'''Kuriboh''' is a character in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh! second series '' anime]]. It serves as a [[Duel Monster Spirit]] that guides [[Yugi Muto]] and [[Yami Yugi]] through the [[Duel Monster Monsters Spirit World]], as well as the [[Noah's Virtual World|Virtual World]].

Kuriboh is a fun-loving creature, much like [[Yugi Muto]]. Despite its gentle personality, Kuriboh is still useful in battles, even being willing to go up against "[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]". He has also defended Yugi from [[Obelisk the Tormentor (originalanime)|Obelisk]] in Battle City.  [[File:Kuriboh CapsuleMonstersWhen ever someone insults him or Yugi for his having low attack points he either becomes fierce to the point of almost charging, or becomes very melancholy.jpg|thumb|left|Kuriboh in [[Yu-Gi-Oh!

In Ancient Egyptmodern times, after the ''[[Thief BakuraDuel Monsters]] attacked the Pharaoh's place' card "Kuriboh", is based on the Egyptian monster spirit. [[Pharaoh AtemYugi Muto]] and his priests conducted mock battles to strengthen themselves and their ka. During one training battle, [[Priest Seto|SetoYami Yugi]] got his ka, [[Duos]] to mercilessly sacrifice its comrades to become more powerful. As Atem lectured Seto on how true power means never hurting your friends, Seto requested a demonstration use it in many of what he meant by power. He expected Atem to summon a [[Egyptian Gods|God]], but was surprised when he choose Kuriboh. Seto suspected he was being mocked and got Duos to destroy Kuriboh's tablet, before Kuriboh had materialized. However a Kuriboh was then summoned from each fragment of the broken tablet. They proceeded to cover Duos' sword, making it impossible for him to attack, while Atem explained that if you attack without thinking, you losetheir Duels.<ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!

In [[Noah Kaiba]]'s [[Noah's Virtual World|Virtual World]], before [[Yami Yugi]]'s Duel against [[Gansley]], a Kuriboh popped out of his card and made a movement, causing Yami to Yugi accidentally choose it him as his [[Deck Master]].<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|99|ref}}</ref> During the battle, Kuriboh tried communicating with Yami, who could not understand at first, but [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] realized Kuriboh was telling them to [[Set]] "[[Rainbow Blessing]]". As Yami was about to be attacked directly by "[[Ruklamba the Spirit King (anime)|Ruklamba the Spirit King]]", Kuriboh used its Deck Master effect to block the attack. On his next turn, with "Kuriboh" on the field, Yami was able to use "Rainbow Blessing", allowing "[[Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight (anime)|Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight]]" to attack Gansley directly and win. After the Duel, Yami thanked Kuriboh, who smiled and faded away.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|101|ref}}</ref>
