Tristan Taylor

Hiroto Honda (本田 ヒロト Honda Hiroto?), known in the English anime and most of the English video games as Tristan Taylor, is a fictional character in the manga and anime series Yu-Gi-Oh!. Hiroto Honda, who is in class 1-B at Domino High School, is a boy who became a friend of Yugi Mutou, Katsuya Jonouchi (Joey Wheeler in the English anime), and Anzu Mazaki (Téa Gardner in the English anime). In the first series anime, Miho Nosaka is also one of Honda's friends. Honda plays few of the games that Yugi plays, and does not play Magic and Wizards (also known as Duel Monsters) that often (In the Duel Monsters anime, he duels in the episode in the Noah Kaiba arc against the fourth member of the Big 5, Nezbitt (Soichiro Ota)). In the manga, Honda starts out as Jonouchi's street thug henchman. Eventually Honda is no longer important to the story. In the manga, Honda at first has a crush on Miho Nosaka but she rejects him. Honda develops a crush on Jonouchi's sister, Shizuka Kawai ( Serenity Wheeler in the English anime), and in the second series anime he fights with Ryuji Otogi ( Duke Devlin in the English anime) over her. In the manga, Honda also owns a female dog named Blankey and has a nephew named Johji. Honda is also a sharpshooter; Honda says in the manga that when he was a kid, he could shoot a 100-yen piece with a BB gun from 50 feet. In the first series anime, Honda is the head of the clean-up committee at school and often cites his duty while doing things, which causes him to annoy his friends. In the manga, Honda gets a crush over Miho, who is a minor character in the manga; Miho rejects him. In the first anime series, Honda's crush on Miho spans the series, but Miho is seen having a crush on Ryo Bakura. In the first anime series, Honda is Jonouchi's verbal sparring partner instead of his partner, and he is head of the beautification commitee at his school, which he dramatically brags about often. Honda recalls that their friendship started after they participated in a relay race. In the Duel Monsters anime, Honda and Anzu are more or less cheerleaders for Yugi and Jonouchi. His crush for Shizuka was carried over to the Duel Monsters anime. In the original Japanese version of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Honda tends to omit honorifics just like his friend Jonouchi does.
