Also a freshman at Domino High School. Honda is Jounouchi's closest friend. They've known each other since grade school and have been good friends ever since.
Honda and Yuugi's relationship isn't as developed as Anzu's and Jounouchi's, but Honda and Yugi are good friends and he will not hesitate to back Yugi up at any cost.
In the manga, Honda is a bit of a tough guy, like Jounouchi. But in the anime he is portrayed as an honour student.
In the first anime series, Honda is ga-ga over Miho. He thinks of himself as Miho's guardian and will do anything she asks. But poor Honda doesn't realize, that Miho doesn't share the same feelings. He often goes love crazy over Miho and does very stupid things.
