Yugi has been friends with Téa since childhood and has a romantic crush on her. Yugi's friends often cheer him on from the sidelines, and Joey has dueled at his side. Yugi is part of a close-knit group of best friends: Joey Wheeler, Tristan Taylor, Téa Gardner and Bakura Ryou. He lives with his paternal grandfather, Solomon Muto, and his mother. Yugi was initially unaware of his existence and control of Yugi's body, and would involuntarily shift to Yami Yugi at trying times. Yugi possessed the three thousand-year-old (five thousand in the dub) mystical Millennium Puzzle, which allowed his body to bear host to the spirit of the Puzzle, Yami Yugi. Together with the spirit of Pharaoh Atem, he holds the title "King of Games" (King of Duelists in Japanese version). It was stated once that Yugi is the modern day version of Pharaoh Atem. Yugi Muto ( 武 ( む ) 藤 ( とう ) 遊 ( ゆう ) 戯 ( ぎ ) Mutō Yūgi), also romanized as Yugi Mutou, is the main protagonist of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series, along with Yami Yugi.
