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:
“Slavery is no scholar, no improver; it does not love the whistle of the railroad; it does not love the newspaper, the mail-bag, a college, a book or a preacher who has the absurd whim of saying what he thinks; it does not increase the white population; it does not improve the soil; everything goes to decay.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is easier to get a thousand soldiers than to find one good general.”
—Chinese proverb.
