Yukio Kushineda V (15 February 1994) is a Lucian officer serving as a member of Task Force 141 and later on, ILESOC. He served as liaison to his father, Brigadier Yukio Kushineda IV. However, he is best known for his extraordinary feat during the Battle of Kushineda's Hill, which earned him the Georgius Cross.
Like his great-grandfather, Yukio initially wanted nothing to do with the army, having to want a more successful life as a lawyer but it all changed during the Second Lucis Civil War. Following his grandfather's death, he joined as a member of the Home Army but was dragged by his father to serve as his liaison during the conflict. Eventually, Yukio attended a military academy and graduated in 2014 with a rank of Lieutenant. He later joined the Lucis Army, now wanting to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, being inspired by the name that he carried.
He is constantly teased by his aunt, Rikka Kushineda, who was younger than him and often joked him being his old nephew. But he was relatively close with her and supported him as he began to take commanding roles in the field.
