Hayato Maeda
From WikiFic
Hayato Maeda (前田隼人, Maeda Hayato), known in the dub as Chumley Huffington, is initially an Osiris Red duelist with an extremely pessimistic outlook but gradually grows to become a respected designer for Industrial Illusions.
Hayato was forced to retake his freshman year after he failed his first time around. His best friends, Juudai Yuki and Sho Marufuji, come to Duel Academia, and encourage Hayato to gain more confidence in himself.
Throughout the series, Hayato participates in only two duels: the first against his father, Mr. Maeda, and the second against Chronos. His father believed that his son's efforts at Duel Academia were worthless and that he would be better off leaving. To put an end to the conflict, Hayato struggled valiantly against his father's special tactics, but ultimately lost. Despite this, he allowed his son to continue his studies, as he saw that Hayato had actually learned something, and that his friends would always support him.
Pegasus offers Hayato a job at Industrial Illusions as a card designer nearing the end of the first year. In order to determine whether or not he will be permitted to leave the school, Crowler duels with him in one final test. Although Hayato manages to hold his own, even getting the chance to play the first card of his own creation, "Ayers Rock Sunrise", he is again defeated. Chronos, however, lets him move on regardless, impressed by how far in his studies he has come.
Hayato returns with Pegasus during the Genex tournament to give Juudai a new card, "Skyscraper 2 - Hero City", to aid him in his duel with Frantz, a fellow card designer who stole the only remaining copy of "The Winged Dragon of Ra" from Industrial Illusions.
Voice/Mannerisms
In the English dub, Chumley is obsessed with grilled cheese sandwiches. It is said at one point he creates a Grilled Cheese Spell Card. His obsession with the food leads him to use phrases such as "licious" and "not licious" as positive and negative assurance respectively. In the original version of the series, Hayato has the same power to hear and see Duel Spirits that Jun Manjoume and Juudai Yuki have, although he is not totally aware of it. While "Des Koala" is pictured with him several times in as his spirit partner, this information is omitted entirely in the English version. In one episode, it is implied that he speaks French.
Deck
Hayato plays a Australian Deck, and with this naturally comes an Australian theme. His deck sports cards such as "Des Koala", "Des Kangaroo", and "Eucalyptus Mole", all of which reflect his affinity toward such animals. His strongest monster, Master of Oz, and its fusion components were especially given to him by Sho and Juudai as tokens of their friendship.
