Katsurou Chiba (千葉勝朗) is a second-year Osiris Red student that uses Warrior swarm strategies mainly seen to others as outdated. It is for this reason he remains in Osiris despite scoring well on exams. His duel with Shougo shows him to use a Warrior Toolbox Deck, reliant on a Command Knight lock strategy, getting three of said monster out to power all his Warriors on the field while preventing the opponent from being able to make an effective attack.

He is very jovial and enjoys dueling, but is very serious about it and feels insulted if his opponents do not give their all. As such, he is seen as a "bar" over which duelists must pass to be considered competent; even so, his reliance on singular strategies is seen as a weakness which he himself cannot surpass. Chiba doesn't mind this and accepts his role in the Duel Academia world.

Chiba is roommates and friends with Shougo Aoyama, and has helped him be a little bit more outgoing. He also has somewhat of a camaraderie with Hinata Toragami's friend Naomi Aino.

Chiba's given name means "brilliant victory", while his family name is a common name, sharing its kanji with the Chiba prefecture.
