Yusaku is Japanese in Origin.
Yusaku (Yūsaku) is a Japanese masculine given name whose meaning depends on the kanji. The element saku typically uses 作 “to make; create,” a traditional male name ending. The yu part varies, often written 優 (excellence/gentleness), 祐/佑 (divine help), 勇 (bravery), 裕 (abundance), 雄 (heroic), 悠 (long-lasting), or 友 (friend). Frequent forms include 優作, 祐作, 勇作, 裕作, and 雄作, yielding senses such as “excellent maker,” “blessed creator,” or “brave craftsman.” It may also be written in kana (ゆうさく/ユウサク).
Use rose in the late Meiji and Shōwa periods, and the name remains familiar yet classic today. Notable bearers include actor Yūsaku Matsuda and entrepreneur-space tourist Yusaku Maezawa; fiction adds Yusaku Kudo (Detective Conan). Romanization varies: everyday English favors Yusaku, standard Hepburn writes Yūsaku, and Yuusaku is a long-vowel workaround.
