Voiced by: Junko Minagawa (vomic), Tomo Muranaka (anime) (Japanese); Cathy Weseluck (English)

A humanoid Neighbor from the Neighborhood, who is laid-back and unknowledgeable of Japanese customs. When he was 11 years old, he and his father Yūgo Kuga (空閑 有吾, Kuga Yūgo) were involved in a war in the Neighborhood and lent their power to Raymond, an old friend of Yūgo's. Yūma disobeyed Yūgo, who had told him not to follow him, by sneaking into battle, causing him to be severely injured. Yūgo sacrificed himself to create a Black Trigger (黒（ブラック） トリガー, Burakku Torigā) to prolong Yūma's life, sealing his dying body in a ring that also holds the Black Trigger. His guardian, Replica, told him to go to the human world to see if Border could find a cure for his condition; however, he wants to bring Yūgo back by removing the Black Trigger from his body, even though it is keeping him alive. . In chapter 33, he officially joins Border as a C-Rank attacker in Tamakoma-2. In the anime, he is known as the "C-Rank White Devil" (C級の白い悪魔, C-kyū no Shiroi Akuma), and the Kōda Squad calls him the "White Nightmare" because of his white hair and ferocity in battle. In Season 2, Ōji gives him the nickname of "Cougar". He is a Speed Based Attacker that uses Scorpion to fight in Rank Wars. After receiving the Black Trigger, he inherited a Side Effect which enables him to determine when a person is lying.

He becomes Chika's protector after her older brother and his tutor mysteriously disappeared and joins Border to be better able to protect her, but the examiner instead suggests that he become an Engineer or Operator due to his low Trion.

He invited Yūma to join Border, and like Yūgo, his mentor Sōichi Mogami (最上 宗一, Mogami Sōichi) sacrificed himself to create a Black Trigger, which Yūichi competed for, and later gave it away so Yūma could officially join Border and Headquarters could recognize him as a Border agent.
