He makes appearances in V Jump and some video games.
Design[]
Name[]
The name "Umiuma" appears to be a direct reference to the name "Kaiba". In Japanese, both names are spelled 海馬, but they use different readings of the same characters (the on'yomi and kun'yomi, respectively).
| Kanji | On'yomi | Kun'yomi | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 海 | カイ (kai) | うみ (umi) | sea, ocean |
| 馬 | バ (ba) | うま (uma) | horse |
The words "umiuma" and "kaiba" can both be used to mean "seahorse" (or, by extension, "hippocampus").[2] It is not clear if the title "Kaiser" was chosen in reference to Kaiser Sea Horse, a card which was used by both Seto Kaiba and Kaibaman.
