Duel Masters (デュエル・マスターズ Dyueru Masutāzu?) is a franchise based on a manga, anime and a trading card game. There is also a video game.

Shobu Kirifuda is a young boy who likes to play a card game called Duel Masters. He and a few duelists are known to bring the monsters on the cards to life in their duels. Shobu engages in this card game so that he can be the best duelist like his father was.

The Temple Guardians are the elite members of the White Soldiers that work under Hakuoh.

Short for Powerful Loyal Order of Princes, P.L.O.O.P. is an evil organization that plot to use monsters from the Civilizations of the Creature World to take over Earth. This organization is seen only in the "second season" that was created for America. Among the known members are:

The Black Soldiers are a group of duelists that are the opposite form of Hakuoh's White Soldiers. Most of the Black Soldiers consists of duelists that were unable to defeat Hakuoh when wanting to become a member of the White Soldiers. They entered the Battle Arena Tournament to beat all of its players. After the defeat of most of the Black Soldier, most of the unnamed members left the group when Yumama came into view. Besides its various unnamed members, among its known members are:

The Duel Masters manga are written by Shigenobu Matsumoto, and published by Shogakukan in the CoroCoro Comic magazine. The manga series has not been licensed for the U.S., although there has been a North American created comic book by Dreamwave Productions. There are no plans for the Japanese manga to be acquired by any U.S. publishing company.
