Hakuoh is a character in the Duel Masters anime and manga series.

His name loosely translates to "White Phoenix", which also reveals what deck theme he uses: the Light Civilization.

Hakuoh is the strongest duelist shown at the temple. He mainly uses 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 used a fire civilization deck that was similar to Shobu's deck. Hakuoh managed to defeat To-Ban-Jan easily in their duel.

Deck

Hakuoh's deck is focused on Light civilization creatures, summoning creatures with high power and the Blockerability as well as tapping opponent creatures.

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

He was then told about the tragic story of his mother, and how Shobu's group was the cause of everything and that Shobu's group was also holding him back.

In Season 3, he appeared in the persona known as "White", and started to use Darkness Civilization cards in his deck.

Season 1

Urth and Hanusa were cards that were gifted to him from his mother, as well as his main trump cards.

Sacred Lands

In the English season 2 of Duel Masters, Hakuoh's deck was more based on evolution creatures such as Alcadeias, Lord of Spirits, Kuukai, Finder of Karma and Craze Valkyrie, the Drastic, though he kept most of the cards from his season 1 deck, the only additions he made being:

Duel Masters Charge

In the Duel Masters Charge season, Hakuoh changes his deck a few times.

His tournament deck began as Light and Water File:Blockericon.jpg Blocker deck based on summoning Alcadeias.

Later in the series, when he was able to duel again, Hakuoh began to use Light and Nature cards.

However, when he turned into White and dueled Kokujo, he added Cross Gears into his deck.

Arissa, Apostle of the Holy Strike
Rustle, Apostle of the Waltz
Jil Warka, Time Guardian
Proteus, Spirit of Holy Force
Shining Defense
Punish Hold
Hunter, the Invoked
Octillion Force
Grand Cross Catastrophe

Corteo, Spirit Knight
Five Star, Spirit of Luck

At the end of Season 4, he started to use a new deck based on DMC-46 Arcadias Knights. This deck also featured various cards from Darkness Civilization, as well as multicolored Light and Darkness creatures.

In the middle of the 5th season, Hakuoh was saved by Shobu's group. After being saved, he changed his deck back to the light civilization and used a DMC-50 Perfect Angel deck. He used the Perfect Angel deck and managed to defeat Zakira and promised to Shobu and the group to always be a part of their group, and to become stronger.

Similar to the others in the group, Hakuoh started to use Psychic Creatures and Hyperspatial spells in season 6.
