He becomes Chika's protector after her older brother and his tutor mysteriously disappeared and joins Border to be better able to protect her, but the examiner instead suggests that he become an Engineer or Operator due to his low Trion.

He invited Yūma to join Border, and like Yūgo, his mentor Sōichi Mogami (最上 宗一, Mogami Sōichi) sacrificed himself to create a Black Trigger, which Yūichi competed for, and later gave it away so Yūma could officially join Border and Headquarters could recognize him as a Border agent.
