'''Ishizu Ishtar (イシズ・イシュタール; ''Ishizu Ishutaaru'')'''
--> Voiced by: Creator/SumiShimamoto (JP), Karen Neil (EN)
Marik's older sister and Rishid's adoptive sister, she's the owner of the Millennium Tauk, which allows the user to see into the past and future. Ishizu works for the Egyptian government agency, the Supreme Council of Antiquities - presumably to the public, she traveled to Japan's Domino City to oversee the dynastic exhibit, The Art of Egypt, which showcased stone slabs, depicting ka battles, from which the card game ''Magic & Wizards''/''Duel Monsters'' originated. She invited Seto Kaiba to the Domino City Museum to show him the slabs that also depicted the nameless king, who resembled Yugi. She told Kaiba about the three God Cards and tasked him with retrieving them from the Ghouls, through hosting a city-wide ''Duel Monsters'' tournament. To bait the Ghouls into coming, she gave him one of the God cards - "The God of the Obelisk."
With the Millennium Tauk, Ishizu had already predicted Yugi would visit the museum. When Dark Yugi arrived, along with Anzu Mazaki, and saw the slabs depicting the ancient ka battles and also of the pharaoh, she approached him. She told him that a large battle would soon be taking place, and that he must gather the seven Millennium Items to regain his memories.
In the ''Duel Monsters'' card game, she uses a Sand Fairy (Fairy monsters with an Egyptian theme) deck, along with cards that cycle her opponent's cards into the graveyard and her cards into her deck. Her trump card is Reversal of Worlds (Exchange of the Spirit).
----
* AbusiveParents: Her father didn't treat her or her brothers particularly well, and cared more for his duty of guarding the Millennium Items than any of them.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In ''VideoGame/YuGiOhTheDuelistsOfTheRoses'', she's on the side of the Yorkists.
* AlliterativeName: ''I''shizu ''I''shtar.
* BecauseDestinySaysSo: She was so obsessed with following her visions that she threw away a quicker victory against Seto just to achieve the victory she saw. Which fails when Seto manages to defy her visions and defeat her.

* CombatClairvoyance: Sees into the future to predict her opponent's moves.
* DishingOutDirt[=/=]LightEmUp: She uses Earth-attribute Fairy monsters with a distinct Egyptian design flavor.
* DoNotAdjustYourSet: How she gets Kaiba's attention at the start of the second series anime adaptation.
* {{Foil}}: To Kaiba. They both had abusive fathers (biological in her case, adoptive in Kaiba's), have younger siblings they are protective of, and are part of organizing the Battle City tournament. However, Ishizu looks to the past and believes in destiny through her visions from the Millennium Tauk, where Kaiba looks to the future while being more focused on modern-day technology and, in the English 4Kids dub, is a skeptic about the ancient Egyptian magic going on. This is especially highlighted during their duel in the quarter-finals.
* GracefulLoser: In spite of the fact that it means she's out of the running of confront Marik herself, she takes her defeat to Kaiba rather well. In fact, it brings her hope that the future can be changed and that either Yugi, Jonouchi, or Kaiba can save her brother.
* {{Herald}}: In Battle City.
* JapanesePronouns: Uses "watakushi".
* LadyOfWar: Yeah, she plays a card game instead of leading an army, but she's definitely got this vibe. She's quiet, feminine, and came ''this'' close to kicking Seto Kaiba's arrogant ass.
* [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]]: In her duel with Kaiba, she manipulates every move he makes, even allowing herself to take damage from him, in preparation to flip his strategy back on him. Lampshaded by Dark Marik in the anime, who snickers that it's fun to watch her work Kaiba over after she did it to normal Marik so often when they were children.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: She had the chance to win against Kaiba, but didn't take it because it wasn't the specific victory she foresaw. Trying to get the win conditions she saw in her vision was what led Kaiba to be able to defeat her.

Throughout the series, he is an emotionless person who only seems to be interested in gathering the Millennium Items.
-----
* AdaptationalHeroism: In the second anime, he's a little more noble than his other portrayals. He doesn't brainwash people like in the other versions, manages to save Honda and Otogi's lives at one point during Battle City, and in the final arc he gets the role Bobassa originally served in the manga, HeroicSacrifice included (though Bobassa reveals himself to, in fact, be Shadi in disguise in the manga).
* TheCameo: He gets one in ''VideoGame/YuGiOhReshefOfDestruction''.
