Roland

Roland, known as Isono in the Japanese version, is a character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. He is one of the Battle City tournament officials. He appears to be Seto Kaiba's right-hand man and business adviser, as he helps Kaiba manage KaibaCorp. During KaibaCorp-sanctioned tournaments, he also serves as the MC (Master of Ceremonies).

In flashbacks from the manga, it was shown that Roland knew Seto since Gozaburo Kaiba adopted him, and that he was the only one to help him after Gozaburo abused him — thus showing that his and Kaiba’s relationship is more than just the kind between an employer and work employee. He also has a very good connection with Mokuba — making him one of the rare persons who is close to both Kaiba brothers.

In the English dub, Fuguta is once incorrectly called Roland by Mokuba.[2]
