Yokoo Shun (横尾 瞬) is one-half of the Yokoo and Satou duo, a pair of third-year middle school students at Kamome Academy’s Middle School Division. He is a close friend of Minamoto Kou, along with Satou Yomogi, and the three are often seen together. Yokoo first appears in Chapter 18, playing a minor but recurring role as one of Kou’s schoolmates.
Personality
Appearance in Anime
Yokoo has a cheerful and easygoing disposition, often seen smiling and maintaining a relaxed attitude. His friendly nature makes him a welcoming presence among his peers.
He has a strong interest in sports, as confirmed in Houkago Shounen Hanako-kun, where he is introduced as “Kou’s friend who likes sports.” He is often depicted running or playing soccer, showcasing his active lifestyle. A unique quirk in his speech is the tilde (~) at the end of his sentences, which gives him a casual and playful tone.
Despite his love for sports, he does not get along well with his older sister, Yokoo Minami, who is known as a sports ace. The reason for their strained relationship remains unclear, but it contrasts with his otherwise sociable and upbeat personality.
