English localised names for Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters characters aliased to their current Japanese tags.

I've struggled to find these in the past, as I'm much more familiar with the English names, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Shouldn't we use English tags for YGO characters though?

For instance, we could use Joey Wheeler instead of Jounouchi Katsuya.

The thought crossed my mind, and it's what I would prefer personally. I don't really have my hand on the pulse of the Yu-Gi-Oh! fandom, though, so I just went with this in the meantime.

If JP -> EN aliases would be received positively, then I'm happy to put in some effort and do that instead.

Personally, I think English copyright names and Japanese character names are good. The english names of the characters comes from the English Dub, DM and GX have most of the characters with alternate names in English dub, which happen less frequently in the following YGO sagas like 5Ds, ARC-V and VRAINS. Changing all names to english version would make it a little inconsistent, becausee because there's a lot of characters that still have their original names untouched in the English dub. That's why I think an alias for them is enough.
