Profile

童実野（どみの）高校（こうこう）に通（かよ）う高校生（こうこうせい）。
当初（とうしょ）から城之内（じょうのうち）と行動（こうどう）を共（とも）にしており、中学（ちゅうがく）時代（じだい）にはケンカも強（つよ）く男気（おとこぎ）に厚（あつ）い城之内（じょうのうち）に憧（あこが）れていたという。

かつては城之内（じょうのうち）と共（とも）に遊戯（ゆうぎ）をいじめていたが、城之内（じょうのうち）と遊戯（ゆうぎ）が友情（ゆうじょう）で結（むす）ばれ、共（とも）に行動（こうどう）するようになると、本田（ほんだ）もまた、遊戯（ゆうぎ）と行動（こうどう）を共（とも）にするようになる。

情（じょう）に厚（あつ）い性格（せいかく）で、ややお調子者（ちょうしもの）なところもある一方（いっぽう）で、冷静（れいせい）な一面（いちめん）もあり、城之内（じょうのうち）や城（じょう）之（の）内（うち）の妹（いもうと）の静香（しずか）を気遣（きづか）ったり、城之内（じょうのうち）のフォローをしたり、獏良（ばくら）の様子（ようす）がおかしいことに皆（みな）が気付（きづ）かない中（なか）ただ一人（ひとり）気付（きづ）いたりと、周（まわ）りをよく見（み）ることができる。
デュエルを見守（みまも）っている時（とき）にも、当事者（とうじしゃ）である城之内（じょうのうち）よりも冷静（れいせい）に状況（じょうきょう）を把握（はあく）できているのではと思（おも）えるような事（こと）もある。

遊戯（ゆうぎ）や城之内（じょうのうち）達（たち）の良（よ）き仲間（なかま）であり、突（つ）っ込（こ）み役（やく）。手先（てさき）が器用（きよう）で、自転車（じてんしゃ）やデュエルディスクを直（なお）したりするのが得意（とくい）。

A senior high school student attending Domino High School.
He has been around Jonouchi since the very beginning, and admired Jonouchi during junior high school due to his chivalric spirit and being good at fights.

He used to bully Yugi along with Jonouchi, but when Yugi and Jonouchi formed their friendship and began to hang out together, Honda started to hang out with Yugi as well.

He is fairly sympathetic and understanding, and while he can get carried away from time to time, he also has more presence of mind than he might appear to and he can pay close attention to his surroundings, worrying about the well-being of Jonouchi as well as Jonouchi's sister Shizuka, keeping track of Jonouchi's movements, and noticing Bakura's sudden shifts in behavior while everyone else remains unaware.
Even if he is watching Jonouchi dueling, he can often grasp a situation at hand more calmly than Jonouchi would.

In Yugi's and Jonouchi's group of good friends, he is the resident straight man. He is skilled with his hands, and is good at repairing bicycles and Duel Disks.
