'''Yako Tenma''' is the main antagonist of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! R]]''. He is the protégé and adopted son (often mistaken, or mistranslated as younger brother) of [[Maximillion J. Pegasus(manga)|Pegasus]], and the biological twin brother of [[Gekko Tenma]], who wants revenge for Pegasus' death and disappearance, (although unbeknownst to him, it was actually [[Yami Dark Bakura (manga)|Dark Bakura]] who killed him. He was always known as the less superior of the two Tenma brothers, constantly being defeated by Gekko. Yako appeared to have acquired an inferiority complex from his treatment by others. [[Pegasus]] however, seemed to be the only one who recognized he had potential, and that he'd develop into a great Duelist someday. He believes that [[Yugi]] killed Pegasus, and even when Gekko tells him that what [[Keith Howard]] told him is false, he said that "the reason Pegasus got killed is because Yugi won against him." Tenma's name comes from "Pegasus", which can be translated into Japanese as "Tenma", or 天馬).
He was always known as the less superior of the two Tenma brothers, constantly being defeated by Gekko in [[Duel]]s. Yako appeared to have acquired an inferiority complex from his treatment by others. Pegasus however, seemed to be the only one who recognized he had potential, and that he'd develop into a great Duelist someday. He believes that [[Yugi Mutou (manga)|Yugi]] killed Pegasus, and even when Gekko tells him that what [[Keith Howard (manga)|Keith Howard]] told him is false, he said that "the reason Pegasus got killed is because Yugi won against him." ==Design=====Appearance===Yako is a young man of average height, with silver-green hair that trails down his back and separates into two above his forehead in a similar manner to Jonouchi. In the present, he wears a closed pink coat, white gloves, pants and shoes. After defeating Seto Kaiba, his coat falls open revealing that he wears a simple black shirt under it. When he appears as a hologram, he commonly wears a heavy maroon coat as a cape in a similar manner to how Dark Yugi does with his jacket on occasion. In the past, he wore attire similar to that worn by Pegasus and his hair was shorter. ===Personality===Yako is extremely determined to revive Pegasus, not letting anything stand in his way; be it Yugi and his friends or [[Seto Kaiba (manga)|Seto Kaiba]]. His mentality seemed to be slowly warped by the presence of the [[Wicked Gods]], twisting him more and more as he had been exposed to them over time. He claims that [[Maximillion J. Pegasus (manga)|Pegasus]] was his master and everything to him, and losing him was the worst tragedy that could befall him. He also held great enmity for his twin, Gekko. Gekko was often praised by Pegasus as a "perfect" Duelist, and Yako often felt that he was Dueling in the shadow of his twin. He failed to realize that Gekko was "perfect" in the fact that he would experience no growth as a Duelist, and was as strong as he'd ever be. Yako's feelings for Gekko eventually caused him to use his brother as a pawn in his battle against Yugi. While at his most volatile, his right eye bulged due to his damaged mind. After the destruction of "[[The Wicked Avatar (manga)|The Wicked Avatar]]", Yako's personality returned to his kind, calm demeanor he held before being exposed to the Wicked Gods. ===Etymology===Yako's name comes directly from 天馬 ''tenma'', which is Japanese for "pegasus" (the mythical creature). It was also an alias used by Pegasus in the Japanese version of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction]]''; ''Taiyo Tenma''. ===Abilities===He is highly skilled with technology. For example, he used advanced holograms to make it appear as if he could pass through walls, ceilings and other solid objects. Another example is that he was also able to use this technology in combination with the powers of the Wicked Gods to revive Keith Howard and remove Anzu Mazaki's soul from her body. He was able to use the powers of the Wicked Gods to control Gekko, though he referred to his doing so as "hacking" his body, suggesting that he did so in conjunction with technology. ==Biography=====History===
[[File:Pegasus_Tenma.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Pegasus discusses his plans with Yako.]]
