Yokota

**Yokota** is a character in the Pet series, and a friend to Kenji. Stating that he was leaving for Bali, he took measures to report Katsuragi to the police, and had his mind tampered with to willingly drive off a cliff.

## Appearance

He has thick light sage colored hair, styled outwards from his face, with same colored short eyebrows. Yokota has small green eyes and an overall burly physique.

For clothes he is seen wearing a white T-shirt.

## Personality

Willing to take part in illicit activities, Yokota consider changing to make an honest living. He had an interest in diving and in opening a bar. He expressed a childlike happiness when driving likely as a result of his mind being tampered with. In the past he was shocked at witnessing Katsuragi and Satoru before him.

## History

   Spotting Kenji on a date with a woman he went out with brings them to a fight. This memory is exploited to have Yokota ask Kenji when he first began to work for Katsuragi.

When he figured out what Katsuragi was doing, he went to the police but was approached by Katsuragi and Satoru. He was asked whether Kenji is really that important to him.

## Story

He is remembered when he mentioned going to Bali for two or three years to Kenji. Whether the case or not, at night by a harbour, Yokota is making driving noises to himself in a stationary car and somewhat oblivious to Katsuragi and Satoru with him.

Understanding that he is to drive one hundred miles an hour, and very much wanting to take to the skies as Satoru suggests. Ready, he joyfully states all onboard the steam train and speeds off. Happy all along the drive down the tunnel, and unaware that Kenji is driving behind him, Yokota emerges and ploughs right through the traffic barrier off the edge of a drop where his car detonates.

It is remembered that Yokota raised something else he and Kenji saw when retrieving counterfeit bills from the bottom of the water.

When Tsukasa and Hiroki delve through Kenji's memories, they witness Yokota as a key part of them. Emerging from a diving event, he shares details on his younger brother with Kenji.

Yokota wanting to open a bar with Kenji in his original peak is remembered by Hiroki when he considers how his feelings have been intertwined as a result of Hiroki's weak lock.
