Yuuya Sakaki is the main protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V. He is a born-entertainer who attends the You Show Duel School to advance his duelling expertise and become an "Entertainment Duellist," a specific type of professional duellist similar to his father.

~!A fun-loving and energetic boy, Yuya is very theatrical and loves to entertain people, traits he seems to inherited from his father (adoptive actually), Yusho Sakaki. He idolized and loved his father very much and wishes to become an entertainer like him one day. After his father disappeared during an important match, Yuya was left heartbroken and traumatized by the event because his beloved father was labeled as a "coward". Because of this, he acts like a fool merely to beat people for insulting him about his father disappearing.!~

~!Yuya has a habit of putting his goggles over his eyes when he is either upset or embarrassed, something he did since he was young. When Yuya Duels, he announces "Ladies and gentlemen!" when he is about to perform a finishing move.

Yuya believes that dueling is for the purpose of making people happy, and he is disgusted when it is used for war. As a spectator, he will protest against any duel conducted with violence, hatred and/or anger. However, confrontations with his dimensional counterparts and learning about the four dimensions as well as the crisis between them start making him doubt his ability to entertain people with dueling. He can be charismatic in his own way, mainly due to his kindness, generosity, determination, and philosophy as Entertainment Duelist that both directly and indirectly influence others. His strong attachment and loyalty to those he cares for and staying true to his belief also managed to turn a lot of people into friends and admirers. While some of his enemies may sees this trait as naivety, some also respect his determination as a fellow Duelist.!~

~!He has three known dimensional counterparts: Yuto (from the Xyz Dimension), Yuugo (from the Synchro Dimension), and Yuri (from the Fusion Dimension). According to Yuzu Hiragi, he and his counterparts are drawn to each other. He later became one of the Lancers that Reiji Akaba setted up, in order to defend from an invasion from Academia in the Fusion Dimension.!~

Thanks to the Leo Corporation, headed by Reiji Akaba, new advancements to Solid Vision, the holographic system that gives life to the Duel Monsters card game, give physical mass to monsters and environments, allowing players to interact directly with them. This has given birth to challenging Action Duels, in which duelists may traverse environments to locate Action Cards to help them in a pinch. The story follows Yuya Sakaki, a second year middle school student at Miami City's You Show Duel School, whose father disappeared three years ago when he was scheduled for an important duel. While facing off against the current Action Duel champion, Yuya awakens a new power from his pendant, known as Pendulum Summoning.
