| − | '''Mendo Cino''' is a [[Card Professor]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! R]]''.
| |

| − | ==Design==
| |
| − | ===Appearance===
| |
| − | Cino is a muscular man with neck-length light hair. He wears a turban, a sleeveless trenchcoat over a bare chest, bandages wrapped around his midsection, black pants, and pointed white shoes. He also wears a jeweled necklace and carries a KaibaCorp Duel Disk on his left arm.
| |

| − | ===Personality===
| |
| − | In comparison to his fellow Card Professors, Mendo is less arrogant regarding his own skills and more arrogant concerning the skills of his ''opponent''. He believed that [[Katsuya Jonouchi (manga)|Katsuya Jonouchi]] wasn't worth his time to Duel solely due to the low bounty on his head (despite the fact that it had been rising from the moment he entered the building). First hand experience does change these views; he expressly admitted that Jonouchi was doing well during their Duel, though still believed he had the match won.

| − | ===Etymology===
| |
| − | "Mendocino" is also a pre-release codename for the 300 MHz P6 Intel Pentium II Centrino chip.

| − | ==Biography==
| |
| − | Cino was hired with many other [[card professor]]s to guard the [[R.A. Project]] by [[Yako Tenma]]. He was disappointed that he met up with [[Katsuya Jonouchi (manga)|Katsuya Jonouchi]], as the reward for beating him was only $500, while the reward for beating [[Yugi Mutou (manga)|Yugi Mutou]] was $2,000,000. Insulted, Jonouchi suggested that Mendo just hand over the card key if he didn't want to Duel. Mendo answered that he couldn't, as Yako's orders were to defeat any other Duelists that accompanied the Duel King; if he did defeat Jonouchi, he'd get the chance to Duel Yugi. Calling Jonouchi a "cheap Duelist", they began their Duel.

| − | Mendo gained an advantage with his combination of "[[Dreadscythe Harvester (manga)|Dreadscythe Harvester]]" and "[[Labor Pain]]", but Jonouchi counters with "[[Jinzo (manga)|Jinzo]]".<ref name="chp12">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! R|12|ref}}</ref> Mendo complimented Jonouchi on doing his best and even admitted he was surprised at the appearance of "Jinzo" and was actually having fun. Jonouchi turned the Duel around using "[[Shield & Sword (anime)|Shield & Sword]]" and "[[Time Machine (manga)|Time Machine]]" and ultimately defeated Mendo. Mendo was shocked that such a tough Duelist would only be worth $500.<ref name="chp13">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! R|13|ref}}</ref>

| − | ==Deck==
| |
| − | Mendo uses a '''[[Mantis]]''' Deck. He uses "[[Labor Pain]]" to put a cost on [[Normal Summon]]ing, while using "[[Mantis Egg]]" to [[Special Summon]] tokens for himself to use as [[Tribute]]s for his "[[Dreadscythe Harvester (manga)|Dreadscythe Harvester]]," effectively bypassing the effects of his own Spell Card.
