===Personality===
Yamamoto is the type of character that can make friends with everyone, and if not friendship, then at least respect. Characters like [[Kyoya Hibari|Hibari]] have been shown to have interest in Yamamoto's battles, and Squalo has also shown to have interest in his development to the point of willingly tutoring him. However, Yamamoto can become angry when his friends are hurt or injured. He is also willing to sacrifice things important to him to save his friends from danger, as shown in the Kokuyo Arc. where he sacrificed an arm (right before an important baseball game) to defeat [[Ken]]; and when [[Squalo]] asked him whether he would choose baseball or the sword, he chose the sword in order to protect those he cared about.

In school his grades are around the same as Tsuna's because of his focus on baseball. However, it is shown that once he sits down and actually learns the theory, he can do any problem easily. Despite not being smart academically wise, he has shown an inner wisdom and tact belaying his age. This was shown when he scolded Gokudera on being a proper right-hand man. He has the tendency to believe that everything is a game, including the Vongola which he believes to be some sort of 'mafia role-playing game'. His future self, however, seems to have finally acknowledged the reality of the situation. 
   
 
Despite his easy-going personality, Yamamoto has shown that he has hidden talent as a hitman. In fact, [[Reborn (character)|Reborn]] clearly sees Yamamoto's potential and often mentions to [[Tsunayoshi Sawada|Tsuna]] that Yamamoto is a natural born hitman, mentioning as well that he is the best athlete in the entire Vongola Famiglia. His fast reflexes and athletically conditioned-body give him a natural advantage and he is shown to be able to dodge cannon fire and wayward fireworks. Yamamoto is also a quick learner, remembering all 8 forms of the [[Shigure Soen Ryu]] despite only being shown once. He also manages to develop a new form of the style, the 9th form, in a life-or-death situation.

[[File:Yama_vs_Ken.PNG|thumb|250px|Ken breaks Yamamoto's bat]]During the [[Kokuyo Gang]]'s attacks, Yamamoto was ranked second strongest in [[Namimori]] Middle. When [[Chikusa Kakimoto]] attacked [[Gokudera]], Tsuna and Yamamoto came to his aid, leading to Chikusa's retreat. Later, Yamamoto joined the group in the attack on the Kokuyo Gang and was ambushed by [[Ken]], causing the two to end up trapped underground. Disadvantaged due to both his broken bat and Ken's ability to smell him, Yamamoto was unwilling to be hurt because this was right before an important baseball match; however, once Tsuna was in danger, he sacrificed his arm to beat Ken. Later when [[Lanchia]] attacked the group, Yamamoto was able to figure out the secret to his chain ball attack but was overpowered none the less and knocked unconscious.

In the Future, Yamamoto led Tsuna and Gokudera to the Vongola Base where they met with [[Reborn]] who revealed that Yamamoto's dad was killed by the [[Millefiore]]. Later while searching for the other Guardian's Yamamoto, Tsuna and Gokudera found adult [[I-Pin]], Lambo and [[Haru Miura]] and [[Kyoko Sasagawa]] being attacked by [[Millefiore]] members, [[Nosaru]] and [[Tazaru]], however before he could fight them Yamamoto was swapped with his past self. After having the future situation explained, Yamamoto (along with Tsuna and Gokudera) was taught how to use [[Box Weapon]]'s by [[Lal Mirch]]. Yamamoto later went to follow up a lead at Namimori Shrine with Gokudera. They then encountered [[Gamma]] who Gokudera initially took on alone refusing to cooperate with Takeshi and was easily overpowered. However even when they worked together, Gamma's experience far outmatched them both. The two were then saved by the adult Hibari. After he recovered, Yamamoto began training with Reborn who also gave Yamamoto a DVD made by Squalo, titled 'The Road to becoming the Swords Emperor' which included 100 battles that Squalo won. After developing new techniques from the video Yamamoto was successfully able to slice Reborn's hat. [[File:Genkishi_vs_Yama.png|thumb|left|284px|Yamamoto is overwhelmed by Genkishi's illusions]] Reborn then told Yamamoto about the secret of the [[Arcobaleno]], but asked him not to tell anyone else until after they defeated the Millefiore.

