'''Chojiro Tokumatsu''' is a character in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'' anime. A former Professional [[Duelist]] who fell from grace, he is the "bossKingpin" of the [[Facility (ARC-V)|Facility]] in the [[Synchro Dimension]], even higher in authority than the local guards.<ref name="ep60" /> Formerly a bitter man from losing to the [[Tops (ARC-V)|TopsTopsiders]] and being jailed for cheating, after Dueling [[Yuya Sakaki]] and being inspired by his [[Dueltainer]] philosophy, he returned to the joyful person he once was. He is also one of the few Synchro allies of the [[Lancers ]] who aids them during the [[Obelisk Force ]] attack and believes in [[Duel Academy(ARC-V)|Duel Academy]]'s threat.

[[File:FullChojiroTokumatsu.png|thumb|left|150px|Full -body view of Chojiro.]]Chojiro is an old man, but retains impressive strength and agility for his age. His jaw is large and unshaven, and his hair is shorter than his facial hair. He dresses simply, wearing an olive-green threadbare robe and brown sandals. However, while he was in prison, he was barefoot. This traditional attire is further emphasized by both the theme of both his Deck and the interior of his [[Facility (ARC-V)|Facility]] cell.

=== Personality ===Chojiro is an honorable and entertaining [[Duelist]], having pride in enticing his audience with his signature [[Destiny Draw a card|miracle draws]]. As such, he strongly encourages his audience and even his opponent to enjoy their Duels, regardless of winning or losing.

After losing to the [[Tops (ARC-V)|TopsTopsiders]] Duelists and by becoming the boss Kingpin of the [[Facility (ARC-V)|Facility]], Chojiro's outlook was changed to one that valued power and status above all, even stated that cards were the sign of those on top. It was only until his Duel with Yuya helped to revive his passion for enjoying Duels. After this, he started spreading his message once more and felt regret at the idea of defeating [[Zuzu Boyle]] and sending her underground, becoming a caring individual again.

Chojiro was a [[Duelist]] who sought to bridge the gaps between the [[Tops (ARC-V)|TopsTopsiders]] and the [[Commons (ARC-V)|Commons]]. He trained young children and broke up fights, encouraging the local population to enjoy their Dueling. He decided to challenge Tops Topsiders Duelists to Duels, but the stronger cards that they could afford allowed them to defeat Chojiro. The cheers he was used to become boos, driving him to attempt to cheat rather than relying on his famed "miracle draw".<ref name="ep61" /> He was subsequently imprisoned in the [[Facility (ARC-V)|Facility]] ten years before the start of the series.<ref name="ep60" />

While eating an exquisite breakfast one morning, Chojiro took notice of [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]], [[Sylvio Sawatari|Sylvio]], [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|Crow]], [[Shinji Weber|Shinji]], [[Gong Strong|Gong]] and [[Dennis MacfieldMcField|Dennis]]. Later, he had the Sector Security guard bring them to him, and Chojiro's lackeys demanded that Yuya and his friends hand over their cards to him in exchange for good treatment. They refused, and Chojiro showed them the bed-sized stack of cards that he'd claimed over ten years in undefeated Dueling. Disappointed that Yuya wasn't listening to reason, he had the guard bring them [[Duel Disk]]s and challenged Yuya to a Duel. Performing a long combo, Chojiro brought out "[[Flower Cardian Lightshower (anime)|Flower Cardian Lightshower]]" on his first [[turn]]. He was surprised when Yuya performed a [[Pendulum Summon]], wondering if Dueling had advanced to this point in the ten years that he'd been imprisoned, and used "[[Ikasma Gohatto Fraud Freeze (anime)|Ikasma GohattoFraud Freeze]]" to return the Summoned monsters back to Yuya's [[hand]].<ref name="ep60" /> Yuya played defensively with [[Set]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] as Chojiro skipped his [[Draw Phase]] to continue to inflict [[effect damage|damage]]. When Crow and Shinji observed the change in Chojiro's strategy from the past, Chojiro explained how his outlook had changed. Yuya was able to set up an infinite loop that Chojiro couldn't break with his current [[field]], forcing Chojiro to draw. Chojiro felt himself enjoying the Duel for the first time in years and brought out "[[Flower Cardian - Inoshikacho Boardefly (anime)|Flower Cardian - InoshikachoBoardefly]]" and reduced Yuya to 200 [[LP]], breaking his loop. With the crowd cheering them on, Yuya was able to break Chojiro's combo and Pendulum Summon the next turn, destroying Chojiro's monsters and winning the Duel. Chojiro remained happy that he'd enjoyed the Duel.<ref name="ep61" />

