Yami Yugi

Pharaoh Atem, also known as Yami Yugi,"Yami" is the romanization of the kanji for "dark" (闇), as Yami's name in Japanese is "Dark Yugi". Because of this, he's commonly referred to as "Yami Yugi" or simply "Yami" in the English versions of Yu-Gi-Oh! media. is one of the main protagonists of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series. He will appear in an upcoming episode of Death Battle, Ash VS Yugi, where he and Yugi Muto will fight against Ash Ketchum and Pikachu from the Pokémon series.
==History==
Atem was born 3,000 years ago in ancient Egypt, where he was the heir to the position of Pharaoh succeeding his father, King Aknamkanon. Eventually, he befriended Mahad and Mana, who would go on to become his closest allies and respectively reincarnate into the Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl. After a fateful encounter with Zorc Necrophades, Atem would seal the progenitor of darkness away at the cost of his memories and his spirit being sealed within the Millennium Puzzle. After laying dormant for 3,000 years, the puzzle would be uncovered by Solomon Muto, who brought it to his game shop and later gifted it to his grandson, Yugi Muto.
Spending the next eight years trying to solve the puzzle, Yugi would eventually piece it back together and, upon its completion, inadvertently allowed Atem to become one with him by inhabiting his body while his spirit dwelled within the puzzle. With no memories of his former time as pharaoh, Atem would take the name "Yami Yugi" and become Yugi's closest ally, assisting him whenever he was needed and working together to solve the secrets of his past. Upon regaining his memories and seeing how far Yugi has come on his own, Atem would depart to the afterlife, reuniting with his old allies of Egypt and leaving the rest of Yugi's journey to him.
