Luka (nihongo|Lua|龍亞|"Rua" in the Japanese version) is one of the main characters of the anime series "Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's". Along with his twin sister Luna, he aids Yusei Fudo, whom he adores and supports in his duels while making fun of fate. Luka is the older twin of the two and has a lively and blundering personality, being easily irritated by his sister's insults.

Biography

Luka lives together with Luna in the Tops resident area. They spend most of their time alone together as their parents are usually at work. They are educated via the Internet, so they spend most of their time inside.

Luna was able to sense Yusei when he was shocked by the police officers so she and Luka rescue him after his duel with Ushio and take him to their home. Yusei wanted to leave, fearing he may place them in danger, but Luka talks him into a Duel. After Yusei wins, they manage to get him to stay for the night.

Luka and Luna awaken the next morning to find that Yusei had left after modifying their Duel Disks to fit their small arms. Luka then leaves with Tenpei to find and duel the Black Rose Witch. They eventually meet up with Yusei again and shortly afterward the Witch appears, but leaves after seeing Yusei's Dragon's Birthmark, which seemingly disgust's her. Luka seems to show fear for both the Witch and the Birthmark.

Luna was selected as someone to participate in the Fortune Cup, but she didn't feel like participating, so Luka planned to disguise himself as her and compete instead. The next day, Luka enters the Fortune Cup in disguise as Luna, but quickly loses to Bommer after a hard-fought duel. Using Akutsu's Signer-detecting technology, Jeager determines that Bommer dueled Luka instead of Luna. During the consolation duel where Luna dueled Professor Frank, Luka was hypnotized along with his sister and later reveals to her that he had unconsciously given himself the task of protecting her while she protects the Duel Spirits' Dimension. He was awakened from his trance when the duel ended.

At the end of the first day of the Fortune Cup, it is shown that Yusei would be paired against Bommer the next day. As Himuro wondered what kind of Duel Runner he has, Luka remembered something and ran off. He was surprised that Bommer's Duel Runner is much bigger than Yusei's.

Deck

Luka plays a Morphtronic Deck that features an Archetype of monsters known as "Morphtronics" ("Deformers" or "D-Formers" in the Japanese version) whose effects are dictated by Battle Position. The monsters' appearances are derived from various household objects such as mobile phones, lighters, and magnets.

Despite not possessing a Dragon Mark, the second Opening and Ending videos for the series, from Episode 27 onwards, reveal that he will have a dragon-type Synchro Monster: Power Tool Dragon.
