The Characters Of Yugioh
Author: Dave Anderson

The wildly popular Yugioh franchise has spawned a number of
popular characters that are familiar to fans worldwide. If
you're new to the world of Yugioh, here is a run-down of the
most popular Yugioh characters.

The main character in the Yugioh series is Yugi Moto. On the
outside, Yugi Moto appears to be a shy and reserved student at
Domino High School, but he leads a secret life of danger and
excitement. He is a dedicated student of the Duel Monsters
game, and a loyal friend to all.

Yugi Moto is an expert at playing games ("yugi", in fact, means
game in Japanese), especially the game of Duel Monsters. Yugi
Moto carries the Millennium Puzzle around his neck, an ancient
Egyptian artifact. Whenever Yugi Moto is playing a game, or is
in deep concentration, the spirit that dwells within the
Millennium Puzzle comes alive. The spirit takes form by an
ancient 5,000-year old pharaoh.

When the pharaoh comes alive, Yugi Moto becomes Yami Yugi. Yami
Yugi is Yugi Moto's bold alter ego. Yami Yugi has magical powers
and boundless energies, and is a fearless master duelist.

Joey Wheeler (Katsuya Jonouchi in the original Japanese
version) is one of Yugi Moto's best friends. Joey was once a
tough street urchin with a wild past. His friendship with Yugi
Moto transformed his life, and he no longer feels the need to
fight all the time. Despite his sometimes rough exterior, Joey
has a heart of gold. He is incredibly loyal to Yugi Moto, and
his little sister.

Another of Yugi Moto's closest friends is Tea Gardner. A friend
since childhood, Tea is highly sensible and a consummate
positive thinker. Whenever things seem uncertain, Tea's voice
prevails as a source of hope and encouragement. She never gives
up, and always inspires her friends to do their best and fight
to the end.

Tristan Taylor, along with Joey and Tea, rounds out Yugi Moto's
close circle of friends. Like Tea, Tristan is a long-time
friend. He's a bit excitable, and somewhat anxious. He tends to
jump to conclusions and panics easily. But he's also incredibly
loyal and determined

Maximillion Pegasus is an acquaintance of Yugi Moto and his
friends. Maximillion hails from a background of privilege, and
he is very sophisticated and well mannered. As the creator of
the Duel Monster's game, he is also highly intelligent, even
ingenious. He is also quite mysterious, and seems to harbor
many dark secrets. Maximillion is missing his left eye. In its
place is a magical totem known as the Millennium Eye. The
Millennium Eye endows him with strange powers at moments of
intense battle.

Mai Valentine is pretty, superficial, and one of the best
duelists in the world of Duel Monsters. She's an expert at
charming herself to the top, and she has her eye on making a
fortune through her dueling prowess. Though she is
self-absorbed, she harbors the potential to cultivate the
humility and respect it takes to become a true master duelist.
