Yugi Moto)
Yugi Mutou (武藤 遊戯 Mutō Yūgi), or Yugi Moto in the English anime, is is the protagonist of the anime and manga Yu-Gi-Oh!, featured at least partially in every volume of the manga and episode of the anime. His surname in the English manga is sometimes romanized as Mutoh, but is almost always Mutou.
He was given the Millennium Puzzle in pieces by his grandfather, Sugoroku Mutou (Solomon Moto). When he assembles it in the first episodes of the anime and manga, he is infused with the spirit of a 3,000-year-old Egyptian Pharaoh. The pharaoh, who later discovers his name to be Atem/Atemu, was sealed in the puzzle to lock in the magic of the shadow game to prevent the destruction of the world.
There are two chambers in Yugi's mind. One belongs to the innocent kid, and the other to a darker, older presence, Dark Yugi (Yami no Yūgi) or Yami Yugi from the Millennium Puzzle. When under stress or when playing a game, the spirit inside the Millennium Puzzle takes over and is either partially or completely possessed by the 3,000 year old nameless pharaoh (namonaki pharaoh).
Because there is often frequent interaction between the two parts, Yugi actually refers to both the school kid and the ancient Pharaoh. However, between themselves, Yugi refers to the Pharaoh as "the other me" (mō hitori no boku) or in the English anime, "Yami", and Dark Yugi refers to his younger counterpart as simply aibō ("partner") or by his name. Other people call Dark Yugi "the other Yugi" (mō hitori no Yūgi). If one Yugi dies, the other Yugi dies with him.
A not-so-average school kid, Yugi is pure-hearted and kind. He lives with his mother while his father is away on business. Yugi is good at games and puzzles (yūgi meaning "game" in Japanese), and especially Duel Monsters (Magic and Wizards). His favourite monster is the Black Magician (Dark Magician in the English version), but he thinks that he is most like Maha Vailo. Yugi is part of a group of very good friends, who are Katsuya Jonouchi (Joey Wheeler), Hiroto Honda (Tristan Taylor), and Anzu Mazaki (Téa Gardner). They often cheer Yugi from the sidelines, and Jonouchi has dueled with Yugi as part of a tag team. Anzu is in love with Dark Yugi, but not the regular Yugi. The first characters from "Yūgi" and "Jōnouchi" form the word "Yūjō", which means "friend" or "fellowship". In the original Japanese, the "Yu-Jyo" card (The "Friendship" card in English) is named after the word and the relationship between the characters.
