Katsuya Jonouchi, known as Joey Wheeler in the English anime, is a Yu-Gi-Oh! character, who is best friends with Yugi Muto.
He is known as Joseph "Joey" Wheeler in the 4Kids English anime and video games as well as the Brazilian and Portuguese version of the manga, and called Joseph "Joey" Katsuya in the Funimation Uncut English Anime. In the Swedish anime his name is Katsuya Jonouchi but they call him Jono. His name is sometimes spelled Katsuya Jyonouchi in the Japanese anime. His dub name could be based on the character of Wheeler, another character with a Brooklyn accent from Captain Planet. It may also be an homage to Joseph Wheeler, a commander during the American Civil War. In the manga when Ryo Bakura invited the protagonists to play the Monster World RPG, Jonouchi's character was named "Joey".

Personality
Jonouchi started out as a bully, but becoming friends with Yugi Muto changes this. Though occasionally portrayed as comic relief, he is essential to the plot and the series' overall theme. He is an enthusiastic duelist, who claims dueling is about fighting to help people you love.
Kazuki Takahashi considers Seto Kaiba and Yami Yugi weak in comparison to Joey.[3]
The first syllables of Yugi and Jonouchi's names form Yūjō, which is Japanese for friendship, symbolizing the bond between the two characters.[4] The card "Yu-Jo Friendship" is based on this connection.
Design
Appearance
Jonouchi's character design was overseen by Kazuki Takahashi.
In the first seven volumes of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! manga, Jonouchi's hairstyle changes drastically. Originally featuring two large fringes in front of his ears, the hairstyle changes to a sporadically arranged taper-like and unrealistic hairstyle. Jonouchi's first color appearance depicts him with medium brown hair and black eyes. Subsequent appearances lighten the hair color to dirty blond and blond. His eyes are portrayed as brown or hazel.
In the first series anime, Jonouchi's hairstyle does not change, and the sporadic hairstyle colored in a bright blond style is used. His eyes are brown.
In the second series anime he has dirty blond hair in the sporadic hairstyle and dark brown eyes. His usual outfit from the second series anime consists of a long green open jacket with a raised collar, a white T-shirt underneath and blue jeans. Later in the series, his green jacket is replaced with a blue denim one. He often carries a KaibaCorp Duel Disk on his left arm.
Voice
In the Japanese version, Jonouchi does not use honorifics, which means he has a "rude" speech pattern. When talking to people he doesn't like, Jonouchi uses the word "teme" (a rude form of "you" in Japanese, often translated as "you bastard") instead of his normal "omae" (a form of "you" that in context is used between friends, but can imply that the person being spoken to has a lower status than the speaker does if used incorrectly), especially to Seto Kaiba, who does not think highly of Jonouchi. The speech pattern translates into the 4Kids English anime, in which it is represented by Jonouchi (voiced by Wayne Grayson) speaking with a Brooklyn accent. He refers to himself as "The Godfather of Games" in the movie. In the Southeast Asian English dub, Jonouchi (voiced by Dwayne Tan in this dub) noticeably lacks the Brooklyn accent he has in the American dub.

History
Jonouchi and his sister, Shizuka Kawai, were separated when their parents divorced when he was 10. Shizuka was brought up by her mother while Jonouchi lived with his father.
Joey and Hiroto Honda used to bully Yugi Muto at school. At one point Jonouchi took a piece of Yugi's Millennium Puzzle and threw it into a canal. However when Ushio started beating up Jonouchi and Honda, Yugi stood up for them, saying they were his friends. Jonouchi was inspired by how Yugi had tried to help him and came to care for Yugi. He retrieved the piece of the puzzle in the canal and gave it to Yugi's grandfather to give to Yugi.
Jonouchi became friends with Anzu Mazaki through Yugi.
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Duelist Kingdom
After taking up Duel Monsters, it becomes clear that Jonouchi isn't very good at the game initially, so Yugi suggests that Jonouchi take lessons from Sugoroku Muto, Yugi's grandfather. The training proves rigorous, yet Jonouchi copes and becomes a stronger duelist. He makes the top eight in the regionals. After Seto Kaiba kidnaps Sugoroku and then rips up his "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" card, Jonouchi spurs a bitter hatred of Kaiba.
