A former Professional [[Duelist]] who fell from grace, he is the "boss" of the [[Facility (ARC-V)|Facility]] in the [[Synchro Dimension]], even higher in authority than the local guards.<ref name="ep60" /> Formerly a bitter man from losing to the [[Tops (ARC-V)|Tops]] and being jailed for cheating, after Dueling [[Yuya Sakaki]] and being inspired by his [[Dueltainer]] philosophy, he returned to the joyful person he once was. He is also one of the few Synchro allies of the Lancers who aids them during the Obelisk Force attack and believes in Duel Academy's threat. |

His jaw is large and unshaven, and his hair is shorter than his facial hair. He dresses simply, wearing an olive-green threadbare robe and brown sandals.

He communicates this to his audience with his slogan: "''Dueling is life. You only live once. If there are days you win, there are also days you will lose.

After this, he started spreading his message once more and felt regret at the idea of defeating [[Zuzu Boyle]] and sending her underground, becoming a caring individual again.{{-}} |

He trained young children and broke up fights, encouraging the local population to enjoy their Dueling. He decided to challenge Tops Duelists to Duels, but the stronger cards that they could afford allowed them to defeat Chojiro. The cheers he was used to become boos, driving him to attempt to cheat rather than relying on his famed "miracle draw".<ref name="ep61" /> He was subsequently imprisoned in the [[Facility (ARC-V)|Facility]] ten years before the start of the series.<ref name="ep60" /> |

Later, he had the Security guard bring them to him, and Chojiro's lackeys demanded that Yuya and his friends hand over their cards to him in exchange for good treatment. They refused, and Chojiro showed them the bed-sized stack of cards that he'd claimed over ten years in undefeated Dueling. Disappointed that Yuya wasn't listening to reason, he had the guard bring them [[Duel Disk]]s and challenged Yuya to a Duel. Performing a long combo, Chojiro brought out "[[Cardian - Ameshikou]]" on his first [[turn]]. He was surprised when Yuya performed a [[Pendulum Summon]], wondering if Dueling had advanced to this point in the ten years that he'd been imprisoned, and used "[[No Cheaters Allowed]]" to return the Summoned monsters back to Yuya's [[hand]].<ref name="ep60" /> Yuya played defensively with [[Set]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] as Chojiro skipped his [[Draw Phase]] to continue to inflict [[effect damage|damage]]. When Crow and Shinji observed the change in Chojiro's strategy from the past, Chojiro explained how his outlook had changed. Yuya was able to set up an infinite loop that Chojiro couldn't break with his current [[field]], forcing Chojiro to draw. Chojiro felt himself enjoying the Duel for the first time in years and brought out "[[Cardian - Inoshikacho]]" and reduced Yuya to 200 [[LP]], breaking his loop. With the crowd cheering them on, Yuya was able to break Chojiro's combo and Pendulum Summon the next turn, destroying Chojiro's monsters and winning the Duel. Chojiro remained happy that he'd enjoyed the Duel.<ref name="ep61" /> |

Yuya agreed to join after Shinji convinced him, and Sylvio joined as well. Silvio made the Duel an [[Action Duel]], where [[Action Card|Action]] [[Spell Card]]s were scattered around. Chojiro happily engaged in the Duel and entertained the crowd with his Enjoy Chojiro persona, though Yuya remained unwilling to participate initially. The Duel was plunged into chaos when the Facility guards discovered that Crow, Shinji, and new inmate [[Damon Lopez]] were escaping through the air vents. Chojiro was furious to learn that Yuya was using the Duel to mask an escape attempt, but forgave him after Yuya revealed that he was trying to rescue his friend, [[Zuzu Boyle]]. Chojiro attempted to hold the guards off and buy time for Yuya to escape, but his lackies distracted the guards instead with a shower of rare cards so that Chojiro could escape as well.<ref name="ep62">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|62|ref}}</ref> Silvio led them to the roof, where they were challenged by the [[Arrest Corps]]. Chojiro expressed little patience for Silvio's antics during the chase, though the group were eventually saved by [[Shay Obsidian|Shay]], one of their allies. They attempted to swim from the Facility Island, but were recaptured by [[Jean-Michel Roger]]. Fortunately, the [[Executive Council]] intervened on behalf of [[Declan Akaba]], the leader of the [[Lancers]]. To Chojiro's surprise, his arrest had caused considerable rife among the Commons ten years previously, causing the development of the [[Friendship Cup]]. The Lancers and the escaped prisoners were entered into the Friendship Cup.<ref name="ep63">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|63|ref}}</ref> |
− | Chojiro heard the Commons servants mocking the contestants outside his room, and was preparing to scold them, when he overheard them discussing the [[Underground Labor Facility]] that the defeated contestants were sent to. He reasoned that this was likely true, given similar rumors that he had heard about escaped prisoner during his time at the Facility.

He reasoned that this was likely true, given similar rumors that he had heard about escaped prisoner during his time at the Facility. Bribing his way out of his room with a "[[Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit (anime)|Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit]]" card, he visited Yuya to tell him about the rumor, though he was shocked to learn that the Executive Council could be monitoring them. One of the contestants in the Cup, [[Riley Akaba]], ran in and hugged Yuya, unwilling to participate in the tournament. Chojiro ignored the frantic pleas of his doorman and listened to Declan and Yuya argue over Riley, who was revealed to not want to harm Shinji, his opponent in the Cup. Declan ordered [[Moon Shadow]] to take Riley place. Chojiro's doorman eventually panicked and returned "Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit" to Chojiro, refusing to lose his job. When Yuya tried to get Riley to stay with him rather than Declan, Chojiro cautioned Yuya against forcing Riley to do so against his will in the same manner that Yuya had criticized Declan for and returned to his room.<ref name="ep67">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Feeling sorry about the idea of sending a girl like her to do forced labor underground, he apologized loudly, making Zuzu feel uneasy. During the Duel, Chojiro returned to his past Dueling style with drawing, using the risky "[[Chokoikoi]]" to bring out his "[[Cardian - Ameshikou]]". Saving "Ameshikou" and his [[LP]] from Zuzu's assault with "[[Mozarta the Melodious Maestra (anime)|Mozarta the Melodious Maestra]]", he then turned to an even greater risk with "[[Choshobu]]", putting the Duel at risk if he didn't draw a "[[Cardian]]" with the draw it allowed him. He managed to draw one and proceeded to Summon five "Cardians" and Synchro Summon his "[[Cardian - Gokou]]", [[destroy]]ing "Mozarta" and putting Zuzu in a tight situation with its effects, which negated both Spell Cards and the effects of monsters it battles. Zuzu, however, played around these effects by using "[[Score the Melodious Diva (anime)|Score the Melodious Diva]]" from her hand, turning the tables on "Gokou" and defeating Chojiro. He congratulated her on winning and when she asked if he knew Yuya, he asked her if they were in love, which caused Zuzu to smack him with her fan. Chojiro then recited his motto about people having to enjoy Dueling above all and disposed of his riding suit before leaving the [[Duel Palace]].<ref name="ep69">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Because he used to rely on his [[draw a card|drawing]] skills prior to his incarceration and once cheated to ensure he got the card he needed, he developed an unbeatable combo of using "[[Cardian - Ameshikou]]" to discourage drawing cards by locking down his draw and [[effect damage|damaging]] his opponent. By taking the first [[turn]], and through his [[signature card|ace monster]]'s effect, he never draws any cards, and when he does require drawing cards, he uses [[card effect|effects]] to stack the top of his [[Deck]] so he won't rely on any drawing skills to get what he needs. |
