=Character=

Yoshi (it's unknown whether or not this is his real name) is the more mellow member of his group of friends. He is generally naive when it comes to the way things work socially in a high school environment. He's extremely optimistic and is rarely seen not smiling, a trait that somewhat freaks out his friends. While shy around new people, once he's accepted someone as a friend, he's been known to talk nonstop to them. He loves acting and has been president of the drama club since eight grade.

=In the Story=

Yoshi is a more minor character within chapter one of "Life as an Ex-Reality TV Show Contestant", only appearing as an unnamed Asian boy during homeroom and lunch, mostly because he is not in Gwen's classes and stays quiet during the confrontation between Heather and Christin. He is formally introduced in chapter 2, displaying his naivette as he mentions being confused over Heather's overreaction in the lunchroom the previous day, and again during lunch when Heather "accidentally" spills her milk on Christin. This optimism and naivette seems to put him at opposite foils with pessimistic Lucas, as shown by Lucas' sarcastic comments in retort to Yoshi's naive ones.

=Relationships=

Christin- Christin is shown to be friends with Yoshi from the time he is introduced onwards. Although not stated in the story, it is likely they became friends due to their similar innocence and mellow personalities.

Han- Han and Yoshi are shown to be friends since the beginning of the story, in spite of their opposite personalities.

Samantha- Yoshi and Samantha are apparently friends from the story's beginning, though their direct interaction is limited.

Andrea- Yoshi and Andrea are apparently friends, though they are not often seen interacting.

Lucas- Though both are included in their group of friends, Lucas and Yoshi themselves do not seem to get along, often playing opposite foils of each other.

Heather- Like everyone within Christin's group of friends, Yoshi and Heather dislike each other, though Yoshi is much less violent with this dislike. As opposed to his friends direct and powerful retorts against Heather, Yoshi keeps his thoughts to himself, only mentioning to his friends that she is "really mean".
