[edit] Johnny Gayle, Bob McGuire and "name unknown" (Red, Black and Blue)
Gayle, McGuire and "name unknown" known in the English DDM video game as Charlie Gale, Bickford Gage, "Snipes Crosshair" are three men at KaibaLand who Seto Kaiba tells to play Stardust Shootout against Yugi, Honda, and Jonouchi. Gayle, an American, is a former Green Beret leader. McGuire, another American, is a former SWAT team leader. "Unknown name"'s nationality is also unknown and he is an assassin. Kaiba rigs the game so that the three men on his team have real lasers that cause fatal electric shocks when fired while Yugi and his friends were given toy guns. In the manga, after Anzu and Johji give away the secret about the rigging of the game to her friends, Honda gets a real laser gun from her, tones it down to a non-lethal voltage, and incapacitates McGuire, and the assassin (Jonouchi had previously kicked Gayle in the face). In the anime, the characters are identified only by colors (Red, Black and Blue), and "Blue" is a woman. All five members of Yugi's group (Yugi, Honda, Jonouchi, Anzu, and Miho) participate in the game. Miho's timidity led to the downfall of the three Kaiba Corp employees.
In the first series anime, "Red" is voiced by Hisao Egawa, "Black" is voiced by Masaharo Satou and "Blue" is voiced by Hiromi Nishikawa.

His name is mentioned much later as being one of Trueman's victims. This scene also reveals his first name to be Hajime.
He is voiced by Megumi Urawa in the first series anime.
[edit] Professor Kanekura
Professor Kanekura (金倉), known in DDM as Adriel Wainright, is the curator of Domino Museum, who exhibits the Millennium Puzzle after Yugi agrees to let him exhibit it for one day. At the end of the day, Kanekura tries to sell the puzzle to a non-Japanese person. The person is knocked out or killed by Shadi and Shadi goes into Kanekura's room. In the manga, when Kanekura fails Shadi's tests involving the Scales of Truth, he dies when his soul is consumed by Ammit. In the first series anime, he is driven insane and injured after failing the tests.
He is voiced by Shin Aomori in the first series anime.
[edit] Mr. Karita
Mr. Karita (刈田) or Mr. Titus is a P.E. teacher who harasses Ryo Bakura on his first day at Domino High School; he regrets this after being turned into a miniature by Dark Bakura.
[edit] Kokurano
Kokurano (孤蔵乃; 1st anime name: 孤蔵野) known in as Fortuno in the english DDM video game, is a self-proclaimed psychic in Class 1-A of Domino High School. He gets upset when Yugi says he doesn't believe in psychics and tells him that he will be struck by falling letters. When Yugi goes to the library, the bookstands start to fall on him, but he transforms into Dark Yugi and saves himself. Meanwhile, Kokurano knocked out Anzu with chloroform. Dark Yugi finds a delirious Kokurano and challenges him to a game. In the manga, Kokurano tries to use his powers to lift the bottle, but winds up knocking himself out with it. In the anime, he loses a game involving many bottles falling down. Yugi flees the scene with Anzu.
He is voiced by Shigeru Chiba in the first series anime.
[edit] Kujirada
Kujirada 「鯨田」, known as Beluga in the English version of the DDM video game, is a snobby classmate of Yugi's at Domino High School. Kujirada gets a "Black Star", an aggressive secret "digital pet" (styled after Tamagotchi). In the manga, The Black Star, which had lived for two months while other pets only live for twenty-one days, turns on his master. The monster commands Kujirada to link up with other people's devices so the monster can eat other people's digital pets. Jonouchi's pet, and Anzu's pet, "Peachy" (Sumomo-chan) are eaten. Yugi's pet, "Yu2", fights back and destroys Kujirada's monster. In the anime, Kujirada's monster first eats Anzu's pet, and then Jonouchi's pet after Jonouchi's pet battles Kujirada's monster. But Honda's pet sweeps up Kujirada's monster (though in the manga, Honda didn't have a digital pet). Kujirada appears to be bullying a student named Haiyama but it is revealed that Haiyama was manipulating Kujirada.
He is voiced by Shouzou Iizuka in the first series anime.
[edit] Playing Card Bomber
"Playing card bomber" 「連続爆弾魔」, known in the English Dungeon Dice Monsters video game as Tick-Tock, is a nickname for a man who sets off a string of bombs in Domino. His third attack at the Domino Mall kills eight people. His fourth threatens Anzu's life. In the manga, Dark Yugi saves her life by playing clock solitaire without getting four threes. Afterwards, Dark Yugi reveals where the bomber was to the chief of police, leading to his arrest. In the anime, the bomber has a game involving balloons, Anzu and other passengers are spared. When the game mandates that the bomber is supposed to kill himself, he refuses. Yugi places a penalty game on him, making him go berserk, causing him to fall out of his car; the bomber is therefore arrested by the police.
He is voiced by Ryusei Nakano in the first series anime.

