Ayu Ayukawa ( アユ Ayukawa Ayu) is a character of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime. She is one of the six students at You Show Duel School and treats Yuzu like an older sister. She is friends with Futoshi and Tatsuya.

Appearance
Ayu is a red-headed girl with golden eyes and a large multi-colored headband. She wears a short cream t-shirt with a striped pink and red long t-shirt. Ayu's attire also consists of a red skirt and long black socks. She wears brown shoes and has a blue bracelet. Ayu is fair-skinned.

Pre-Maiami Championship
Ayu was first seen with Futoshi in a crowd, watching Yūya Sakaki Dueling Strong Ishijima. She was happy when her fellow You Show Duel School classmate won his Duel. After that, she watched Yūya Duel and lose against Yuzu Hīragi. When a group of fans left in disappointment, Ayu did not believe their words and signed up for You Show with Futoshi and Tatsuya.

Ayu and the other You Show students took a trip to LDS. She was fascinated by Shingo's state of the art school and soon got captured by Shingo's companions. Ayu watched Yūya Duel and defeat Shingo. The building where she was put on collapsed, but she was rescued by "Timegazer Magician" and "Stargazer Magician". After Sora Shiun'in knocked out Shingo and his lackeys, he introduced himself to Ayu and the others.

Sora went to You Show to Duel Yūya for the chance to be his apprentice. Ayu was impressed by the cuteness of Sora's "Furnimal" monsters, but was scared by "Death-Toy Scissors Bear". She was happy when Yūya won and when Sora enrolled at You Show.

Ayu took a walk with Yuzu and bought ice cream for the boys, but Yuzu left Ayu behind after seeing Shingo plan a scheme to defeat Yūya. Yuzu told Ayu to call Shūzō Hīragi for help and she complied. After the masked Duelist defeated Shingo, Ayu received the news that Yūya apparently attacked Shingo. Ayu didn't believe it and watched Yūya, Yuzu, and Gongenzaka fight against the LDS students. She later watched Yūya Duel Reiji Akaba and Shūzō.

Ayu and the other children watched Yūya Duel and defeat Michio Mokota. They also watched Yūya Duel Eita Kyuando on TV. Ayu was impressed with Eita's intelligence, while having the opposite reaction for Yūya, due to him answering the questions incorrectly. Nevertheless, she was glad that Yūya won.

Deck
Ayu uses an "Aquaactress" Deck, based around quickly swarming the field and adding cards from her Deck to her hand while using a variety of Magic and Traps to protect and increase the ATK of her otherwise weak monsters.
