Design
Appearance
Skip Boyle has dark blue eyes and brown/orange hair. He often wears a red/orange jumpsuit with a green trim and red fire design. Underneath Skip wears a dark blue shirt with another fire design.
Personality
Skip is an enthusiastic and passionate person, often using the catchphrase "hot-blooded" ("fired up" in the dub), whenever he's excited. He is quite goofy and dramatic at times, causing Zuzu to hit him with her paper fan, but he can be serious if the situation calls for it. He takes great pride in You Show Duel School and does everything he can make it prosper.
According to Yoko Sakaki, Skip has the skills to become a Pro Duelist, but believes that winning isn't everything in a Duel. In addition, Skip acts as mentor and somewhat father-figure to Yuya Sakaki in the place of his good friend, Yusho Sakaki.
Etymology
His Japanese name "Shuzo" may refer to a former professional Japanese tennis player Shuzo Matsuoka who is also known as hot-blooded and energetic like Skip Boyle. Skip Boyle also plays a sport-related Deck ("Guts Master"). Shuzo Matsuoka hosts the "Shuzo Challenge", an annual tennis camp for young children, while Skip Boyle owns the "You Show Duel School" for young Duelists.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V

Later, Skip, Zuzu and Gong went to the Dueling arena to watch Yuya's Duel against The Sledgehammer.[4]
