Product Information

Cicadian Rhythm: Subverted in the first chapter when Yotsuba climbs a telephone pole and pretends to be a cicada.

Four-Leaf Clover: Yotsuba is named for it, her hair resembles one, and she gives one to Asagi, who also gave one to her mum as a child. Azuma, Kiyohiko (2006). "Chapter 36: Yotsuba & the Bicycle". Yotsuba&!. Volume 6 (in Japanese). Mediaworks. ISBN 978-4-8402-3702-4.Yotsuba Kominato, born on October 22, 1999, grew up in a loving and supportive family in Japan. As a child, she showed a keen interest in singing and dancing, often performing for her family and friends. Her parents encouraged her talents and enrolled her in various extracurricular activities to hone her skills. Yotsuba Kominato is a rising star in the entertainment industry, with an estimated net worth of several hundred thousand dollars. Her popularity continues to grow, thanks to her talent, work ethic, and charming personality. Really, Yotsuba's way of speaking is funny, but may not be one to imitate or use for serious study, especially when you're talking to people you don't have a close relationship with. She seems to imitate her father who speaks very casually, especially with his friends Jumbo and Yanda, who is introduced a little later into the series. For example, Yousuke sometimes refers to his friends as あいつ, which is both masculine and can come across as rude depending on the relationship between you and the person you're talking to. So, just keep in mind — Yotsuba generally speaks like her father, specifically the casual speech he uses with people close to him. Although adults are often more adept at manipulating their way of speaking depending on the situation or whom they are talking to, as a child, Yotsuba's still learning, and she often uses the casual (and masculine) speech style no matter whom she's talking to.

The character of Yotsuba is cited by reviewers as one of the key appeals of Yotsuba&!, especially her energy, enthusiasm, and sense of wonder. For example, one wrote, "Yotsuba’s wide-eyed awe at each discovery, from the idea of a milkman to learning how to catch fish, is both inspiring and infectious. You want to see what happens next, because she continually comes across as genuine without turning into cloying." A reviewer at Anime News Network wrote, "What is really special about Yotsuba, though, is that newness with which she, as a child, sees the world. That the manga allows us to glimpse the world through those same eager eyes is what gives it appeal far beyond its humor." Johanna Draper Carlson, long-time comics reviewer for Publishers Weekly, said that "Yotsuba is a sponge of a character, with infinite possibility as she learns about life. Watching her do so is both fun and funny, and the way she finds enjoyment in everything is inspirational. It creates an infectious feeling of shared joy in the reader." Another claimed that "Yotsuba Koiwai's adventures are... a lucid and charming look at the world through a child's eyes, as she gets into scrapes that remind us all of our own childhoods (if only through manga-tinted glasses)."Yotsuba also gets along well with the mother of the Ayase girls, Mrs. Ayase. Similar to Asagi, she hardly ever loses her temper when dealing with Yotsuba, and though Koiwai constantly worries that Yotsuba is bothering her family, Mrs. Ayase keeps saying that it is all right and "fun" because Yotsuba is so cute. Yotsuba calls her "Mommy", which Mrs. Ayase doesn't seem to find strange at all, though it confuses others. a b Greg McElhatton (24 March 2005). "Yotsuba&! Vol. 1". Read About Comics .

At one point, he flies to Hawaii just to spite her.
