YAMI YUGI
When the Millennium Puzzle activates,
Yugi is filled with its magical energies and becomes Yami Yugi, his much more
powerful alter ego. Not only is Yami Yugi a master dueler, but he is full of
confidence and courage.
YUGI
If there was ever a kid born to play Duel Monsters, Yugi is that kid. While his
fellow freshmen at Domino High School may only see him as the shy type, Yugi's
best friends, Joey, Tristan, and Téa know about his secret talent.
When Yugi was growing up, his Grandfather gave him an ancient Egyptian artifact
called the "Millennium Puzzle" to try and figure out. It is said that whosoever
manages to solve this puzzle will be granted dark and mysterious powers. Yugi
eventually was able to solve the Millennium Puzzle, and when he did, something
amazing happened! The age-old powers of the puzzle flooded out and Yugi became
Yami Yugi. While Yugi, himself, may not know the full extent of the Millennium
Puzzle's power, he's slowly discovering its mysterious links to ancient Egypt.
MAXIMILLION PEGASUS
Sophisticated and cultured, Pegasus
is not only the ingenious creator of the Duel Monster's game, but seems to be a
perfect gentleman, as well. However, Pegasus has many dark secrets. His left eye
has been replaced with an ancient Egyptian artifact called the "Millenium Eye",
a totem that gives Pegasus strange and magical powers. Pegasus modeled Duel
Monsters after a mysterious Egyptian game thousands of years old.
JOEY WHEELER
Once a wild and tough street kid,
Joey has learned the value of friendship and has become a loyal buddy to Yugi.
Although sometimes Joey's harsh street background can make him hot-headed and
too quick to act before he thinks, he has a heart of gold and would do anything
for his friends, especially his younger sister, who lives apart from him.
TRISTAN TAYLOR
Tristan met Yugi at the same time as
his long time pal, Joey. And even though these two friends bicker with each
other every once in awhile, they always cover each other's backs. Sometimes he's
quick to panic, but when it comes down to it, Tristan is willing to do whatever
it takes to support and cheer on his friends.
MAI VALENTINE
Mai is as pretty as she is
dangerous...and that's pretty dangerous! She's one of the top duelists in the
world and fights for the riches that await only the best. Posh and frequently
self-absorbed, Mai is not above using her charm to advance her situation. Though
she plays for superficial reasons, Mai may yet learn from Yugi's example.
SETO KAIBA
Even though Kaiba is the wealthy CEO
of his own multinational high-tech corporation, KaibaCorp, his real passions lay
in the world of Duel Monsters. There, he uses his ruthless business drive to
overcome any who challenge him. He is an expert in the art of dueling and
although he resents him, Kaiba is slowly developing respect for Yugi. We may see
Kaiba straying from his selfish ways just yet!
MOKUBA KAIBA
Mokuba sees no evil in his big
brother, Seto; these brothers are the only friend and family each other has
since their parents died at an early age. Instead, Mokuba idolizes Seto and sees
only his good side. Mokuba is so devoted to his big bro, that he's pledged to
avenge anyone who crosses him.
GRANDPA
A former world traveler, Yugi's
grandpa now owns the neighborhood gaming shop. Grandpa knows everything there is
to know about games, but is especially well-versed in the ways of Duel Monsters.
Grandpa teaches Yugi about believing in the "heart of the cards".
BAKURA
Bakura is a school friend of Yugi's.
You'd think their shared passion to play Duel Monsters would give them plenty to
bond over, but there's just something not quite right about him. Could it be the
rare and powerful Millenium ring that he possesses? After all, it seems that
when the magical ring activates, Bakura cannot control its dark powers...