Chojiro later approached Yuya to organize an Entertainment Duel Tournament. Yuya agreed to join after Shinji convinced him, and Sylvio joined as well. Silvio Sylvio made the Duel an [[Action Duel]], where [[Action Card|Action]] [[Spell Card]]s were scattered around. Chojiro happily engaged in the Duel and entertained the crowd with his Enjoy Chojiro persona, though Yuya remained unwilling to participate initially. The Duel was plunged into chaos when the Facility guards discovered that Crow, Shinji, and new inmate [[Damon Lopez]] were escaping through the air vents. Chojiro was furious to learn that Yuya was using the Duel to mask an escape attempt, but forgave him after Yuya revealed that he was trying to rescue his friend, [[Zuzu Boyle]]. Chojiro attempted to hold the guards off and buy time for Yuya to escape, but his lackies lackys distracted the guards instead with a shower of rare cards so that Chojiro could escape as well.<ref name="ep62">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|62|ref}}</ref> Silvio Sylvio led them to the roof, where they were challenged by the [[Arrest CorpsStomptroopers]]. Chojiro expressed little patience for SilvioSylvio's antics during the chase, though the group were eventually saved by [[Shay Obsidian|Shay]], one of their allies. They attempted to swim from the Facility Island, but were recaptured by [[Jean-Michel RogerRoget]]. Fortunately, the [[Executive High Council]] intervened on behalf of [[Declan Akaba]], the leader of the [[Lancers]]. To Chojiro's surprise, his arrest had caused considerable rife among the Commons ten years previously, causing the development of the [[Friendship Cup]]. The Lancers and the escaped prisoners were entered into the Friendship Cup.<ref name="ep63">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|63|ref}}</ref>

Chojiro heard the Commons servants mocking the contestants outside his room, and was preparing to scold them, when he overheard them discussing the [[Underground Labor Facility]] that the defeated contestants were sent to. He reasoned that this was likely true, given similar rumors that he had heard about escaped prisoner during his time at the Facility. Bribing his way out of his room with a "[[Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit (anime)|Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit]]" card, he visited Yuya to tell him about the rumor, though he was shocked to learn that the Executive High Council could be monitoring them. One of the contestants in the Cup, [[Riley Akaba]], ran in and hugged Yuya, unwilling to participate in the tournament. Chojiro ignored the frantic pleas of his doorman and listened to Declan and Yuya argue over Riley, who was revealed to not want to harm Shinji, his opponent in the Cup. Declan ordered [[Moon Shadow]] to take Riley's place. Chojiro's doorman eventually panicked and returned "Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit" to Chojiro, refusing to lose his job. When Yuya tried to get Riley to stay with him rather than Declan, Chojiro cautioned Yuya against forcing Riley to do so against his will in the same manner that Yuya had criticized Declan for and returned to his room.<ref name="ep67">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|67|ref}}</ref>

After Shinji rallied the audience in his Duel with Moon Shadow, Chojiro was selected next to Duel [[Zuzu Boyle]]. Feeling sorry about the idea of sending a girl like her to do forced labor underground, he apologized loudly, making Zuzu feel uneasy. During the Duel, Chojiro returned to his past Dueling style with drawing, using the risky "[[Chokoikoi Super Koi Koi (anime)|ChokoikoiSuper Koi Koi]]" to bring out his "[[Flower Cardian Lightshower (anime)|Flower Cardian Lightshower]]". Saving "Ameshikou" and his [[LP]] from Zuzu's assault with "[[Mozarta the Melodious Maestra (anime)|Mozarta the Melodious Maestra]]", he then turned to an even greater risk with "[[ChoshobuSuper All In! (anime)|Super All-In!]]", putting the Duel at risk if he didn't draw a "[[Cardian]]" with the draw it allowed him. He managed to draw one and proceeded to Summon five "Cardians" and Synchro Summon his "[[Flower Cardian - GokouLightflare (anime)|Flower Cardian Lightflare]]", [[destroy]]ing "Mozarta" and putting Zuzu in a tight situation with its effects, which negated both Spell Cards and the effects of monsters it battles. Zuzu, however, played around these effects by using "[[Score the Melodious Diva (anime)|Score the Melodious Diva]]" from her hand, turning the tables on "Gokou" and defeating Chojiro. He congratulated her on winning and when she asked if he knew Yuya, he asked her if they were in love, which caused Zuzu to smack him with her fan. Chojiro then recited his motto about people having to enjoy Dueling above all and disposed of his riding suit before leaving the [[Duel Palace]].<ref name="ep69">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|69|ref}}</ref>

Chojiro and Gong later witnessed [[GallagerLucas Swank]] and his cronies taunting recent arrival [[Duel Chaser Officer 227]], and they ordered him to stop, furious at GallagerLucas's attitude. Gallager Lucas then explained to them about the history of [[Jean-Michel Roger]]Roget.<ref name="ep73">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|73|ref}}</ref>

