Personality

He is pretty carefree, seen usually with a big smile on his face, and is rarely shown angry or sad.
Despite his love of training, he is shown to prefer peaceful methods and is smarter than he seems. He is a hardcore Japanese person and indulges in Japanese culture. Yamato is very skilled in calligraphy having a Masters teaching license in calligraphy. He's a very loud extrovert and tends to do what he wants, at one point riding a horse into Cell 13's prison cell and destroying the wall. He has shown to care for the inmates, at one point saving Rock and Uno after Jyugo goes on a rampage. He tends to go with the flow of things and can be easily influenced, though he claims to always be serious. Out of all the inmates, he is arguably closest to Rock since the two are both stupidly strong, loud, and outgoing.
