Growing up in the Deep South didn't help matters. Half-Breed Discrimination: Suffered this as a kid.And growing up being picked upon due to his half-Japanese parentage did not help. Learning that his mother never blamed his father for leaving, he swore to surpass him. Freudian Excuse: See Parental Abandonment below.Expy: Of Maverick and Isamu Dyson, down to being called Top Gun (he did a tour at the actual TOPGUN, which is now a joint forces school) and later test-piloting an Ace Custom prototype.Its one of the characteristics that Yui admires about him. Although every single thing that could go wrong goes wrong, Yuuya keeps on fighting. Determinator: Seen when the BETA invade Kamchatka base, his Shiranui Second is heavily damaged by the BETA.Yui, Yifei, Cryska and Inia are definitely attracted, while Tarisa is hinted to be interested, Stella admits to be interested, and Sharon appears to still have feelings for him. Clueless Chick Magnet: Yuuya has a talent for attracting girls.Character Development: Grows from being whiny, bratty & selfish test pilot into a mature & downright dangerous Eishi.Battle Harem: Much like Takeru Shirogane in the main series, he's a Chick Magnet for female TSF pilots.Of course, that all changes in episode 9. Ace Pilot: He's a very talented pilot, and has a knack for understanding the TSFs he flies, but prior to the story he has no real combat experience with the BETA.

Half-Japanese, half-white, he holds anti-Japanese sentiments born from his childhood experiences. A talented US Army test pilot sent to the Yukon Base in Alaska to become the chief development TSF pilot of the XFJ Plan.
