森川智之
is one of the members of Sakuragi's Gang. He is Hanamichi's deputy commander. He is also Hanamichi Sakuragi's best friend from childhood, as well as a skilled fighter. Yohei is the sole member of the gang who is able to help with actual advice, and is also the best fighter out of the four (aside from Sakuragi himself), having beaten up Mitsui all on his own during the gym fight. During the game against Ryonan, Yohei seems to be the only one to realize how Sakuragi felt humiliated after a lopsided loss to Fukuda. He is voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa in Japanese and Travis Ferris in English.
