BiographyEdit
Yu-Gi-Oh!Edit
Battle CityEdit
Nagumo was unhappy with the card he has won through the ante rule after one of his Duels. He demanded that his opponent also give him his second rarest card.
However, Mokuba Kaiba appeared and calls a foul for changing the ante. Koji insulted Mokuba, calling him “Junior”. However Seto Kaiba appeared and told Nagumo off, saying that speaking rudely to Mokuba dishonors Kaiba and the Battle City tournament. Kaiba challenged him to a Duel, anteing a briefcase of rare cards and “Obelisk the Tormentor”. He allowed Koji to use the cards from the briefcase in the Duel, but said he would take them back after he won. Koji, overconfident at his newly empowered Deck, suffered a devastating defeat as Kaiba unleashed “Obelisk”, and took his Locator Cards. Koji was left traumatized by Obelisk’s overwhelming power, and wound up screaming in terror as he relived the image of the God crushing him.
During the finals, Nagumo observed the fight between Yugi and Kaiba from television screen in Domino City, along with the other Duelists that had been eliminated from the tournament.
Pyramid of LightEdit
During Yu-Gi-Oh! the Movie: Pyramid of Light, Koji was a bystander during Joey's Duels in front of Domino High School. His hair is brown in this instance.
