Yuma Tsukumo


 * Yuma redirects here. For the Tag Force character, see: Yuma Miyata.

Yuma Tsukumo is the main character in the upcoming series Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL. He is the first main character of any Yu-Gi-Oh! anime/manga series to not be an only child.

Yuma's surname, Tsukumo, can be translated as "Ninety-Nine" which may be a nod to the ninety-nine Numbers he and Astral are looking for.

Personality
Yuma is a hasty young boy who likes to challenge himself to do anything that seems impossible, which he normally fails at. He states that doing these challenges gets him fired up and will eventually accomplish what he sets out to do. He is also somewhat self-contradictory as he often says things like how he tells his friend, Kotori Mizuki that she doesn't understand what it's like to be him after being left exhausted only to change the subject to how he always gets fired up, or when he says he won't show up to his Duel with "Shark" Ryoga until immediately regaining his confidence. Yuma is shown to stick up for others despite their protests, challenging "Shark" to reclaim Tetsuo's Deck.

Yuma treasures the artifact his mother gave him greatly and when "Shark" crushed it in two, this drove Yuma to further challenge "Shark".

Biography
Something unexpected happened when Ryoga Kamishiro challenged him to a Duel. When the mysterious entity Astral appeared before them a new legend began.
