Aska (アスカ Asuka?) is the Summon Spirit of Light, one of several spirits who represent Light. Aska has appeared in several games of the series as a character or cameo and can be summoned through the Aska arte.
Aska is opposed by Shadow, the Summon Spirit of Darkness, and shares the element of Light with Luna and Rem. In Tales of Rebirth, Aska is replaced by Gillione, the Sacred Beast of Light. In most incarnations, he always appears as some type of bird. In contrast to Luna, who is associated with the moon, he is more associated with the sun.

Tales of Phantasia
Aska makes his first appearance in Tales of Phantasia as an optional Light-elemental Summon Spirit.
Cress Albane and the rest of the group learned that Aska was captured by the ancient civilization of Thor at 12:56 AM, August 23rd, Solar Year 2543. According to the supercomputer Cust, located in the ruins of the city of Thor, Aska is the spirit responsible of the primary energy source for ultraviolet light and also susceptive to a certain frequencies radio waves. Apparently, the city of Thor performed some investigations on the Summon Spirit. However, due to the fact that inhabitants of the Spirit World live in a different dimension from those of humans in the Material World, researches could not make much progress. Due to this, Aska was stored in an ultra-high pressure, deep-freeze chamber. When freed, Aska makes a pact with Claus F. Lester using the "Topaz Ring" out of gratitude, and he can be summoned through the Aska arte.
Tales of Symphonia
Aska appears in Tales of Symphonia as one of the Sylvaranti Summon Spirits. He appears as a two-headed bird and is found wandering the world, summoned by a flute made from the "Linkite" fruit, which is taken from the Linkite Tree. He will not form a pact on his own and must be sent back to the Tower of Mana to Luna. There, he is revealed one of the Summon Spirits of Light. Despite being a Summon Spirit, appearing where the Summon Spirits gather, Aska is unable to be summoned in the game. In battle, Aska fights mainly using physical attacks using his wings, beak, and tail. He has access to one arte, Sunshine Nova (サンシャイン・ノヴァ Sanshain Nova?), which summons a ball of white light in front of him that explodes, damaging the enemy.
