He founded the school alongside Yugi but gave Yugi more of the credit due to Yugi's strong sense of needing to open up the school. Joey tries to be the cool guy who always knows what he is talking about, yet his mistakes and constant misjudgments land him in the same goof rank as Naruto. That would explain why the two get along so well. Once Joey became the runner up in dueling, he began to date Mai once he got the guts to ask her out. They have been together for over two years now.

He was hired by Yugi to be the lab technician and is usually found in the super computer lab down below the third level of the school.
Mai Valentine
Age: 22
Rank: Performer
Bio: Mai is what you would consider an every man's dream girl. Mai is a total flirt with attitude. She became a dueling performer known as Madam butterfly (you can only imagine where she came up with that persona)...

While Mai has always been a jealous type, she couldn't help but become a bit more intimidated when Kira moved into the school.

However, Kaiba's soft side comes out when it comes to his little brother. If only it would say out more often.
By now, I'm sure you are familiar with all that is happening just by reading the bio's of all of the main characters. If not, I'll summarize in detail for you.
Yugi and Joey opened up a school for duelists and then one day Yugi decided he wanted to open a wing for shinobi studies. In this story, Shinobi's are the law enforcers, military etc. The story is set in Domino city, a part of the vast land of developed and industrialized Konoha. Lady Tsunade is high ruler (Hokage) of the territory. Yugi heard of Naruto and his team through Lady Tsunade when he went to her for help in funding the schools new wing. Once he contacted them, they agreed to move in and become the instructors for the wing. The school is an entire mansion of about three stories large. So when the students are gone, it is their home.
I hope you enjoy this series!
