Bakura Ryou

Ryo Bakura (Bakura in the English Anime), is a side character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! magna and anime series.

Bakura is a friend of Yugi Mutou (Yugi Muto in the English Anime), a duel monster duelist and owner of one of the Mellenium Items, the Mellenium Ring. Bakura's unamed father purchased the item whilst on a trip in Eygpt, after being told that it was related to the Duel Monsters card game, which he knew his son had an interest in.

The Mellenium Ring, contains the evil spirit of a powerful thief, Dark Bakura (Yami Bakura or Spirit of the Ring in the English Anime). The two never directly converse, and host Bakura refers to Dark Bakura only as a "voice".

In the original Japanese version of Yu-Gi-Oh!, has an polite speaking matter using many honourifics. The darker half however, uses none. Reflecting this, Bakura in the English Anime, posseses a British accent.
