 * This is the manga version of Reiji Akaba. For the anime character, see here.

Reiji Akaba is a main character appearing in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V (manga). He works for the Leo Corporation and aims to capture the Entertainment Duelist Yūya Sakaki.

Chapter 1
Reiji is the head of Leo Corporation. When the sensors detected the Pendulum Summoning of "Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon", Reiji immediately deployed many of Leo Corporation's squads to capture the mysterious duelist Yūya Sakaki, otherwise known as "Phantom" under the charge of hacking into Leo Corporation's Solid Vision system. Despite the charge, Reiji's real reason for ordering Yūya's capture was because Yūya is the "Destiny Factor" that holds their future. However, when Shingo Sawatari finally had Phantom cornered, Phantom revealed himself to be Yūto instead of Yūya, shocking Reiji.

Non-canon
Reiji faced Yūya Sakaki in an Action Duel in the special manga chapter. He used relentless tactics to quickly Summon high-Level monsters and was skilled with the use of Action Cards. In this chapter, Reiji is portrayed as a rather serious and a reserved Duelist, and he claims that he never loses Duels.

Deck
In the special manga chapter, Reiji runs a Fiend Deck, featuring the "DD" and "Demon" archetypes. He uses Pendulum Summon and cards like "Rule of Antiquity" to easily bring high-Level monsters on the field.