Jonouchi accompanies Yugi in the Duelist Kingdom tournament to help Yugi rescue Sugoroku; he also wishes to use the prize money to pay for Shizuka's eye operation. Yugi gives Jonouchi one of his Star Chips, allowing him to also enter the tournament. On the boat journey to the Duelist Kingdom, Yugi gives Jonouchi a "Time Wizard" saying it can be useful in a tight situation. Here Jonouchi meets Mai Kujaku for the first time. At this point she claims he is not worth her time. After Insector Haga tosses Yugi's "Exodia" cards overboard, Jonouchi dives in to the water to rescue them. He manages to retrieve two of the cards before Yugi dives in to rescue Jonouchi. Both of them are saved by Anzu and Honda, who managed to sneak onto the boat.
Still an amateur, Jonouchi manages to beat Mai Valentine with Yugi's help and support from Anzu and Honda. He later beats Dinosaur Ryuzaki in a duel, where he is not allowed to accept help from Yugi. Here he wins Ryuzaki's "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" card by betting "Time Wizard".
When the group meet Bakura, they end-up trapped inside Duel Monsters cards, by Yami Bakura. Using his friends as cards, Yami Yugi duels Yami Bakura. Jonouchi is trapped in the "Flame Swordsman" card, but appears on the field, when Yami Yugi Summons him. Jonouchi offers to sacrifice himself for Yugi's "Horn of Heaven" to they can stop Yami Bakura's "Man-Eater Bug". Anzu, who has taken the form of the "Magician of Faith", cries over Jonouchi's death, activating her effect, returning "Monster Reborn" to Yami Yugi's hand. Yami then uses it to revive Jonouchi. Yami Yugi defeats Yami Bakura, after using his Millennium Puzzle to switch his place with regular Bakura. Afterwards Jonouchi believes the events of the duel to have been a dream.
In attempt to get revenge, he has a duel outside of the tournament, against Seto Kaiba, where he is brutally defeated. Jounouchi loses confidence after this defeat and briefly leaves his friends before being forced into a duel against "Ghost" Kotsuzuka. He manages to beat Ghost and later the Meikyū Brothers in a tag duel with Yugi. Jonouchi then qualified to the semi-finals. Pegasus then mentioned that each duelist must hold one of two entry cards or face disqualification. In order to keep Jonouchi in the competition, Yugi gave him one of his entry cards. Although Bandit Keith steals Jonouchi's card, Jonouchi proceeds to defeat Keith in the semi-finals, because Mai gave Jonouchi one of her entry cards after she loses to Yugi. In the final round, Jonouchi uses everything he learned from Yugi throughout the tournament. Despite their friendship, neither of them hold back and Yugi wins after a close duel. Jonouchi remains on the sideline cheering for Yugi in the final. After Yugi defeats Pegasus, he gives Jonouchi the prize money for Shizuka's operation.
Legendary Heroes
Shortly after Duelist Kingdom, Mokuba Kaiba comes to Sugoroku's shop, Kame Game, to inform Yugi and his friends that Seto Kaiba had been kidnapped and trapped in a Virtual World. They agree to help Mokuba and accompany him to KaibaCorp. Jonouchi, Yugi and Mokuba entered the MMORPG like Virtual World, where they completed tasks and met up with Mai Kujaku. Mai reluctantly admitted it was her trying to avoid them thinking she was their friend. While Jonouchi is helpful in saving Kaiba, Kaiba says he wouldn't ever consider Jonouchi a teammate.
Dungeon Dice Monsters
After Ryuji Otogi transfers to Domino High, Jonouchi becomes jealous of his popularity and challenges him to a duel, where, if Jonouchi wins, Otogi must shut down the game shop he'd just opened as Sugoroku had been complaining about the loss of business his own game shop was getting as a result. Otogi sets the stakes so that, if he wins, Jonouchi must do as he says. Despite Yugi's objection, Jonouchi and Otogi do not duel with their own decks; instead, they draw cards from sealed Duel Monsters booster packs. Otogi wins and, holding his end of the bargain, Jonouchi does as Otogi tells him and wears a dog costume. He was later released of this embarrassment after Yugi defeated Otogi in Dungeon Dice Monsters, freeing Jonouchi. Despite their conflicts, Otogi becomes friends with Jonouchi.