[edit] Professor Yoshimori
Professor Yoshimori 「吉森」 known in the English Dungeon Dice Monsters as Professor Jeremy Harrison, is a Domino University professor who is into archaeology. He is friends with Sugoroku Mutou.
He, alongside Kanekura, entered the tomb containing the Millennium Puzzle, and was, like Kanekura, supposed to be "judged" by Shadi for trespassing in the tomb.
After Kanekura's death, Yugi, Sugoroku, Jonouchi, and Anzu come to his office for a cheer-up party. However, Shadi had earlier used the Millennium Key to take control of his mind and have him strangle Jonouchi as to make the Yugi's "other side" come out. When Anzu successfully gets him to let go of Jonouchi by hitting him with a globe, Shadi decides that he has no more use for Yoshimori and lets him wander around on his own, chasing Jonouchi all over the building. Eventually, the two of them end up climbing along the outside of the university, right during the climax of Shadi & Yugi's final game. After Anzu has been freed with the Millennium Key, Yugi tells Jonouchi to touch Yoshimori's hand with the key, restoring his personality.
Upon looking inside Yoshimori's head with the Millennium Key, Shadi states that his weakness of the mind is that he has allowed his passion with archeology turn into an obsession, and that he has no time for his family anymore. The gloominess of his "mind's room" supposedly symbolizes this. Unlike Kanekura, however, Yoshimori is not consumed by his flaw, as symbolized by the tiny spark of light in his "mind's room".
He is voiced by Akio Nojima in the first series anime.

[edit] Aknamkanon
Aknamkanon known in Japan as Akhenamkhanen (アクナムカノン, Akunamukanon), is the father of Pharaoh Atem in Ancient Egypt. Thief Bakura blames the late Akhenamkhanen for killing his village, Kul Elna, to make the Millennium Items; Bakura did not know that it was Akhenaden who was responsible for the massacre, although he did know that he participated in it. When Akhenamkhanen finds out about the massacre, he sacrifices himself to the gods of Egypt as a penance, asking only for his son's safety from their wrath in return. Akhenamkhanen speaks with Atem through his sacrophagus during his first battle with Bakura, and his instructions made Atem summon the Egyptian God Obelisk the Tormentor. His next appearance is in the village of Kul Elna, where his spirit protects Atem from the vengeful spirits of those who were slain in Kul Elna village. During the Ceremonial Battle, Akhenamkhanen is seen waiting for his son as he passes into the door between life and death along with the other guardians.
[edit] Akhenadin
Main article: Akhenaden.
[edit] Bobasa
Bobasa 「ボバサ」 is a comic relief Non-Player Character in the Dark RPG that Yami Yugi and Yami Bakura play in the Millennium World story arc. He is a key switch that can lead the player to where the Pharaoh's name is if the player gives him enough food to eat. In the manga, Bobasa is a member of an Egyptian cult that protects the Millennium Items. He has the Scales and the Key. Bobasa protects the items by placing them on his abnormally-shaped chest and locking his clothes. He then swallows the key, and is able to regurgitate the key at will. Also in the manga, he is actually Hassan, where they are different people in the anime.
[edit] Bonz, Sid, and Zygor
Main article: Bonz, Sid, and Zygor.
[edit] Cecelia Pegasus
Cecelia Pegasus, known as Cyndia (シンディア, Shindia) in the manga and Japanese anime, is Pegasus's lost love. Cyndia first met him at a party thrown by his businessman father in Las Vegas fourteen years ago. Cyndia and Pegasus were married and Pegasus, an artist at the time, constantly drew pictures of his love. However, Cyndia died of a disease (This is the first time someone actually dies in the English version), and this prompted Pegasus to search for a way to bring her back, ultimately culminating in his acquiring of the Millennium Eye from Shadi. Pegasus' feelings towards his beloved were eventually revealed to Yugi Muto and his friends after they found Pegasus' diary, which displayed his emotions.
A possible reason on why Cyndia's name was changed in the English anime is because "Cyndia Crawford" resembles "Cindy Crawford". ("Crawford" is also Pegasus' surname in the Japanese versions).
[edit] Croquet
Mr. Croquet, known in the Japanese version as Mr. Crocketts (Mr. クロケッツ, Kurokettsu), is the right-hand man of Pegasus. His duties includes relaying the progress of Pegasus' plans, often unknowingly stating the obvious to his boss (who, with the use of the Millennium Eye and keen intuition, usually predicts the outcome of a situation he's involved with before Croquet can inform him of it). At one point in the English anime translation, Pegasus punishes Croquet for his multiple failures by threatening to 'lock him away...again', which leaves one to speculate whether or not Croquet had also experienced his soul being trapped in a card by Pegasus, or if he was the victim of another form of confinement altogether.
Croquet reappears in Yu-Gi-Oh! R, though he "vanishes" after Yugi defeats Gekkou Tenma.

