The White Soldiers (白い騎士団; Shiroi Kishidan; lit. "White Knights") are an elite team of duelists that followed Hakuoh when he held the title of Temple Champion. It was supposedly the strongest team in the world. They were shown on Season 1 and made a cameo in a flashback in "Duel Masters 2.0". Besides it's various unnamed members, among its known and active members are:
- Kintaro Nanba (難波金太郎; Nanba Kintarō)
- Voiced by: Chiyako Shibahara (Japanese), Jay Lerner (English) (Season 1), R. Martin Klein (Season 3)
- A midget who is the former gatekeeper of the Junior Duelist Center. He was discharged by Hakuoh after losing to Shobu (who he had quickly befriended). Nobody knows how old he is and he often carries around a man-purse and an abacus. Kintaro returned in Season Three having regained Hakuoh's friendship. He lost to Extreme Bucketman in the finals.

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or soldiers:
“As a bathtub lined with white porcelain,
When the hot water gives out or goes tepid,
So is the slow cooling of our chivalrous passion,
O my much praised but-not-altogether-satisfactory lady.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“How red the rose that is the soldier’s wound,
The wounds of many soldiers, the wounds of all
The soldiers that have fallen, red in blood,
The soldier of time grown deathless in great size.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
