Kohaku Yudin

Kohaku Yudin is the fun-loving main protagonist of Taylor Gorrell's fanfiction, Yu-Gi-Oh! GSTART. A high-schooler from Sigma City, Kohaku is known as an ace Game Card collector, but his skills with them will eventually be needed in his tale.

Appearance
Like past protagonists, Kohaku's hair is multi-layered and spiky, but in a different way. A trait he has that was once unique to is that he has three hair colors. His main hair color is golden blonde, coming down to his shoulders in the back, with a spiky, vaguely M-shaped fringe colored red. In the back of his hair, six spikes come out at a 15-degree angle pointing downward, colored a cobalt blue. His eyes are an iconic cyber green, and he often wears a green visor that partially obscures his fringe. Kohaku's outfit consists of a red short sleeve shirt, a green summer jacket that flares slightly in the back, light blue shorts (pants in colder weather), dark blue shoes, and white gloves. He carries somewhat of a holster on his back that holds his Deck, blue D-Gazer with a clear lens, and a red D-Controller.

After Kohaku is shot in the left arm in Season 2, a scar where the bullet went through is seen after his bandages come off, and is seen every time his jacket is off. The sleeve of his jacket is also stitched up after that point.

Personality
Kohaku is described by people who know him as a fun-loving, somewhat nerdy, and good-hearted boy who enjoys Dueling. He is one of the biggest fans of the Game Cards used with D-Controllers, having collected over 30 different ones. A friendly guy, Kohaku is capable of getting along with most people, but some find him annoying. As opposed to previous school-going protagonists and, Kohaku pays attention in classes and gets good grades, though he explicitly states he'd rather Duel than go to school. Kind and brave, but somewhat reckless, Kohaku will not hesitate to jump into the fray to help anyone in need. However, he is also somewhat mischievious, enjoying teasing some people. In later seasons, it is shown that Kohaku can be very sweet and somewhat romantic, based on his interactions with Nazoko.

Biography

Nazoko Ikari
From the start, Kohaku and Nazoko's relationship is complicated. Kohaku always calls her "Nazo-chan"; early uses sound like he's teasing, but later uses show genuine respect and care. Nazoko initially finds Kohaku to be annoying and boring, mostly due to his enjoyment of Game Cards, which she finds pointless and stupid. Kohaku throws up mock expressions of hurt and appears to not be affected at all. In truth, Kohaku admires Nazoko as a Duelist and a person, in spite of her hatred of Game Cards. Eventually Kohaku begins to gain her respect, even getting her to give Game Cards a try, which, to his delight, she actually finds to be fun. Upon being asked if he has a crush on her (not by Nazoko), Kohaku admits it, but states it was hard not to with someone as beautiful as her.

In Season 2, Kohaku has successfully helped Nazoko shed her hostile shell, unknowingly giving her a crush on him. The two of them are often paired when the group split up. Later, their relationship culminates when Kohaku pushes Nazoko out of a line of fire, ending up with a bullet to the left arm that luckily misses any vital nerves. Upon Kohaku's release, Nazoko admits how she feels, as does Kohaku. The two of them are typically seen together in scenes, whether by coincidence or not, and they are even shown on dates, even though Nazoko claims she is a rookie in terms of romance. Their relationship continues to build, and by the end of the series, it is clear that Nazoko considers Kohaku one of the most important people in her life, if not the most important person.

Deck
Stemming from his love of video games, Kohaku plays a Pixel HERO Deck capable of powerful Composition Summons while using varied effects. He uses his Pixelated World Field Spells to give himself extra advantages. His wide variety of Game Cards makes it so no Duel with him is ever the same.