Battle City
When Seto Kaiba hosted the Battle City tournament, he allowed duelists to enter based on a rating he'd given them. At the enrollment, Yugi was allowed to enter based on the 5 star rating he was given, but Jonouchi was given the minimum rating of 1 star. While Jonouchi was ranting about Kaiba, the tournament official, notices "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" listed as Joey's rarest card, so he changes Jonouchi's rating to 4 stars, saying that the previous rating had been a mistake. After Jonouchi and his friends have left, the official phones a Rare Hunter, to inform him about the "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" card.
While heading to the hospital for Shizuka's operation, Jonouchi encounters a group of Rare Hunters. One of them, Seeker, duels Jonouchi and defeats him using "Exodia". The hunters beat up Jonouchi and take the Red-Eyes card. This makes him feel unworthy to be present at Shizuka's operation. However, Shizuka refuses to have the operation until Jonouchi arrives. Honda manages to find Jonouchi and talk him into going to the hospital. Shizuka is still angry at Jonouchi for being late, but he manages to talk her into getting the operation.
Jonouchi finds Seeker on the first day of the tournament in an attempt to get a rematch, but is denied, so Yugi duels and defeats Seeker instead. He wins back the "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" card and offers it to Jonouchi, but Jonouchi insists that Yugi keep it. Jonouchi goes on to defeat Esper Roba, Ryouta Kajiki and Insector Haga, qualifying for the quarter-finals, and gaining new cards that boost his deck considerably. He decided that early on, he only wanted to defeat strong duelists to qualify, rather than do things the easy way. This led him to go as far as challenging Seto Kaiba. Kaiba declined after he is informed of Yugi's location while hunting for the Egyptian God Cards. Although he is relieved about not facing Kaiba, he still acts tough and calls Kaiba a coward.
After his Duel with Kajiki, Marik Ishtar, the leader of the Rare Hunters, uses his Millennium Rod to possess Jonouchi and force him to duel Yugi, with both their lives on the line. They were both chained to an anchor which would drop after a time limit or when a player's Life Points hit zero. Also once a player's Life Points hit 0, the opponent would be able to get a key that could unlock him from the chains. Marik boosts Jonouchi's deck with powerful spell cards that have Yugi and Kaiba amazed. Yugi, to show Marik how strong his friendship with Jonouchi is, summons Red-Eyes and gives Jonouchi his Millennium Puzzle. Yugi delibrately loses, but Jonouchi manages to snap out of Marik's control and force the duel in a draw. He grabs the key to unlock Yugi's chain and dives into the water to rescue him. He is unable to the unlock his own chains with Yugi's key. Shizuka arrives in time to take the bandages off her eyes and take Jonouchi's key and dive in to rescue him. (In the manga, it is Kaiba who rescues Jonouchi, rather than Shizuka.)
Jonouchi, along with his friends, proceed to the KaibaCorp blimp, where the quarter-finals are held. He is paired against Rishid Ishtar in the qurater-finals. At the time, Rishid was pretending to be Marik, while the real Marik pretended to be a boy named Namu, who earned their trust by pretending to have helped Bakura. After Rishid obtains a clear advantage in their duel, Shizuka begins to leave, saying she cannot bear to watch. However, Jonouchi calls her back, saying that she is his inspiration and he needs her to win. Despite a comeback, Rishid attempts to claim victory, but Jonouchi accused him of not being Marik. He claimed Rishid was fighting fairly and proving honorable and didn't think he was the same guy who was controlling him earlier. Rishid withdraws his winning move and tries to summon "The Winged Dragon of Ra" to prove he was Marik. Since the Ra card was a counterfeit that Marik had put in Rishid's Deck, the real Ra was angered and struck down both players. When this occurred, Rishid's fake Millennium Rod shattered, giving the real Marik away. Kaiba announced that the first player to stand up within a time limit would be declared the winner, otherwise both players would be disqualified. While unconscious, Jonouchi has a dream about his friends helping him to stand up and he ends up standing up for real, claiming victory. Rishid then asks for Jonouchi's forgiveness, and tells him that it had been an honor dueling him, before falling into a coma.
