Declan Akaba

Reiji Akaba is one of the main characters and the second CEO of the huge Leo Corporation in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime. He is also a Super Elite Duelist with a genius brain.

Reiji is the youngest Duelist in history to be certified to Duel in the professional circuit, having done so at age 15.

Appearance
Reiji is a thin young man with pale skin and grey hair, the front layer being a lighter grey then the back. His hair is arranged in a simple style, flicking up wards at the ends. Reiji's eyes are purple, and he wears red-framed spectacles. HIs ears are both pierced with black stud earrings. Despite his status as the CEO of the Leo Corporation, Reiji dresses rather casually, wearing a dark-blue sweater, white pants that end just above his ankles, and white shoes (apparently without any socks beneath them), along with a long red scarf wrapped around his shoulders with the ends trailing to the small of his back.

Biography
After Yuya Sakaki defeated Strong Ishijima using the Pendulum Summon mechanic, Reiji was briefed on the Summon and on Yuya himself by Nakajima. Intrigued by the Pendulum Summon, Reiji asked Shingo Sawatari to learn what he could about Pendulum Summoning, no matter how small the detail and to acquire them, if possible. Shingo successfully acquired the cards, but wanted to use them to Duel Yuya. As Nakajima protested from where he was watching the Duel, Reiji arrived and assured him that it was all right. He advised Shingo on the use of Yuya's Pendulum Monsters from behind the scenes throughout the Duel.
