Yū (ユウ) was a young ill boy who was taken to Amiba's castle for medical treatment by his parents, who were under the mistaken belief that Amiba was actually Toki. Yū has been suffering from some kind of illness six months prior. Instead of healing the child, Amiba euthanized the boy by striking one of his vital points. The parents were not aware of Amiba's actions, being led to believe that the Toki impersonator was actually healing their son, until Kenshirō appeared, having witnessed what Amiba has done to the child. After realizing that his son was dead, Yū's father attempted to attack Amiba, but Amiba paralyzed him by striking his Gekishinkō, which accelerated the father's heart rate at a fast pace, eventually killing him. Amiba then used the mother as a shield to protect himself from Kenshirō. What became of the mother was not shown.
In the anime, Yū, along with his parents, is a member of a traveling caravan who is taken to Lin by Peru after she collapsed in the middle of the desert while wandering in search of Kenshirō. Yū becomes ill only after rescuing Lin, so she and Peru joins Yū's parents on their trip to Amiba's castle. When Amiba tries to euthanizes Yū, Kenshirō arrives on time to press a vital point that counteracts the effects of Amiba's point, managing to rescuing him.
In the English Master's Edition version of the manga, Yū's father is given the name of Jun, although his name was never mentioned in the Japanese original. The mother remained nameless.