=== Friendship Cup Finals ===According to [[Frank (ARC-V)|Frank]], the other laborers in the underground facilities with him, [[Zuzu Boyle|Zuzu]], [[Amanda]] and [[Tanner (ARC-V)|TannerTarren]] were trustworthy according to Chojiro, which kept them safe in that part of the underground.<ref name="ep88">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|88|ref}}</ref> When [[Gong Strong|Gong]] and [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|Crow]] couldn't find Zuzu, he decided to check the control room while they spilt up to check somewhere else. When he got to the control room, he found his two lackeys and was happy.<ref name="ep90">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|90|ref}}</ref> When Gong, [[Sylvio Sawatari|Sylvio]], and Chojiro reunited with Yuya, Moon Shadow, [[Sora Perse|Sora]], and Riley, they found out that Zuzu and Celina were captured by [[Sergey Volkov|Sergey]] and [[Barrett]], respectively. They also learned that Roger Roget was a defector of [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]] who planned to use Zuzu as a bargaining chip to protect the City and his plans to turn the Synchro Dimension into his own kingdom. When Yuya and Gong were about to leave as well, Chojiro tricked Sylvio into staying back as well to protect Riley and Sylvio changed his mind.<ref name="ep93">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|93|ref}}</ref> After watching the Commons and Sector Security's battle battles escalate, Chojiro and Sylvio argue argued about how to get through. Before they come to a decision, Riley's traumatic memories again causes caused him to join the battle before being calm downed calmed down by Shay. When they arrived at the Capital Building, the front entrance was blocked by Sector Security. Before they could come up with a plan, Declan arrived and destroyed their Trap Cards with "[[D/D/D Duo-Dawn King Kali Yuga (anime)|D/D/D Duo-Dawn King Kali Yuga]]"'s effect. After defeating Sector Security, they went get Yuya on Shay's "[[Raidraptor]]s", where they found Yuya, Gong, Sam, Frank, Amanda and Tanner Tarren on the bridge to the [[Duel Palace]] about to be attacked by Commons who had mistaken them for retreating TopsTopsiders. Once he was in the stadium, Yuya challenged Jack to a Duel.<ref name="ep95">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|95|ref}}</ref> Chojiro helped the Lancers in fending off Security when they stormed the Duel Palace, defeating a "[[Goyo Predator (anime)|Goyo Predator]]" with "Ameshikou".<ref name="ep96">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|96|ref}}</ref> During the Duel after Yuya managed to withstand the attack of Jack's "[[Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend]]" Chojiro commented that Yuya got them all worried for nothing. When the Lancers went to quell the Commons' riot, Chojiro believes that they might be the City's saviors. After watch Jack Synchro Summon "[[Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend]]", Chojiro theorized that Jack is arrogant because there wasn't an opponent that could push him higher until Yuya appeared. He was also amazed when Yuya Pendulum Summon five monsters.<ref name="ep97">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|97|ref}}</ref> Chojiro was happy when Yuya defeated Jack but was angry when the Executive Council appeared. The Council broadcasted via holograms their confession of the true purpose of tournament, resigned and disbanded, and dissolved the Tops and Commons system. Everyone widely clapped and agreed, and celebrations continued.<ref name="ep98">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|98|ref}}</ref>

Z-ARC Summoned "[[Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing (anime)|Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing]]", causing Chojiro to mistake him for [[Yugo]], though the kids claimed that Z-ARC couldn't be Yugo as Yugo wasn't their enemy. He was impressed when Jack protected "[[Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend]]" and increased its [[ATK]], but worried when he thought Jack was defeated by "Clear Wing". To his shock, a dimensional rift opened in front of them, transporting New Domino to the [[Fusion Dimension]], and he watched Jack bring out "[[Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend]]".<ref name="ep138">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

However, he was impressed when Declan negated the effects of "[[Supreme King Gate Zero (anime)|Supreme King Gate Zero]]" and "[[Supreme King Gate Infinity (anime)|Infinity]]" and dealt damage to Z-ARC. He was surprised when he thought "Z-ARC" killed Declan.<ref name="ep140">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chojiro runs a '''"[[Flower Cardian]]" Deck''', which focuses on gathering specific "Flower Cardians" on the [[field]] to bring out powerful [[Synchro Monster]]s to overwhelm the opponent, simulating the use of [[wikipedia:Hanafuda|Hanafuda]] playing cards. Because he used to rely on his [[draw a card|drawing]] skills prior to his incarceration and once cheated to ensure he got the card he needed, he developed an unbeatable combo of using "[[Flower Cardian Lightshower (anime)|Flower Cardian Lightshower]]" to discourage drawing cards by locking down his draw and [[effect damage|damaging]] his opponent. By taking the first [[turn]], and through his [[signature card|ace monster]]'s effect, he never draws any cards, and when he does require drawing cards, he uses [[card effect|effects]] to stack the top of his [[Deck]] so he won't rely on any drawing skills to get what he needs.

He returns to his previous Dueling style after his Duel with [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]], using many effects that let him draw additional cards in order to [[swarm]] the field with "Cardian" monsters, but come with high penalties should he fail to draw a "Cardian" such as "[[Chokoikoi Super Koi Koi (anime)|ChokoikoiSuper Koi Koi]]". However, he still uses "Lightshower".
