Yatsuhashi Daichi

Yatsuhashi Daichi is a character from the RWBY series.
== Charactah Account ==
A Beacon Academy student, Yatsuhashi is the tallest member of team CFVY and one of the tallest characters in the show, fighting with a massive zweihander named Fulcrum.
Not much is known about Yatsuhashi's personality, but he does demonstrate his protective nature. In the episode "Breach" when Fox Alistair blows up an Ursa and sends the Grimm's spikes flying, Yatsuhashi shields Velvet Scarlatina from the flying spikes. Velvet also mentions him protecting her during their earlier mission in "Field Trip". Also, in the episode "Lessons Learned", he pushed Coco Adelout of the way when Mercury Black ambushed on them and defended against his attack. When Coco was ensnared and pulled away by Emerald Sustrai, he also desperately called out her name and reached out his hand to her in a futile attempt to save her.
Before the match, Yatsuhashi is seen meditating in the arena next to Coco. Later, he rather bluntly tells Emerald that he can't promise that he won't hurt them during their match. In "Round One", he can be seen briefly posing for two girls at the fairgrounds, flexing and showing off his muscles, possibly indicating a more playful side to his personality.

* While not officially confirmed by Rooster Teeth, it is possible that Yatsuhashi may be based on Quasimodo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame by French novelist Victor Hugo. In Hugo's novel, Quasimodo is a man belittled and feared by others because his hunched back and deformed face give him the appearance of a monster. Meanwhile, After the Fall reveals that Yatsuhashi's gigantism and dangerous semblance led to him being likened to a monster in a similar manner during his childhood.