Jonouchi later thanks his friends, telling him they were there with him in the dream helping him stand up. Mai asked Jonouchi if she was in his dream. Jonouchi lies and says that she wasn't, which infuriates Mai. She stormed off claiming she didn't need friends, while Anzu pulled Jonouchi aside to berate him.
Mai was paired against Marik in her quarter-final. Jonouchi attempted to encourage her from the sideline, but she was still angered by what he had said earlier and claimed she didn't want or need his help. Marik set the Duel such that each time a player destroyed one of their opponent's monsters, the opponent would forget everything about someone they knew. This forced her to forget about Anzu first, then Jonouchi. Marik was about to win the duel by attacking with "The Winged Dragon of Ra", while Mai was strapped to a wall by Marik's monsters, so Jonouchi climbed into the arena and tried to unstrap Mai to save her from Ra's blast. He was unable to but Yami Yugi jumped in protecting both from the blast. Yugi and Joey survived, though Marik was able to kill Mai. He feels somewhat responsible for Mai's loss. This further fueled Jonouchi's hatred for Marik, making him want to face Marik in the next round.
Virtual World
After the quarter-finals, the blimp was sucked into a hidden area where Yugi, Jonouchi, Anzu, Honda, Otogi, Shizuka, Kaiba and Mokuba were linked into a Virtual World apparently hosted by Kaiba's stepbrother Noa Kaiba. The party was split up and to defeat members of the Big Five, who would take their bodies to escape from the virtual world and live inside them in the real world. Jonouchi was able to construct his deck using lists of given cards. He included a few Harpy cards, remembering how Mai used to use them. He faced Chikuzen Oka , who rigged Jonouchi's lucked based cards to work in his favor. Noa threatens to disqualify Oka, but Jonouchi asks that the duel continue and he defeats Oka. He later pairs up with Yugi as they duel the Big Five combined. Working together they defeat the Big Five. After Yugi defeats Noa, the party are returned to the real world.
Battle City finals
On entering the Duel Tower Island, where the Battle City finals are taking place, Kaiba continues to mock Jonouchi and asked how he managed to enter the tournament, saying somebody must have messed up on the computer systems. Despite his hatred for Kaiba, Jonouchi's hated for Marik was stronger and he used the Battle Royale Duel, which would determine who faced who in the next round, in his favor to pair him against Marik.
When Jonouchi duels Marik in the semi-finals, Marik links all monsters summoned by a player to the player themselves, so that any pain the monster feels, the controller would also feel. Jonouchi duels surprisingly well against Marik, but when Marik summons "The Winged Dragon of Ra", he uses its effect to destroy Jonouchi's monsters, causing Jonouchi immense pain. It appeared that Jonouchi would not survive the blast. This even resulted in Yami begging Kaiba to call off the duel, but Kaiba refuses, and insisted he had to witness Ra's special ability with his own eyes. But when Ra had finished, Jonouchi was still standing. He struggled to draw his next card, "Gearfried the Iron Knight". He summoned it and tried to attack Marik's Life Points directly for the win, but collapsed before the attack went through, leaving Marik the winner. After seeing Jonouchi stand up after Ra's blast, Kaiba actually admits to himself that he was impressed by Jonouchi's performance, and realizes Jonouchi isn't only the third-rate amateur that he thought he was.
Jonouchi remains in a coma (in the English version, a few screen shots were cut that showed that in fact he was dead for a few minutes and dialogues were rearranged to show him simply as unconscious), leaving his friends worrying whether he will wake up or not. He is taken care of by KaibaCorp doctors on the Kaiba's blimp, until Yugi's duel with Kaiba in the semi-finals, when Honda drags him to the window to see Yugi's duel claiming Yugi needs him. Jonouchi slowly regained consciousness and afterwords dashes up the Duel Tower, catching the end of Yugi's duel. After Kaiba gives Yugi "Obelisk the Tormentor", because of the ante rule, Jonouchi challenges Kaiba to a play off to determine 3rd and 4th place. Though Jonouchi plays rather well, managing for a short time to use Kaiba's own "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" again him, Kaiba wins and says that dueling Jonouchi was just a waste of time. However, Mokuba, who was one of the few spectators, is impressed by how Jonouchi dueled his brother.
