Random Useless Fact: His name [Jounouchi] and Yuugi's name combine to form "yuujou," Japanese for "friendship."

Jounouchi Katsuya and his sister, Shizuka, were separated when their parents were divorced. As a result, he didn't see his mother for seven years. What a bad introduction. Anyhow, when Jounouchi was a teenager, he became one of your classic "street kids"-- he was a gangster and a bully. He teased Mutou Yuugi to death along with his friend, Hiroto Honda.

However, after Yuugi defended him against Ushio, the school bully, Jounouchi became one of Yuugi's closest friends. Soon, they both embarked on a journey to the Duelist Kingdom to defeat Pegasus J. Crawford, ruthless creator of Duel Monsters.

Jounouchi loses to Yuugi in the finals, but gets the prize money to save his sister Shizuka's eyesight anyway. Jounouchi loses in the Battle City Tournament to Malik.

I don't have any caps of baby Jounouchi. These are all from Kokoro no Naka.