[edit] Gebelk
Gebelk 「ゲベルク」 is the keeper of the pharaoh's dungeons. Kaiba's butler is the reincarnation of Gebelk.
[edit] Hassan
Hassan (ハサン, Hasan) (from Arabic: حسن or حسان depending on pronunciation) is a mysterious ancient being and is the messenger of the Egyptian Pharaohs. He made a vow with Atem's father, Akhenamkhanen, to protect his son no matter what. His role in the Dark RPG is that of Dark Yugi's Master Item. In the manga it is revealed that he is really Bobasa.
[edit] Arthur Hawkins
Arthur Hawkins, known as Arthur Hopkins (アーサー・ホプキンス, Āsā Hopukinsu) in the Japanese anime, is the American best friend of Solomon Muto and the grandfather of Rebecca. His original Japanese name is kept in the English video games. In the manga, Professor Hopkins only appears in a photograph with Sugoroku Mutou, and his name is never revealed. Although he is briefly seen after Rebecca finishes her duel with Yugi, his major appearance is in the Waking the Dragons arc, where he investigated the history of Atlantis and of the Orichalcos. He gives information to Yugi concerning both of them and is instrumental in discovering the location of the lair of Dartz. He also appears during the Grand Championship arc.
[edit] Kemo
His first appearance is where he apprehends Mokuba Kaiba after his duel with Yugi and takes him to Pegasus despite the fact Yugi defeated the Mimic of Doom in a duel. He later confronted Kaiba as he entered the island with a gun to his head (which was edited out in the English anime) but Kaiba disarmed him with a card. He then forces Saruwatari to take him to where Mokuba's cell is and Saruwatari does so. He later acts as the guard at the entrance to Pegasus' castle and attempts to stop the group from entering since half of them are not duelists but Mai Valentine stops him.
His last appearance is during the group's first stay in the Virtual World, where he attempts to break into the room where their bodies are. Téa Gardner and Tristan Taylor put up a desperate defense to stop them using furniture to block the door. After everyone awoke after Yugi and Kaiba's "Dragon Master Knight" defeated the Big Five's "Five-Headed Dragon", Kemo fled in order to warn the Big Five members. It is likely that he was fired at that point as he is not seen in the series again.
There was also a flashback scene within the KC Grand Championship where a man whispered in Gozaburo Kaiba's ear. This man had a striking resemblance to Kemo and may have been him in the past.
[edit] Kisara
Kisara (キサラ) is a gentle, soft-spoken, and self-sacrificing young woman with pale skin, bluish-white hair, and blue eyes. She carries the spirit of the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" (referred to simply as the White Dragon) within her. She and Priest Seto share a deep bond. Akhenaden, after he pledged his loyalty to Zorc Necrophades, sealed the Blue-Eyes in a stone tablet, along with Kisara's spirit, only to have her use her dragon to destroy him and free Seto from his control later on. She then gave her power to him, making him the new keeper of the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", whilst her soul still remained in the Blue Eyes White Dragon to guide and protect him. In the anime, more screen time is given to Kisara and her relationship with Seto, therefore pressing deeper the implication of a romantic undertone. In the manga however, the two share a deep bond which is left heavily to speculation what the actual feelings were, but they seem to border on an implusive, close friendship.
She is voiced by Rie Nakagawa in the Japanese anime.

[edit] Panik
Panik, known as Player Killer of Darkness 「「闇」のプレイヤーキラー, Yami no Pureiā Kirā」 in the manga and Japanese anime, is a player eliminator hired by the Duelist Kingdom. He appears to be a rather brutal man and as Yugi Mutou and his group arrive, Mai Valentine has just been defeated by him. In order to salvage the situation and return Mai's Star Chips, Yami Yugi challenges Panik to a Duel. Upon losing, Panik then activates the flame ejectors that are in the ring, attempting to incinerate Yami Yugi. However, Yami Yugi is safe due to the power of the Millennium Puzzle and he inflicts a Mind Crush on Panik. In the English anime, Panik's soul is sent to the Shadow Realm.
In the Japanese version he is voiced by Holly Kaneko.
