Pharoah Atem

Pharaoh Atem is the central protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, famously known as the "Nameless Pharaoh" or Yami Yugi after his spirit was sealed for 3,000 years (5,000 in the English dub) within the Millennium Puzzle. Atem's physical form is nearly identical to Yugi Muto, though he is slightly taller and possesses a more defined, mature physique. His iconic tri-colored hair consists of black base spikes with magenta-red edges and jagged blonde bangs. He has sharp, violet eyes that often glow when he is exerting his power. In ancient Egypt, he wears his traditional Pharaoh Attire, featuring A cream-colored Shendyt-like kilt/tunic that covers his torso and forms a pleated kilt over his thighs. A royal blue fabric panel lined with white geometric trim that hangs straight down from his waist center held with a gold belt. And a flowing blackish blue or purple cape draped over his shoulders, and white flat shoes. He is heavily adorned with gold accessories such as gold earrings, neck piece, wrists cuffs, armlets, anklets, his crown, and the Millennium Puzzle alongside his silver cartouche with his name carved on it. Atem is characterized as the "King of Games" in the modern life with a fierce, strategic mind and an unyielding sense of justice. Early in the series, he was a darker entity known as Dark Yugi, who dealt poetic justice through brutal Penalty Games and Shadow Games. Through his bond with Yugi, he develops compassion and kindness, eventually prioritizing the safety of his friends over victory. He is a master duelist and gamer, possessing "High Universe level" potential when summoning powerful spirits like Horakhty the Creator God of Light. He is the son of King Aknamkanon and the cousin of Priest Seto (past life of Seto Kaiba). He sacrificed his life and memories to seal the dark god Zorc Necrophades away, leading to his name being erased from history until the modern era. He's childhood friends with a girl named Mana and one of the priests known as Mahad.
