Yusuke Kitagawa (Persona 5)

Yusuke Kitagawa is an occasional background character in Workin' Stiff and Friends, and the main character of Yusuke and Da' Boys!, before that show got cancelled for various reasons. 
== Personality ==
In Persona 5, he is portrayed as being more level-headed than the other members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, although he suffers from Stockholm syndrome, which causes him to be highly judgmental of his art teacher, Madarame. Additionally, he also has the "ability" to summon rain wherever he goes, and since is a bad cook, he makes very bad meals. 
However, his depiction in Workin' Stiff and Friends is vastly different, portraying him as rather unintelligent, as he used to for Company Industries with multiple jobs, including a postman, and other professions that usually always result in him getting fired from his job, but not permanently, as he always got his job back whenever he reappeared again. 
This continued until he worked for WingStop, gaining lots of weight in the process, as he is a big fan of spicy wings and Lousiana Voodoo Fries. He later got enslaved by Ronald McDonald to work at McDonald's, along with Workin' Lazy, Uniqua, Ttark, and Bomb The Mechanic himself. 
==Creation==
Like Joker, Yusuke is one of the many characters found in the 2016 JRPG game, Persona 5. In the game, he is the most mature member, not being very concerned about a phantom thief's life's troubles, but he is concerned about his family, being an orphan, as well as his art career.
== Role in Workin' Stiff and Friends ==
Like Joker, he is a background charater, and only appears very rarely in Workin' Stiff and Friends. 
=== The Toronto Raptors Special ===
In this soon-to-be upcoming episode, he appears as the "Postman" who gives Workin' Stiff his Joker replica mask. He claims that he "has no time for this" after Workin' Stiff brags about his mask.
=== Other Episodes ===
Later in the series, he is shown to have gained weight after he has eaten food from WingStop as a part of his lunch break. He appears in the episodes "Workin' Stiff Goes Back To College" as a background character who appears to be taking Mr. Holmes' engineering course, and "The McDonald's Scandal" as an employee at McDonald's.
== Role in Yusuke and Da' Boys! ==
In Yusuke and Da' Boys!, he was the de-facto main character. Unlike his depiction in Workin' Stiff and Friends, he is never shown as being a part of The Phantom Thieves of Hearts. The reasoning for this is because of his backstory on the offical website of John Tvs. 
In this show, he was protrayed much differently. He was shown to follow Zen, as well as having a fuzzy attitude for the rest of the characters, even Black Doom.
== Trivia ==
* He was given his own series, called Yusuke and Da' Boys!, because John Tvs argued with Flex Central about how Yusuke should be a more major character in the show. Due to this dispute, Flex Central is now the head chief of writing and directing for the series.
**The show got cancelled due to the series taking way too much time to work on, and because of personal issues.
*In the series, he is very noticably fat in later appearances, due to have eaten WingStop while he has worked there as a part of his lunch break.
**This is also due to an ironic joke being made by John Tvs in real-life about how Yusuke would splurge on Red Lobster, thus ganing weight.
***This joke is very minorly referenced in Moral Beaver's Road Trip and its spin-off, Moral Beaver's Road Trip COMIX by having Xaru The Lemur (Whose physical appearance is based on Yusuke Kitagawa, Sasuke Ucicha, Peni Parker, Shun Kazami, and real-life ring-tailed lemurs) be overweight.
****This is due to Xaru The Lemur formely being the gūji of the Shinto religion, before he left to become Christian.
****Funnily enough, Xaru The Lemur was originally going to be called Bub The Kitsune and had even more of a physical appearance resembling Yusuke's.
*He is also the owner of Robotnik, a Pokémon that jumped onto his lap one day after eating a Voodoo Fry.
**Apparently, they are his favorite food.
*He is good friends with Workin' Stiff, Workin' Hard, Workin' Lazy, Uniqua, Bomb The Mechanic, Drew Pickles, Fat Albert, and, most noteably, the main cast of Yusuke and Da' Boys!, as well as Boris Anderson and his pal named Qozak.
**Essentially, like Workin' Stiff, Workin' Hard, Workin' Lazy, and a few others, he is a friend to everybody except the employees of Company Industries, even though he does mean no real harm to them, despite the fact that he has got fired from many jobs.
