Voiced by: Tasuku Hatanaka (Japanese); Eli James (English)
Yuma Tsukumo is the main protagonist of the series, an energetic 13-year-old boy who is an underachiever in both school and duels, but always takes on any challenges and never gives up; an ethic he dubs "Feeling the Flow" "High the Sky" or "Kattobingu da ore" (かっとビング, Kattobingu; adapted from the Japanese word "katto").

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal characters” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3253060. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
