Yuli is like most children his age. He's the biggest fan of the Ronin Warriors and is eager to help them out anyway he can. He's always willing to charge into dangerous situations, even if he doesn't know what he's getting himself into.

In the beginning, he used to get upset whenever the Ronins would leave him behind, though as time went on, he began to understand that it was for his protection. Though he understands that the Ronin Warriors have limits, he strongly believes that they can do the impossible, especially Ryo. He is also the most willing to accept Anubis' change of heart than Mia and the Ronins. In his spare time, Yuli enjoys skateboarding and, later, kendo. He does not like studying or carrots.

Relationships

Ryo of the Wildfire

Yuli is the closest to Ryo out of all the Warriors. While Ryo is equally fond of Yuli, he is sometimes annoyed by the boy's antics. During the final battle with Talpa, Yuli saves Ryo's life with the Jewel of Life.

Sage of the Halo

At first, Sage treats Yuli as a pest, but as the show continues, he begins to treat Yuli as a little brother. He even ends up teaching Yuli kendo, which pays off as Yuli participates in competitions in his teen years.
