Reira Akaba

Reira Akaba (赤馬 零羅 Akaba Reira) is a character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime. He is the younger brother of Reiji Akaba and son of Reo Akaba and Himika Akaba. He is a student at LDS and is known as its jewel.

Appearance
Reira Akaba is about the same age as Ayu Ayukawa, Futoshi Haranda, and Tatsuya Yamashiro. He wears a light blue hoodie and is often seen slouching. He has a black cap underneath the hood and a black collar necklace. He wears khakis and a yellow and blue zigzagged shirt with white sneakers. He is also often seen hugging a purple and white teddy bear.

Personality
Reira is shown to be incredibly timid and shy, very quite and talking only when necessary. Unlike Reiji, Reira has no confidence to Duel his opponents. His mother intimidates him. Despite all of these factors, he is actually a skilled Duelist like his brother and he appears to care for him a lot.

History
Reira was first seen with Reiji and his mother in the LDS Balcony as participants of the Maiami Championship arrived at LDS. As he watched them file in, he hugged his bear tightly.

It was later shown that Reira was a participant in the Junior League of the Miami Championship when he was revealed to be Ayu Ayukawa's opponent. When they met, Ayu, Tatsuya, and Futoshi tried to greet and welcome him, but were ignored. Reira and Ayu then Dueled, and while Ayu showed her Entertainment Dueling with the reporters, Reira focused on the match and remained emotionless. He then continued to win using Fusion Summoning and claim praise from Reiji, who was spectating.

It was later revealed that Reira had also won against Futoshi using Synchro Summoning.
