the Survival Battle tournament. He wins by defeating Ginka and Kyoya and declares that his victory wish is another tournament, Battle Bladers, hosted by the Dark Nebula. This is, of course, in accordance with Doji, but also Yu's own wishes for more fun battles.

At first he is very opposed to the uptight Tsubasa Otori joining the organization, but he has to accept working alongside him eventually. They were given multiple tasks by Doji, including inspecting Kenta and Hyoma whom they both beat

The two of them later participated in a battle where lots of points were being given and weretold to find any strong Balders and met Ginka and the gang.

During the first round Yu faced an unknown blader and won easily. Then in the battle royal he fought with Tubassa to see how would fight Ginka with all three of them coming in 3rd place.

Later he is seen watching Ryuga bragging how cool he is. Once Tubassa is discovered as a trador he and Doji try to battle him but are stoped by Ryuga who says he will deal with the trador alone. Once Phenoix saves Tubassa Yu remarks how cool he is with annoys Doji. Later they go to Koma Village to find news on Phenox although they are unsucessful.

Once battle bladers starts Yu has to face Gingka very early on - a battle which he loses. He isn't mad about it though, because Gingka teaches him the fun in Beyblading with friends.

After the first Dark Nebula bladers lose in Battle Bladers and are punished for their failure, Yu first begins to understand what kind of cruel organization he's been following. He himself has lost to Gingka, but still insists Ryuga would never punish him for that, and still presumes the legendary blader is his friend. In the end, it is not Ryuga who he ends up battling but Reiji Mizuchi. Without mercy, Reiji threatens to destroy Yu and his bey completely, but Yu manages to use his special move to escape.

Despite being injured, Yu manages to reach Gingka and his friends, explaining the evil inner workings of the Dark Nebula to them. He gets to know that Kenta will be facing Reiji next and lends him Libra's performance tip to assist him although Kenta loses he gains the crowds respect. Later he loses respect for Ryuga after he drains Tubassa of his energy with no remorce.

However, the Dark Nebula does not let go of Yu so easily and soon after he's kidnapped. He is rescued by Ryo shortly before Gingka's final battle against Ryuga, in which he cheers him on.

BeybladeEdit

 *  Flame Libra T125ES : Yu's primary Beyblade in Metal Fusion, Metal Masters and Metal Fury. It is a Stamina Type Beyblade with incredible stamina, endurance and impressive speed and attack power. It's Spin Track and Preformance Tip allow it to spin for an incredibly long amount of time while maintaining balance. Libra's most unique ability is it's power to produce sonic vibrations which Yu uses for various purpouses.

Special MovesEdit

 *  Sonic Wave : Libra creates channels sonic vibration in a single or multiple waves to attack the opponent. On contact it disrupts the targets balance and zaps it's stamina.
 * Sonic Shield: Libra covers itself in sonic vibrations to counter the attacks of an incoming beyblade. It is a powerful enough shield to fend off attack type special moves; such as that of Pegasus' Starblast Attack.
 * Sonic Buster: Libra erupts with Sonic Vibrations causing the ground around it to turn to sand and trap it's opponents, leaving them helpless to struggle and drown in the sand pit.
 * Inferno Blast : Libra produces a gigantic gyser of Sonic Vibrations that draw the opposing beys towards them. Any bey that comes into contact with the vibrations and tries to struggle against them will immediatly sleep out. Yu can also change the rhythm of the vibrations to force them to conflict with an opposing bey. This is noted to be Libra's most powerful special move.
