Character Description: Mokuba Kaiba
Mokuba is Seto Kaiba's little brother, and he does not see Seto as the cold-hearted, power-hungry person that other people see. Seto pledged to protect Mokuba after their parents died. They spent most of their lives in a orphanage when they were little. Mokuba looks up to Seto and sticks by his side no matter what. Seto has never failed to try and save Mokuba or risk his life for him.
Mokuba and Seto were orphaned, and their actual surnames are unknown. Seto's mother died after Mokuba was born, and their father died in an accident when Seto was eight. Their relatives used up their inheritance and left them at the orphanage. When the former head of Kaiba Corp, Gozaburo Kaiba, arrived at the orphanage to perform a publicity stunt, Seto saw the chance to challenge him to a game of chess, with Gozaburo forced to adopt Seto and Mokuba should Seto win. Mokuba was five at the time, while Seto was ten.
Seto has a bitter grudge against Yugi Moto for defeating him in a duel but Mokuba still manages to be friends with them. Unlike his brother, Mokuba will ask Yugi and the gang for help when him or Seto are in trouble.
The sweetest thing Mokuba ever did was when Joey, Yugi, Mai, Seto, and himself were stuck in virtual reality. When Seto was about to be killed, Mokuba pushed him out of the way and took the hit. Thankfully Yugi and Seto won the game and Mokuba, Mai, and Joey come back.
Mokuba's spunky, smart, and shares the love for gaming that Seto does. Overall, Mokuba is a small kid with a giant heart. He is currently with Seto in Battle City. His favorite food is chocolate parfait.
Editor's Note: From statements made in the series, it was determined that Seto's age in the English version is 2 years older than his age in the Japanese version. However, it is unclear if Mokuba's age was affected. Does Mokuba remain 5 years younger than his older brother as he is in the Japanese version, thus also shifting his age up by two years, or does he remain the same age as he is in the Japanese version? As far as I know, there has never been sufficient evidence provided to successfully answer that question.

QUESTION: If Seto Kaiba is Mokuba's legal guardian, then he has to be 18. And we all know he's a frigging genius. So WHY is he in Yugi's classroom in the first episode?! All the others are 16! WTF?

Mokuba's a sweetheart. He loves his brother so much. He's like a role model for little brother's everywhere.
He plays such a big part in Seto's life. :) <3 I could just glomp him. XD

I believe that they changed Seto's age so that he could have "custody" of Mokuba, because you have to be at least 18 to be the legal guardian of a child if I'm not mistaken, so I think they left his age alone...

Mokuba is so kawaii. His love is what makes Seto become a nice person, and he is a pretty great character. He is supportive of his Seto and he's always there to inspire him, too. If you ask me, I think Mokuba is inspired by Seto, too. I also think that without Mokuba, the show wouldn't be as great. Mokuba is my favorite character. ^_^ ... show more »

In my oppinion Mokuba is the one who loves so much Seto and I think that he gives to him the power to continue.
AND...Maybe Mokuba is cute,but not so good as Yami Yugi or Joey Wheeler!!!!
