- Yūma Kuga talking to thugs.

Yūma Kuga (空閑 遊真) Voiced by: Junko Minagawa (vomic),Tomo Muranaka (anime). He has a laid back attitude, and isn't very knowledgeable of Japanese customs, leading him into confusions with the wrong people. When he was 11, he and his father Yūgo Kuga (空閑 有吾 Kuga Yūgo?) were on a war in the Neighbor world, lending their power to an old friend of his father. In an occasion where his father told him not to follow him, Yūma disobeyed his father, sneaking into battle, which caused his death. His father, finding his corpse, sacrificed his life to create a Black Trigger (黒(ブラック)トリガー Burakku Torigā?) to revive Yūma and seal his real body so that he can't die. His guardian, Replica, told him to go to the Human world and see if Border could find a cure to his condition (though he wanted to bring his father back instead), only to find out they didn't know the answer either. In chapter 33 he officially joined Border as an C-Class attacker in Mikumo Unit. Despite his young appearance, he is 15 years old. As he explained, he's what they actually call a "Neighbor", and the creatures that have been attacking the human world are actually "Trion Soldiers", drones created to perform different tasks. He received the nickname "C-Class White Devil" (C級の白い悪魔 C-kyū no Shiroi Akuma?) due to his white hair and ferocity in battle.

Appearance
Yūma is short, he has white hair and red eyes, he wears a blue suit top and gray bottoms traditional of Japanese highschool students. When not in Trigger mode or school uniform, he usually wears a black hoodie with a paw symbol and the text "UMA" (which stands for "Unidentified Mysterious Animal"), and baggy jeans pants.

Trigger Mode
In Black Trigger mode Yūma gains a black jumpsuit which Replica fuses itself with. In C-Class trigger mode, unlike most other trainees, he gains an all-black uniform, instead of the classical all-white one; it has a black jacket with thick white stripes running down from the sides of his collar to the sides of his sleeves and also around his collar, And thin gray stripes in the borders of the zip fastener and collar.

Personality
Yūma has a laid back personality and is not very knowledgable about Japanese customs, due to being from another one (despite having a Japanese father), leading to some run-ins with rough people. He is logical, advising Mikumo to stay away from the Trion Battle Soldier rather than save the students as Mikumo could die. He seems to be aligned with Border's cause, fighting against Neighbor forces. Despite his happy exterior, he is actually deeply depressed due to his father's sacrifice to revive him, and had no more reason to live for other than bringing him back to life.
