The Yu-Gi-Oh! series features an extensive cast of characters created
by Kazuki Takahashi. The series takes place in a fictional city in
Japan called Domino City, in which most of the characters that appear
in the series originate. Many plot elements are also influenced by
Egypt and Egyptian mythology, and as such, Egyptian characters also
appear within the story.The original manga of Yu-Gi-Oh! tells the tale
of Yugi Mutou, a timid young boy who loves all sorts of games, but is
often bullied around. One day, he solves an ancient artifact known as
the Millennium Puzzle, causing his body to play host to a mysterious
spirit with the personality of a gambler. From that moment onwards,
whenever Yugi or one of his friends is threatened by those with
darkness in their hearts, this "Dark Yugi" shows himself and
challenges them to dangerous "Shadow Games" which reveal the true
nature of someone's heart, the losers of these contests often being
subjected to a dark punishment called a "Penalty Game". As the series
progresses, Yugi and his friends (Katsuya Jonouchi, Anzu Mazaki,
Hiroto Honda, Miho Nosaka (in the 1998 series), and later Ryo Bakura)
learn that this other Yugi inside of his puzzle is actually the spirit
of a nameless Pharaoh from Egyptian times who had lost his memories.
As Yugi and his companions attempt to help the Pharaoh regain his
memories, they find themselves going through many trials as they wager
their lives facing off against others that wield the mysterious
Millennium Items and the dark power of the Shadow Games.The Japanese
names in Western order (given name before family name) and English
manga names are listed first and the English anime names are listed
second, when applicable.During the Millennium World story arc, Dark
Yugi journeys into his lost memories and meets old acquaintances from
Ancient Egypt as NPCs (non player characters) within Dark Bakura's
ultimate tabletop role-playing game, the Shadow RPG
(闇㠮Ｒ・Ｐ・Ｇ, Yami no Ā Pī Jī), a campaign based on the
past.
