Bashford, known as Tetsuzo Kuzuyama in the Japanese version, is a hermit character in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, living in Satellite.
Having once lived happily with his wife and Adam, his son, Bashford became obsessed with his work, prompting a separation. Afterwards he became socially withdrawn and developed compulsive hoarding.
Biography
Bashford had a strong relationship with Adam, who he would often duel and gave him his "Kid Junk" card
Due to his obsession with his work, his wife left him and took custody of Kouki. Bashford became a hermit afterwards. He allowed the amount of scrap-iron in the garden to go out of control and did not see his wife or son after their seperation. He built an old-fashioned Duel Arena in the hopes that Kouki would return to duel him.
Martha and Schmitt become concerned over Bashford's safety, as he is living alone amongst unstable piles of scrap metal. Unable to convince him to move into Martha's place, they send Crow to speak with him.
After Crow, Yusei, Jack and Blister arrive outside Bashford's property, he attempts to shoo them away. Crow tries to forcefully enter his house, but Bashford fends him away with a series of traps (one of those traps looks like "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow") and a holographic "Two-Headed King Rex" from the Dueling Arena.
Crow challenges him to a Duel in the arena. If Bashford wins, Crow will leave and if Crow wins, Bashford will come with them to Martha's. Bashford reluctantly accepts. He uses a scrap metal family themed Deck, but doesn't play the child card, as he had given it to Goki. This causes his defeat. The shockwaves from the Duel causes the mountains of junk to fall over, destroying his house. Crow manages to save Bashford, by pulling him into a cabinet to shield them both.
Before the house collapses, Yusei manages to retrieve a picture of Bashford and his family. Tetsuzo tells them of how he lost contact with his son. Yusei, Jack, Blister and Crow tell that they are his sons and convince him to come to Martha's where he will have plenty of grandchildren.
Bashford moves in to Martha's, where he makes a Stardust Dragon statue out of scrap metal in front of the house. He asks Crow to give him a shoulder massage as his new son.

Bashford's uses a Scrap-Iron Family Deck that revolves the use of seemingly unique cards with the word "Junk" in their name. This, in combination with the Field Spell "Junk Factory", which besides powering them up, also makes monsters return to the owner's Deck instead of being sent to the Graveyard when they are destroyed. Additionally, his traps, much like "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow" are capable of being reused each turn, having the ability to set themselves face-down instead of going to the Graveyard.
