“
The other personality that lives in your heart'...This is the central theme of Yu-Gi-Oh!. Perhaps the characters I draw are also personalities that exist inside me. Yūgi is in my heart. But also Jōnouchi and Kaiba...Pegasus and Mai...Ushio the bully, Insector Haga, Esper Roba...and the countless monsters! Just what kind of person am I?