Jonouchi cheers on Yugi in the finals against Yami Marik and returns to Mai's bed to see if defeating Yami Marik had woken her up. He cries over her body, until he hears Mai and Shizuka snickering, as they pranked him into admitting he would do anything to have Mai wake up, Mai having woken up before he even reached her room.
After the gang flew back to Domino City, they said their goodbyes and parted. Later on, Jonouchi met up with Yugi for a duel they promised each other. Joey claimed he was going to win back his "Red-Eyes Black Dragon". The result of the Duel was never shown.
Waking the Dragons
In the Waking the Dragons arc, Joey accompanies Yugi in saving the world from Dartz and his organization, Paradius. He later finds out Mai is working for Paradius and is set on using "The Seal of Orichalcos" to strip Joey of his soul. Joey refuses to accept Mai joined under her own free will and accused Paradius of brainwashing her. Mai duels Joey in an attempt to take his soul. Joey struggles to avoid losing the duel, until his mind is taken to another world, where he pulls a sword from a large dragon sealed in crystal. Back in reality that dragon, "The Claw of Hermos" is added to his Deck. He uses to card to gain an advantage in the Duel. When it becomes apparent that Joey is about to win, Valon interrupts, using a fragment of the Orichalcos stone to remove "The Seal of Orichalcos" in order to save Mai.
Joey manages to catch the last glimpse of Yugi's Duel with Rafael. he is astonished to see the symbol of the Orichalcos on Yugi's forehead, since this must have meant Yugi played "the Seal of Orichalcos". He witnessed Yugi lose the duel and watched him lose a soul. Rafael began to make his escape in a helicopter, taking Yugi's body with him. Joey chased him demanding him to give Yugi back. Rafael then flung Yugi's body back at him. After Yugi begins to show signs of life, Joey becomes excited thinking Yugi had found a way to avoid losing his soul. But Yami Yugi revealed that only he had survived while "regular" Yugi let his own soul be taken. (In the Japanese version Jonouchi punched Yami for letting this happen and this was cut from the English Version.)
Joey and Tristan get seperated from Téa and Yami Yugi, after the train they were riding split in two. Outside the train Joey and Tristan met Rex, who was now working with Paradius and looking to duel Joey. Joey refused to duel knowing one of them would lose their soul if "the Seal of Orichalcos" was played. But Raptor began to duel and left Joey no choice but to duel back. Throughout the duel Rex reveals his motive for targeting Joey. He and Weevil had been humiliated after their defeats to Joey and Yugi in Duelist Kingdom. They both suffered a mass loss in popularity and were now regarded as losers and a joke. He blamed Joey for all this, including going on to say Joey stole, not fairly won, his Red-Eyes. Joey proceeded to win the duel, causing Rex to lose his soul. He and Tristan were left carrying Rex's body through the desert after this.
Joey's Hermos card began to glow as he sees the three Legendary Dragons guide an airplane to crash land safely nearby. Joey and Tristan rush to the plane, where they meet up with Yami and and Téa, who had also seen the Dragons guide the plane. Kaiba emerged from the plane, he explained how Paradius had hacked into KaibaCorp and began taking over. Kaiba gave the party a lift to Domino City and left Rex in the care of his remaining faithful staff. The City had become overrun with Orichalcos Soldiers. After being chased by one, Joey met Valon, who took off on a motorcycle. Joey grabbed a motorcycle that an Orichalcos Soldier had caused someone to fall off of and chased Valon. After catching up, Joey dueled Valon, while Valon explained his reason for targeting Joey had been because of how Mai had constantly ranted about him and felt eliminating Joey would be a favor to her. However, Valon was impressed by Joey's dueling skills and speech about he felt dueling was about fighting for people you love. He soon came to respect Joey and saw why Mai was so interested in him. Mai appeared before the end of the duel. She told Valon off for dueling Joey because she wanted to be the one to defeat him. Joey won and Valon asked Joey to save Mai, before losing his soul.
