Yūshō Sakaki

Yūshō Sakaki ( Sakaki Yūshō, but written Yusyo Sakaki in English for the Japanese anime) is a character of Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V. He is the father of Yūya Sakaki. Three years ago (since the current time of the ARC-V story), Yūshō had disappeared and was supposed to be Dueling with Strong Ishijima.

Past
In their youth, Yūshō rescued Yōko Sakaki and one of her gang members from a rival gang. He played "Smile World" to get the rival gang to back down. Yōko was grateful for what Yūshō did and developed feelings for him. Eventually, the two of them got married and had a son, Yūya Sakaki.

When a young Yūya was upset, Yūshō approached him and gave him advice about laughing whenever he felt down. He used Yūya's pendant to further explain this point by saying that when Yūya made other people happy, the happiness would swing back towards him, like a pendulum.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V
Three years prior to Yūya's Duel against Strong Ishijima, Yūshō was supposed to Duel Strong Ishijima in the finals of an Action Duel tournament. However, Yūshō failed to show up; his whereabouts to this date are still unknown.
