King Yugi, The Dark Yugi, or Yami Yugi

It's a pun.

First, there is Yugi(遊戯), the main character of comics/animation/video game. The name can also mean games or play.

Then there is Yami no Yugi, Yugi's alter ego, who happens to be an ancient Egyptian king. Yami no Yugi(闇の遊戯) means games of darkness. Since this is a character's name, you can call it King Yugi, The Dark Yugi, or simply Yami Yugi; different sites call him different names.

News! I asked two ten-year-old boys who collect Yugi-oh! cards, and they said the alter ego of Yugi is ¥"Yugi the Egyptian Pharaoh¥".