Yako along his twin brother, Gekko were orphans adopted by Pegasus to be trained as his protégés to be potential heirs to his company, I2I². It became apparent the Tenma twins were considered Pegasus' favorites amongst among the adopted children, and they clearly were the most attached to him. One day prior to Duelist Kingdom, Pegasus discussed his plans of taking over [[KaibaCorp]] and reviving [[Cyndia (manga)|Cyndia]]. Unfortunately, this dream would never come true, and it was also the last time Yako would see his mentor alive. At some point after The the [[Duelist Kingdom (manga)|Duelist Kingdom ]] Tournament, he found Cyndia's card covered in Pegasus's blood, causing Yako to freak out. In anger, Yako demanded [[Croquet (manga)|Mr. Crocketts]] tell him who did this, and not knowing what happened to Pegasus, he revealed that [[Yugi Mutou (manga)|Yugi]] defeated him, giving Yako a target. In revenge, Yako locked himself in his room to research in the mystic science, which includes the [[Millennium Items (manga)|Millennium Items]], especially the [[Millennium Eye (manga)|Millennium Eye]], and the designs of very powerful and evil cards that Pegasus left behind, but did not produce due to fear; Yako used his researches to complete them, and named them the [[Wicked God]]s, which slowly corrupted him. He tested his plan to revive Pegasus by using "[[The Wicked Avatar (manga)|The Wicked Avatar]]" to revive [[Keith Howard (manga)|Keith Howard]]. ===Yu-Gi-Oh! R===Yako made his move after the [[Battle City (manga)|Battle City Tournament]], observing a recording of Yugi's defeat of [[Dark Marik (manga)|Dark Marik]], and declaring that Yugi had to pay for taking everything from him. He hacked into the [[KaibaCorp]] building's mainframe, making it through all of the firewalls, and preventing [[Isono ]]from shutting the system down. He then appeared as a hologram, declaring the KaibaCorp had been taken over by the Asian division of [[Industrial Illusions]]. He kidnapped [[Anzu Mazaki (manga)|Anzu Mazaki]], replacing her with a hologram. After school had finished at [[Domino High School]], Yako appeared as a hologram to meet Yugi Mutou, emerging from a desk. [[Katsuya Jonouchi (manga)|Jonouchi]] initially thought he was a ghost, though Yugi realized that Yako was a hologram. Yako requested to Duel Yugi, and he accepted, switching to [[Dark Yugi (manga)|Dark Yugi]]. Yugi Summoned "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon (manga)|Slifer the Sky Dragon]]" against Yako, but Yako countered with his newly revealed God card, "[[The Wicked Avatar (manga)|The Wicked Avatar]]", which took the form of a black "Slifer" and destroyed "Slifer" with ease as "Avatar" was higher on the divine hierarchy of the God cards. He then called off the Duel and Anzu disappeared, revealing to the others that she had been a hologram, and told Yugi to come to the KaibaCorp building if he wanted to rescue her. Around the same time, he also contacted Kaiba in a similar manner, remarking when Kaiba suggested [[Duel Academy|a facility to train future Duelists]] that Pegasus had also planned a similar idea. The [[Duel Disk]]s of people that Kaiba was observing began to malfunction, and Kaiba realized that Yako was behind it. Yako revealed that he had taken over KaibaCorp's Duel Ring Sever for a project of his, goading Kaiba into returning to Japan. After Yugi defeated [[Deschutes Lew]], he talked with Bandit Keith, revealing that he needed the Duels to occur to have the R.A. Project to proceed. Later, after Yugi had defeated [[Maico Kato]], bringing the total number of [[Card Professors Guild|card professors]] in the building down to seven, he met him in person, Yugi sensing that he was real due to his Duelist's aura. He requested to Duel Yugi again, as his deck was not well prepared the previous time. He offered to let Yugi see Anzu if he won, but if Yako won, he would take the Egyptian Gods. Yugi accepted the challenge, and Crocketts led them to a theater to Duel.
==Decks=====Wicked God===Yako uses a '''[[Wicked God|Devil God]] [[Deck]]'''. it It focuses on [[Level]] modification tactics to bring out multiple [[monster]]s, which he can [[Tribute]] for the Summoning of the Devil Wicked Gods, particularly "[[The Wicked Avatar (manga)|The Wicked Avatar]]". Many of his monsters are named after [[wikipedia:Goetia|Goetia]] demons. In addition, several of his monsters are [[List of unnamed cards#Yako's monsters|unnamed]].