Unable to convince Mai that she has been brainwashed, Joey said the only way he could get through to Mai was to duel her. Through the course of the duel Mai comes to remember why she had once cared for Joey. She holds back from attacking him when she is able to declare victory, but Joey still falls and the Seal of Orichalcos begins to take his soul. Mai rushes and hugs him to stop him from falling, telling him she was sorry and that he was "the closest friend she ever had". Shorty after Joey pushes her safely out of the Seal while his soul gets taken. Mai takes the Hermos card and rests his body next to Valon's before dashing to duel Dartz for Valon and Joey. Yugi, Téa and Tristan arrive and take care of Joey's body
Joey's soul returns to his body after Yugi's duel with Dartz. Yugi returns Hermos to Joey and he helps summon monsters to defeat The Great Leviathan. After the defeat of the Leviathan, he watches as the Legendary Knights and Dark Magician Girl return to their world. The Hermos card fades away as he does so.
Grand Championship
Joey was invited to Seto Kaiba's Grand Championship tournament. He served as mainly a comic relief character in this arc. After Yugi said the card "Heart of the Underdog" reminded him of a friend, calling Joey an underdog became a running gag that day. In the first round, he defeated Solomon Muto, who entered under the identity Apdnarg Otum, to test how well he had trained Joey. Only Joey was fooled by his disguise. After putting up a good fight he was defeated by Zigfried von Schroeder in the next round.
Dawn of the Duel
The Dawn of the Duel storyline saw Joey, Yugi, Téa and Tristan go to Egypt to help Yami Yugi fulfil his destiny as Pharaoh. They were greeted at the airport by the Ishtars. After Yami Yugi entered the Memory World, his friends were shocked to see he had left the Millennium Puzzle. So Shadi used the Millennium Key to open the way to the Maze of Yugi's heart to try and find the door to the Memory World. Once there, the four of them met up with Bobasa, who promised to help them. They were able to phase through other buildings and people unnoticed and remained invisible to the majority of people, but they could not pass through the palace gates. Joey, Téa, Tristan and Yugi manage to find Yami's real name, but are unable to read the hieroglyphics. When they meet up with Yami later, they are unable to tell him his real name. Together they summon monsters to fight Zorc Necrophades, after Zorc defeats their monsters, they try concentrating, on their memory of the hieroglyphics, and are able to make them appear on a cartouche. Yami read his name Atem, from the cartouche allowing him to summon The Creator God of Light, Horakhty to destroy Zorc Necrophades.
After returning to the real world, Joey offers to duel Atem in the Ceremonial Battle. This is declined so Yugi can duel Atem himself. After the duel Joey and his friends fly back to Japan. He is last seen walking into the distance with Yugi, Téa and Tristan as the series ends.
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
Joey is mentioned by name, by Pegasus. Pegasus includes Joey in his top five duelists as number three, two being Kaiba and one being Yugi.
His name is made referenced in an episode in the English version when Jaden duels a lab chimpanzee, the scientist says the ape's name is Wheeler. The monkey, itself, is also a reference to Joey, since Kaiba dubbed Joey as "The Dueling Monkey".
When Jaden Yuki is taken to the past to duel against the younger Yugi, he picks up a flyer that has a picture of Yugi, Téa, Tristan and Joey.
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
In the English version of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, someone asks if a person dueling is Joey Wheeler. Someone else replies that it is his cousin Jesse Wheeler. Jesse Wheeler was not mentioned in the Japanese version. It is likely that the person in the English version was being sarcastic.
Non-canon appearances
Deck
Main article: Joey Wheeler's Decks
Originally, Joey's Deck is comprised of mostly Warrior and Beast-Warrior-Type monsters. He also uses luck based cards like "Question", "Graceful Dice", "Skull Dice", "Roulette Spider" in the series, mostly in the Battle City arc later on using monsters with power special effects such as "Gilford the Lightning" and "Blue Flame Swordsman". His dependency on luck (which works surprisingly well for him) started after he defeated Mai Valentine with "Time Wizard". At the start of Season Four, more of his cards focuses on strategies involving his "Red-Eyes B. Dragon", such as "Knight of Dark Dragons", "Lord of the Red", and "Star Blaster".
