Kaiba is based on a collectable collectible card games player, whom a friend of [[Kazuki Takahashi]] met. Takahashi's friend asked this person to teach him how to play a card game, but he replied "Hmp! Come back when you've collected 10,000 cards". The story made Takahashi mad, but thought the player would make a good character.<ref>''Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist'' Volume 10: [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist - Volume 010|The Egyptian God Cards]]: foreword</ref>
In the original Japanese version of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Kaiba omits honorifics and has a "rude" pattern of speech. Kaiba uses the word "''ore''" to mean "I" instead of the usual ''boku''; ''ore'' is a boastful way to say "I" in Japanese. Kaiba usually calls Katsuya Jonouchi (Joey Wheeler) names, such as "''bonkotsu''" (mediocre), "''make-inu''" (pathetic dog, loser), and "''zako''" (small fry, weakling). This name calling was carried over to the English anime.
