He also reconstructed Kaiba to make him a semi-lead character and rival to Yugi. Takahashi had originally considered making Kaiba the heir to a gaming company and have him challenge Yugi using strange games he continuously comes up with, but on short notice, ended up having him play Duel Monsters a second time. The story made Takahashi mad, but thought the player would make a good character.
Takahashi's friend asked this person to teach him how to play a card game, but he replied "Hmph! Come back when you've collected 10,000 cards". Kaiba is based on a collectible card games player whom a friend of Kazuki Takahashi met. Kaiba is largely considered an anti-hero, as his motives are usually egocentric and his personality traits are selfish and arrogant, but he does sometimes help Yugi and his friends if it’s in his best interest (although there are a few occasions where he helps Yugi when faced with a common enemy).Īmong one of the recurring plots is Seto Kaiba being forced to deal with either people adversely affected by Gozaburo Kaiba's actions, wanting to take their revenge on Seto himself, or people from within KaibaCorp attempting to take over the million-dollar corporation. To accomplish this goal, he must defeat his arch-rival, Yugi Muto. A competitive businessman and cutthroat investor, Kaiba also seeks to become the world's greatest player in Duel Monsters. With access to vast wealth, technological resources, and a wellspring of scientific and business expertise, Kaiba seeks to expand Kaiba Corp not just across Domino City but the entire world. Nonetheless, an estranged relationship with his adoptive father and outsmarting him auspiciously led Kaiba towards a seamless corporate takeover of KaibaCorp.
An intellectually gifted and innovative computer programmer, engineer, and inventor during his youth, he invented virtual software for playing video games as a young child prodigy. He is the modern-day lookalike counterpart of Priest Seto himself, the original keeper of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.Īdopted into the Kaiba family as an orphan, Kaiba is at the helm of the world’s largest multinational gaming conglomerate, Kaiba Corp, serving as its majority owner and CEO. Seto Kaiba ( 海馬 ( かいば ) 瀬人 ( せと ), Kaiba Seto) is one of the main characters of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime.
