== Character Backstory ==
== Character Backstory ==
== Arcadia (Goli's Graphic Gallery) ==
Making his debut in 2nd style, Yuz is a Kansai man born and raised in Osaka. He's a techno lover who searches for great sounds and images day and night. Yuz is also a fan of the Hanshin Tigers, and grew furious when [[Celica]] told him that she didn't like their tiger logo due to it looking like a cat. He got back at her by playing "Rokko Oroshi" endlessly on her headphones, a song which he enjoys. On top of that, he also hopes that one day IIDX will add a techno remix of the team’s theme. He enjoys a variety of games such as shooting and racing games, and even installed a speaker system in his home to enjoy playing games with a 5.1 surround sound. Alongside this he is a freelance designer working in music video production. He is also a substantial IIDX player, ranking at the top second to none. Even though he’s tough on the younger generation, he’s surprisingly warm-hearted and quite compassionate. This makes him well respected among his friends, and is even seen as the leader of the group.


Yuz made his first appearance in the poster for [[AC 2nd style|IIDX 2nd style]]. Born and raised in Osaka, he's a typical Kansai kind of guy. He's also a great lover of techno, and is willing to search all day and night for a superior audiovisual experience. Hailing from Kansai, he's naturally a fan of the Osaka Tigers. Aside from IIDX, he's a big fan of shooting and racing games.
== Arcadia (ROOTS26) ==
A man born and raised in Osaka. Currently he resides in the suburbs of Shinjuku and speaks with a thick Kansai accent. He's a techno lover who searches for great sounds and images day and night. Amongst other things he's also a Hanshin Tigers fan and DJ's at clubs during the night. Despite being tough on the younger generation, he also surprisingly has quite a compassionate side. He's seen as a leader among his IIDX friends, and has been working with the Konami Sound Team to have his own arrangement of Rokko Oroshi called the "Rokko Oroshi Shinsai remix" playable on IIDX. Currently he’s on his third revision, but lately he’s been stuck in an artist's block.  


Yuz has gotten quite good at IIDX. His record playing against other people is spotless ... well, excepting one person. Aside from playing IIDX, he's done some freelance video and art work. Yuz is a pretty agreeable person, and he kind of plays the role of a big brother-like leader to Celica's group of friends.
Yuz enjoys a wide variety of games, and is a regular at [[Shiki]]'s arcade. He's an active IIDX player and has a high skill level. Despite being skilled he and [[Nyah]] have been active rivals, preventing him from becoming the top player. Due to being unable to win he has yet to try the full course Chinese meal given to anybody who beats Nyah in a match.


Yuz is most closely connected to [[Shi-low|Shilow]] and [[Celica]] in the IIDX world. He and Celica go back several years; they first met as "mail friends", or email correspondents. This creates some tension between Yuz and Shilow as Shilow and Celica draw closer; as a matter of fact, Yuz got hurt in a fight with Shilow, presumably over Celica. (Never mess with a man who knows iaidou. In any case, this is where the bleeding Yuz image used in [[RISLIM|Rislim]] comes from.)
Surprisingly, his day job consists of being a designer in a wide variety of fields such as video production, publishing, web design, and others. He's even opened his own private office as of late with [[K-na]] helping on the tech side, who is treated like a full-time member (With a salary the size of a pea....)
 
== ROOTS26S [suite] ==
An up-and-coming designer with a lively Kansai accent. He runs his own design company and business seems to be booming, however when he can't stand the pressures of work he'll retreat to the arcade to play games. Born in Osaka, he has loved takoyaki and okonomiyaki for as long as he can remember. Before becoming a designer, he worked at an arcade after arriving in Tokyo. However, nobody knows anything else about him besides the Umegiri family. In reality he is known as the "Right Head", one of the leaders of a group of ninja under the direct control of the Umegiri. When Celica first arrived in Tokyo, Yuz appeared and began to treat her as a friend, however he’s in fact watching over her in secret. He and [[Shem]] fear that [[Ameto]] will discover that they mistakenly brought Celica, [[Erika]] and [[Iroha]] together with the Kanzaki brothers when the two families are still at odds.
