Hakuoh

Hakuoh's (白凰 Hakuō) name loosely means "White Phoenix", which also reveals what deck theme he uses: the Light Civilization.

Anime
Hakuoh is the strongest duelist shown at the temple. He mainly cards from the Light Civilization in his deck, and is also the leader of the White Soldiers. He never enters tournaments as he is the head of the temple and had never lost a game before Shobu.

In order to duel against Hakuoh, a duelist must obtain 50 tokens from many duelists in a free-for-all challenge and also to defeat the four temple Guardians. Before Hakuoh was turned evil by the Master, he was a nice person and a great duelist who enjoyed playing for fun. After his duel with Shobu where he lost, he joined Shobu's group of friends.

Hakuoh first appeared in episode 6 (Wok on the Wildside) of the first season of the Duel Masters Anime, when he had a match with a duelist from china, To-Ban-Jan. To-Ban-Jan played with a fire civilization deck that was similar to Shobu's deck. Hakuoh managed to defeat To-Ban-Jan easily in their duel.

In season 2 when he was in the Shobu's group he started to also use some of the Nature Civilization and Rainbow Civilization cards in his deck. In the end of this season he lost against Zakira and was brainwashed by Zakira.
