His hat is wrapped in a hinomaru hachimaki in the colors of the Japanese flag, and he wears a white martial arts belt around his waist with similar decorations tied around the top of his boots. He sports rectangular gold pins on his collar, indicating his status as a deputy supervisor, and his name badge is pinned to his left breast. As a guard of building thirteen, he wears a red armband on his left arm,
Personality[]
Yamato is loud and simple-minded in nature, often seen laughing heartily. He is air-headed and clumsy, regularly bursting into both staff rooms and cells in a destructive fashion with little regard for the consequences;[2][3] even Nico refuses to trust him with his belongings despite his high status as a guard, convinced that he will break them.[4] He is absent-minded and has a poor sense of direction, often being late due to losing his way within the prison. He has been known to rely on inmates to find his way on occasion,[5] suggesting that he doesn’t care much for his pride and respects the inmates beneath him. He is a rather polite and formal person, referring to others with the respectable honorific “-dono”.
Yamato is characterized by his love of training and exercise. He is passionate about it to the point of neglecting his duties in order to train, and regularly has inmates partake in his workouts with no regard for their blatant lack of enthusiasm.[6] In spite of this, he is not the least bit aggressive; he prefers to take the most peaceful route possible during battle[7] and is warm, friendly and compassionate towards others.
Yamato is a highly patriotic individual who indulges in Japanese culture with great enthusiasm.[8]
