When Yuzu was a child, she participated in National Math Competition, getting second place only below Shun Kurosaki.

Searching for Phantom
Yuzu is a student and heir of Syu Zo Duel School. The school lacked students, causing her and her father struggling financially. If they can't find someone who want to enrol in their Duel School by the end of the payment deadline, the school will be closed down, much to her frustration. While checking their finance, they were interrupted by the sounds of Leo Corporation's helicopters that are sent to capture the mysterious Entertainment Duelist known as the "Phantom".

Believing that Phantom can save them from their crisis if she scout him into the school as instructor, Yuzu determined to find and scout Phantom. Her search eventually led her to a rooftop where she saw the sight of the Entertainment Duelist who was on the run from LC.

When the Duel begin, she tried to enter the Duel Field, but then remembered that no one can enter the Duel Field from the outside until the Duel is over. Realising that if Phantom was caught her hope to save Syu Zo Duel School will vanish, Yuzu cheered for Phantom by telling him that she will increase his salary to 500 Yen per hour.

Yūya vs. Shingo
When Yūya finally revealed himself and showed some of his magic tricks, Yuzu was impressed and asked for his autograph, making Yūya mistook her as his fan. She then encouraged him not to lose because the fate of her school is in his hand, confusing Yūya and Yuzu quickly immediately told him it was nothing. After Yūya defeated Shingo, he appeared beside Yuzu and as promised, gave her his autograph before departing. Not wanting to lose Phantom, Yuzu jumped into his Solid Vision paper plane without him realizing until he felt the paper plane was heavier than usual. Yuzu sheepishly said she just sort of jumped in, but this quickly turned into panic when Yūya revealed that it can only carry one person and both fell into the sea.

When Yuzu gained consciousness, Yūya told her that she is at his hideout and the first person other than himself that he brought in.

Non-canon
Yuzu has made an appearance in the special manga chapter. She is seen several times cheering Yūya in his Action Duel against Reiji.
