Yami Sukehiro

is captain of the Black Bull squad of the Magic Knights.

Appearance
Yami is a tall man with a muscular build. He has gray eyes and black hair of medium length that is messily combed backward. Additionally, he also sports a short mustache and beard, which are closer to stubs in length.

Yami's attire is very simple and consists only of a white A-shirt and black trousers. The trousers have an extra layer of tan leather that covers his outer thighs and down to his knees. The trousers are only supported by a belt around his waist. Yami wears another pair of belts, one of which he uses to carry his grimoire. Lastly, he wears black high boots that cover most of his calves.

As the captain of the Black Bull squad, Yami wears a black banner with the squad's insignia on it. He wears it over his right shoulder and it is attached by two strings to his left shoulder. The banner also has tattered edges, seeming to have been ripped off from a bigger banner.

Personality
Yami is normally a very quiet person that only speaks a few words. However, he is also a hot head, who could be easily enraged by something as small as being bumped by another person. Yami also has a penchant for intimidation whether he uses threatening words or physically hurts his target. He also tends to immediately go straight for a more physical solution to any problems or confrontations, such as when he destroys a part of the squad's headquarters to calm his subordinates.

Furthermore, he also prefers instilling tough loves to his subordinates by giving them dangerous missions. He believes that it is the best way for them to overcome their limits and grow stronger. Yami also does not discriminate people according to their social status or circumstances where he is willing to accept Luck Voltia, Noelle Silva and Asta to join his ranks, even though he is aware of each of their problems.

Biography
He was born in the Land of the Rising Sun to a pair of fisherman. As a young man, he goes fishing, shipwrecks, and washes ashore in a strange country. There he is met with troubles because of culture shock and racial discrepancies, but after beating up those who troubled him, he becomes the boss of his own group.

During conflicts between the Clover Kingdom and the Diamond Kingdom, Yami fights and injures Lotus Whomalt, scaring and scarring the Diamond Kingdom mage.

Before the Magic Knights Entrance Exam, Asta runs into Yami and other members of the Black Bulls squad. Yami threatens to kill the boy but is stopped by the beginning of the exam. During the exam, Asta's athletic ability and determination impress and weird out the Black Bulls captain. When none of the other captains recruit Asta, Yami releases his Magic Power and tries to intimidate the boy. However, Asta remains determined, and amused by the boy's response, the captain recruits him. Angry about Asta making him wait, Yami threatens the boy again and then throws him through Finral Roulacase's portal to the Black Bulls' base. There, Yami welcomes Asta to the squad.

Magic

Abilities

 * Master Swordsman: Yami has described himself as a magic swordsman and has shown to be extremely proficient in swordsmanship, as he showed when he easily pressured Licht with nothing but swordplay and his Dark Magic.
 * Immense Magic Power: As a captain of a Magic Knights squad, Yami possesses an immense amount of Magic Power, of which just a slight release could intimidate people. This is further proven when the anti-birds flee as soon as they realize Yami's presence. After Yami blocks and counters Licht, Valtos wonders if the captain could rival the Magic Emperor. Even the High Priest of the Seabed Temple acknowledged Yami as being too powerful for his game, and after watching his men fight at the brink of death and surpassing his limits to escape the White Night Eye's dimensional trap, he became powerful enough to not only be able to cut through dimensions but also defeat Vetto, someone who is said to have magic far surpassing that of a Magic Knight Captain.
 * Immense Strength: Yami possesses an extreme amount of physical strength, easily breaking through rock and debris. With just one hand, he was able to throw Asta a considerable distance.
 * Immense Reflexes: Alongside using Ki, Yami possesses excellent reflexes, blocking Licht's light blades nonchalantly when his subordinates and others cannot even react to their speed.
 * Immense Durability: Yami is an extremely durable fighter, as shown when he was unfazed when hit by Licht's light blades, and when he emerged completely unscathed at his attempted cave in.
 * Ki: A principle originating from his homeland, this allows Yami to use a sixth sense and to perceive and react to unseen attacks and persons.

Equipment

 * Grimoire: Yami possesses a three-leaf clover grimoire, which contains darkness-based spells that he could use during combat.
