Character History
Yukiya, approximately three years prior to the events in Akito the Exiled, suffered from domestic abuse from other Japanese school boys who maimed his left hand and left him with a large scar spanning almost the full length of his hand. Because of this, Yukiya constructed an IED and bombed his school, killing his classmates and any others inside with the explosions and subsequent collapse, fleeing the ghetto via the sewers, it was there that he met Ryo and his Terrorist group whom he eventually referred to as his family. Due to the physical and mental trauma of his abuse; he bares a strong hatred of the Japanese people. Yukiya and his group put Ryo's plot into action by attacking the convoy responsible for escorting General Smilas. Their plan was executed perfectly, until Akito Hyuga joined the scene, he destroyed Ryo's Knightmare Frame, resulting in their group failing to kidnap the E.U. General, Gene Smilas. However, he and his cohorts are recruited by Leila and acquitted of their criminal charges. Yukiya is now part of the "W-0" group, piloting a Special Forces Knightmare, the Alexander Type-02. Yukiya's Knightmare, while of the same model; is equipped with a long range rifle.

Yukiya was seemingly killed when Shin Hyuga Shaing ordered the ship he was in shot down, subsequently declaring that he would kill everyone Akito loved. However In the trailer of OVA 5, a clip shows a injuried Yukiya unconsciousness in his Knightmare Frame, still alive. In the opening of episode 5 preview, he is rescued by Akito.
