: Yusei is the main protagonist of the series, a young man who grew up in the Satellite. When he travels to New Domino City in order to retrieve his Stardust Dragon from Jack Atlas, he soon discovers that he is a Signer, a person chosen to bear the mark of the Crimson Dragon. Whilst initially bearing the mark of the Crimson Dragon's tail, following his battle with Goodwin, it is replaced with the dragon's head. He is a cool and collected duelist who believes no card is useless. He uses a "Warrior" and "Synchron" deck which focuses on managing small monsters of various levels in order to summon out powerful Synchro Monsters, such as Junk Warrior. His key card is Stardust Dragon and later obtains two further evolutions; the powerful Majestic Star Dragon and the Accel Synchro monster, Shooting Star Dragon.
