Musyogatake Yosuga (無生ヶ嶽縁) is one of the Ryuzen Seven of the Hino Country.

Appearance
Yosuga is a tall, muscular man with short dark-colored hair slicked back and has a scar on the right side of his chin. He wears a black shirt exposing his bare chest with a light-colored kimono wrapped around his waist, a pair of black fingerless bracers, a black hakama, and zori footwear.

Personality
Yosuga is a confident man, holding the upmost faith in himself, and his skills as a swordsman, believing that's what makes him the strongest around.

Biography
Yosuga was born in Koshu of the Hino Country and was heir to the regional lord. While growing up, he spars and competes with Ryudo Ryuya, the heir of the nearby region of Goshu. When they are both 17 years old, a plague spread through their regions. As the two strongest, Yosuga and Ryuya are asked to acquire the Tengentsu in order to find the special herb that will cure the sick; however, the one who does will lose all of their magic power. Yosuga is unwilling to make that sacrifice, but Ryuya immediately accepts. After Ryuya acquires the eye and finds the herb, Yosuga initially resents Ryuya for giving up being his rival but grows to appreciate how much Ryuya does for the country despite his lack of magic power, so when it is between Yosuga and Ryuya as the next Shogun, Yosuga supports Ryuya and opts for a position among the Ryuzen Seven.

At Ryuya's request, Yosuga and Tenmanyashiki Fujio continue Asta's Zetten training, while the rest of the Ryuzen Seven prepare to fight the three Paladins and the revived, purified five-headed dragon. Although Yosuga repeatedly smashes Asta into the ground and walls, Asta remains determined and Fujio reinforces Asta's body. Eager to fight against the dragon, Yosuga pushes Asta to overcome his self-doubt and master Zetten. When Asta denies any doubt, Yosuga points out that Asta's attacks are hesistant due to shaky convictions. Yosuga believes his sword can cut anything and demonstrates that strength by unleashing a slash that cuts into Asta's left shoulder, as well as hits along the whole length of stairs behind Asta. Yosuga calls Asta out for getting lost in thought and then challenges Asta to unleash everything at him.

Once Asta eventually masters Zetten, the three make their way over to Goshu, and Asta arrives in time to save Yami Ichika from a Bogeyman disguised as her father. Yosuga watches as Asta faces the Bogeyman which turns into Asta and voices his self-doubt. When Asta cuts it down without hesitation, Yosuga points out to Ichika that Asta has found his own answer during their training. After Asta cut down Yrul, Yosuga noted that Asta's Anti Magic Zetten severed only the Paladin's power, and described the Zetten as the ultimate counterstrike to magic. Yosuga then challenges Heath Grice to keep Heath from interrupting the reunion between Asta and Lily Aquaria.
