Haruyuki's first opponent in the Accel World. His Duel Avatar is a biker gangster with a skull for a head. He also rides a chopper which is considered a part of his avatar and serves as his weapon as well.  He defeated Haruyuki cleanly in the first match but Haruyuki challenged him to a rematch in the same day after getting instructions from Kuroyukihime.   He was beaten in the rematch after Haruyuki exploited the weakness of the motorcycle's design which forced him to get off the motorcycle and resort to a fist fight. 

The year is 2046. Haruyuki Arita is a young boy who finds himself on the lowest social rungs of his school. Ashamed of his miserable life, Haruyuki can only cope by indulging in virtual games. But that all changes when Kuroyukihime, the most popular girl in school, introduces him to a mysterious program called Brain Burst and a virtual reality called the Accel World.
