A classmate of Yusaku’s, but remains in the dark as to Yusaku’s True Identity. Online in LINK VRAINS, she goes by the alias “Blue Angel”, a popular Charisma Duelist.
• She has a Brother Complex.
• She wants to admit to her brother that she Duels.

Onizuka, Go
A Duelist who goes by “Go Onizuka” inside LINK VRAINS. Although he’s extremely popular due to his exciting Duels, he’s also known for his friendly and kind-hearted side in the Real World. He’s interested in the person known as “Playmaker”.

• He looks the same in real life and online.
• He holds the title of the strongest Duelist inside LINK VRAINS
• He’s popular even offline.

Also claimed from the Interview in Animedia with Yoshida and Director Hosoda:

• The series is based in a world roughly 10 years from now where a massive Virtual Reality Network called LINK VRAINS has been established. It’s a suspense thriller style story where Yusaku fights in order to learn the truth of events in the past.
• While Yusaku gets his hands on an AI due to certain events, he fights the mysterious hackers called the “Knights of Hanoi” who are trying to get their hands on it as well.
• Duels will basically only be done in the Virtual Reality Network, and while Yusaku’s daily High School Life will factor into things, Yusaku doesn’t Duel while at School.
