'''Koji "the Spider" Nagumo''', known as '''Stringer''' in the English [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters (video game)|Dungeon Dice Monsters video game]], is a student in [[Domino High]] School.
+
==Personality==
 +
Nagumo is a gamer with interest in a variety of games, ranging from [[Monster Fighter]] to [[Duel Monsters]]. He engages in games to make money and often focuses on the potential resale value of desirable collectibles, including ''[[Monster Fighter]]'' figures and "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (anime)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]". Nagumo is a bully, relying on his physical strength to win games when he is in danger of losing, and using his hobbies to lure in potential victims to extort with his strength.

====Battle City====
In the manga, Nagumo asks [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] to play [[Monster Fighter]] with him while at Domino High School. While playing, Nagumo hits Yugi and takes his gun and monster, [[Alti]].
+
Nagumo was unhappy with the card he has won through the [[Ante Duel|ante rule]] after one of his Duels. He demanded that his opponent also give him his second rarest card.
 
 
Nagumo tries selling Alti and other Monster Fighter figures and guns he's collected for ¥30,000 each (about $278 US at the time). [[Yami Yugi|Dark Yugi]] comes into his store and fights Nagumo and his [[Wild Spider]] with [[Joey Wheeler|Katsuya Jonouchi's]] monster, [[Killer Emaada]]. As the game was a [[Shadow Game]], Nagumo's face was cracked in the first set, which went to Yugi; the Shadow Game dictated that the players, instead of the monsters, get damaged in the game. In the second set, Nagumo cheats by kicking Yugi in the side. Enraged, Dark Yugi raised the shadow mode to level three. When Nagumo tries to cheat again, his legs are held down by all of the monsters, including his own. Nagumo's soul is purged of the darkness.

[[File:Koji.jpg|thumb|left|180px|Koji in the anime]]
 
Nagumo makes a brief appearance during the [[Battle City]] of the manga and the second series anime. After defeating a duelist, he is unhappy with the card he's won through the [[Ante Duel|ante rule]] and demands that the loser give something of equal value to his card, "[[Hyozanryu]]" or else ¥100,000 (about $900 US at the time). (In the English version he demands the two rarest cards in the duelist's deck.)
 
  
However [[Mokuba Kaiba|Mokuba]] appears and calls a foul. Koji insults Mokuba (calling him "Junior" in the English version), but then [[Seto Kaiba]] appears. Seto appears and tells Koji off, saying that when when Koji speaks rudely to Mokuba, he dishonors Kaiba and the Battle City tournament, and also adds that he has "no patience for bullies". Kaiba then challenges him to a Duel with a briefcase of rare cards and "[[Obelisk the Tormentor]]". He allows Koji to use the cards from the briefcase in the Duel, but says he'll take them after he beats Koji. Kaiba easily defeats Koji with "Obelisk" and takes his [[Locator Card]]s.