* ChekhovsGunman: In the second anime series only, where he doesn't make an appearance until the end of Duelist Kingdom. Until then, he's just a figure from one of Pegasus' paintings. In the manga, the cast recognizes him from the painting as they have met him before.
* TheChessmaster: Hasan in the Pharaoh's Memory being revealed as Shadi might have been because of Shadi himself interfering with the Shadow RPG to save the Pharaoh. He also seemed to work behind the scenes to get the Pharaoh to the afterlife and destroy the Millennium Items. See TheUnfettered below.
* CompositeCharacter: An odd variation in the Millennium World story, as in the anime version he also serves Bobassa's role, though Bobassa himself still appears, albeit with a drastically different personality than his manga counterpart. It's revealed during his heroic sacrifice that the Manga Bobassa is Shadi in disguise.
* DeadAllAlong: Possibly.
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: His eyes always look like this.
* EarlyBirdCameo: In the second anime series only, his portrait is briefly shown for the first time in episode 8 of the anime, and once again in episode 28. He finally makes his debut in episode 40.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Seeing the power of friendship in action practically blows his mind.
* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: He did this a few times with his Millennium Key, entering the "Soul Room" of the person of his choice. He's also capable of remodeling said rooms, thus altering that person's personality, up to making them into his puppet.
* MindScrew: Shadi has the reputation for being the most confusing character in the entire franchise thanks to his enigmatic nature and for having four identities associated with him ([[spoiler:Child Shadi, Adult Shadi, Hassan and Bobassa]]).
* OlderAlterEgo: He appears to be capable of this - when Yugi meets him, he appears as an adult man. When Pegasus meets him in Egypt in the manga, he appears as a young boy.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Possibly of priest Shada. Well, at least the names are similar.
**He is actually not Priest Shada. He is a being that pledged loyalty to Pharaoh Akhenamkhanen and swore to protect his son, the next Pharaoh Atem, with his life.
* StealthHiBye
* TheUnfettered: He commits himself to his mission of assembling the Millennium Items. He kills Kanekura and the man who intended to buy the Millennium Puzzle, temporarily brainwashes Yoshimori and Anzu in order to get Dark Yugi out from the Millennium Puzzle and somewhat manipulates Pegasus.

--> Voiced by: Creator/KanetoShiozawa (Japanese Toei anime), Creator/NozomuSasaki (Duel Monsters), Creator/WayneGrayson (English)
A mysterious man from Egypt, Shadi was the guardian of ancient Egyptian tombs and the modern day holder of the Millennium Ankh/Key and Scales. He uses the Ankh to enter a person's soul rooms and redecorate their rooms to control the individual to his liking, and uses the Scales to measure a person's sins via a Weighing of the Soul Shadow Game and punish them as he sees fit. He first makes his appearance in the manga after Yugi's Millennium Puzzle is taken away by Kanekura and acts as the BigBad of the Trial of the Mind arc where he poses a series of Shadow Games onto Yugi as a test. Throughout the series, he is an emotionless person who only seems to be interested in gathering the Millennium Items.
-----
* AdaptationalHeroism: In the second anime, he's a little more noble than his other portrayals. He doesn't brainwash people like in the other versions, manages to save Honda and Otogi's lives at one point during Battle City, and in the final arc he gets the role Bobassa originally served in the manga, HeroicSacrifice included (though Bobassa reveals himself to, in fact, be Shadi in disguise in the manga).
* TheCameo: He gets one in ''VideoGame/YuGiOhReshefOfDestruction''.
* ChekhovsGunman: In the second anime series only, where he doesn't make an appearance until the end of Duelist Kingdom. Until then, he's just a figure from one of Pegasus' paintings. In the manga, the cast recognizes him from the painting as they have met him before.
* TheChessmaster: Hasan in the Pharaoh's Memory being revealed as Shadi might have been because of Shadi himself interfering with the Shadow RPG to save the Pharaoh. He also seemed to work behind the scenes to get the Pharaoh to the afterlife and destroy the Millennium Items. See TheUnfettered below.
* CompositeCharacter: An odd variation in the Millennium World story, as in the anime version he also serves Bobassa's role, though Bobassa himself still appears, albeit with a drastically different personality than his manga counterpart. It's revealed during his heroic sacrifice that the Manga Bobassa is Shadi in disguise.
* DeadAllAlong: Possibly.
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: His eyes always look like this.
* EarlyBirdCameo: In the second anime series only, his portrait is briefly shown for the first time in episode 8 of the anime, and once again in episode 28. He finally makes his debut in episode 40.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Seeing the power of friendship in action practically blows his mind.
* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: He did this a few times with his Millennium Key, entering the "Soul Room" of the person of his choice. He's also capable of remodeling said rooms, thus altering that person's personality, up to making them into his puppet.
* MindScrew: Shadi has the reputation for being the most confusing character in the entire franchise thanks to his enigmatic nature and for having four identities associated with him ([[spoiler:Child Shadi, Adult Shadi, Hassan and Bobassa]]).
* OlderAlterEgo: He appears to be capable of this - when Yugi meets him, he appears as an adult man. When Pegasus meets him in Egypt in the manga, he appears as a young boy.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Possibly of priest Shada. Well, at least the names are similar.
**He is actually not Priest Shada. He is a being that pledged loyalty to Pharaoh Akhenamkhanen and swore to protect his son, the next Pharaoh Atem, with his life.
* StealthHiBye
* TheUnfettered: He commits himself to his mission of assembling the Millennium Items. He kills Kanekura and the man who intended to buy the Millennium Puzzle, temporarily brainwashes Yoshimori and Anzu in order to get Dark Yugi out from the Millennium Puzzle and somewhat manipulates Pegasus.

'''Rebecca Hopkins (レベッカ・ホプキンス; ''rebekka hopukinsu'') ([[DubNameChange Rebecca Hawkins]])'''
--> Voiced by: Kaori Tagami (JP), Kerry Williams (EN)
An anime-only character. The granddaughter of the famous Egyptologist, Dr. Arthur Hopkins/Hawkins. She first appears seeking vengeance on the behalf of her grandfather by beating his old friend, Solomon Mutou, and taking his Blue Eyes White Dragon card and returning it to her grandfather. After her grandfather finds her and teaches her a valuable lesson about friendship, she quickly befriends Yugi and Solomon. During Season 4, she returns and becomes a member of Yugi's TrueCompanions and accompanies him on his travels.
Her first deck concentrates on supporting Shadow Ghoul. Afterwards, she uses a dragon deck mixed with a Fire Princess Gain/Drain strategy. This deck's trump card is Diamond Head Dragon.
-----
!!! Season 1
* BetweenMyLegs: The shot used for her introduction.
* BrattyHalfPint: Boy was she ever, she practically demands Solomon just hand over the card as soon as she meets him and refused to listen to reason till her grandfather set her straight.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Her "Shadow Ghoul Deck".
* DeliberatelyCuteChild
* ForeignCussWord: She swears a ''lot'' in the Japanese anime.
* GirlishPigtails
* ILetYouWin: How her duel with Yugi ended. Yugi forfeited the match when he actually had a card that would've won him the duel. But did so in order to teach her to respect her cards.
* {{Jerkass}}: She gets better at the end, though.
* {{Misblamed}}: In-Universe. Thought Solomon stole the Blue Eyes White Dragon Card from her grandfather. Turns out she didn't get the full story.
* ObfuscatingStupidity
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: How she views her monsters in her Shadow Ghoul deck. [[WhatTheHellHero Yugi calls her out on it.]]
-----
!!! Season 4/5
* [[ChildProdigy Child Genius]]: She's a twelve year old college student.
** InsufferableGenius: At times.
* DubInducedPlotHole: 4Kids lowered her age from twelve to eight, which became a bit of a problem when she returned in season 4. Amusingly, they would later make the same mistake with her {{Expy}}, [[Anime/YuGiOhGX Rei/Blair]].
* LittleMissBadass: Is quite the ActionGirl.
* {{Meganekko}}
* OddFriendship: With Anzu, who is also her (sort of) rival in love, but they still act like an older/younger sister pair.
* PlayfulHacker
* PrecociousCrush: She has one on Yugi, [[ShipTease which is a constant source of irritation for Anzu.]]
* SelfProclaimedLoveInterest: She claims that Yugi is her boyfriend.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: Well, not really, but she likes to act it (example: she ditched "Teddy".)
* ShipTease: As noted above, she has a crush on Yugi. She is also the only character in the entire series to kiss anyone, giving Yugi a goodbye kiss before leaving the second time.
** Plus, she's devastated when she hears of Yugi's soul being captured and determined to avenge him when Valon shows up, a huge step up from Tea just being shocked in a normal way.
* [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]]
* TookALevelInKindness: Now is comfortable hanging with Yugi's friends and has mellowed out quite a bit.
* UnexpectedCharacter: No one thought she'd show up again after her introduction but sure enough come the Doma arc...
* YouthfulFreckles
* ZettaiRyouiki