Yamamoto joined the others for the invasion of the [[Melone Base]]. Yamamoto, along with Lal (who had been knocked unconscious during a fight), were separated from the others. Yamamoto then encountered [[Genkishi]] who he recognized from Squalo's video. Despite making him draw his sword, Yamamoto was overpowered by Genkishi's Illusions. After he was knocked out he was once again saved by Hibari. Later Yamamoto along with the other Guardians was given a Vongola Box.

Asari then declared that Yamamoto had failed his test, but agreed to give him a second chance, though he refused to give a reason for his decision. Back at the shrine the next day, Yamamoto fought Asari again and used the same opening as before. However, he decided in the end not to attack, to which Asari declared that he had passed the test. Asari explained that he set up the attack to see if Yamamoto would attack a defenseless man. Later, when the girls were captured by [[Daemon Spade]], Yamamoto attempted a rescue with the other Guardians. He was separated with the others and fought the doppelganger created by Spade. The illusion was then broken by Hibari's rampage.

[[File:Yamamoto saves Karou.png|thumb|left|Yamamoto saves Kaoru from Daemon's attack]][[File:Hospitalizing_Devil_Kaoru.jpg|thumb|156px|Yamamoto is attacked by Kaoru]]At baseball practice, Yamamoto became friendly with [[Kaoru Mizuno]], one of the [[Simon Middle School]]transfer students. After the Simon revealed themselves as allies, Yamamoto and Kaoru were assigned to protect Tsuna. When he discovered that Kaoru became nervous when people watched him play baseball, Yamamoto made everyone watching wear vegetable costumes, so that Kaoru wouldn't feel self-conscious. Kaoru then impressed Yamamoto by throwing the ball so fast that it seemed to have disappeared. Later in the changing room, Yamamoto jokingly suggested that the Simon were trying to get rid of the Vongola after seeing their plans. Kaoru responded by violently attacking Yamamoto and leaving him in a critical state. However, Yamamoto was able to write the word "Sin" using his own blood before falling unconscious, alerting the Vongola of the Simon's plans. Ryohei then found him and, after failing to heal him with Garyuu, took him to the hospital for operations. The doctor revealed that he would live, but the probability of him walking again was extremely low. In later chapters, after Lambo managed to defeat Ooyama Rauji, Yamamoto is shown in the hospital still wired to machines. Byakuran is then seen standing before him, wings spread from his back.

Yamamoto called Kaoru an "idiot" for doing that, but said it was in his own will to help his Famiglia and friends. After that, Kaoru was taken by the Vindice and the Fifth "Key" was later revealed. Yamamoto was enraged at the fact that Daemon used the Simon Famiglia as his pawns and decided to fight him one on one, saying that Tsuna should take a break. This is also the first time that Yamamoto is willing to kill someone, when he usually wants to just defeat them.

Yamamoto managed to pinpoint Daemon's location and strike him with his new technique, Udachi: Kirisame, and injured Daemon in the process. However, Chrome interfered and refused to move when Yamamoto asked her to until Daemon ordered her to step down. Before they left, Yamamoto handed Chrome the Ore of Mist Version X and said that they will always be waiting for her. Yamamoto soon fell to his knees (since he was not fully recovered) and decided to take a rest for a night as he told Tsuna and the others that Byakuran was the one who healed him.

Character Outline

Takeshi Yamamoto (山本 武, Yamamoto Takeshi), addressed as "Yamamoto" by almost everyone in the series, has a warm and friendly personality and is rarely seen not smiling. He is, however, very naive to the point of believing that Reborn's Weapons are advanced kid's toys and that the mafia business is one big cops-and-robbers game.

Yamamoto's portrayal in the story is that of a stereotypical Japanese teenager; his name "Takeshi" and surname "Yamamoto" are both common Japanese names, his looks are quite ordinary for a Japanese teenager, he is a big fan of baseball (a popular sport in Japan), his family owns a sushi store, and later in the story, he uses a katana (a Japanese sword).

Future Yamamoto has shown to have learned everything about the Mafia and seems to be okay with it.

Personality

Yamamoto is the type of character that can make friends with everyone, and if not friendship, then at least respect. Characters like Hibari have been shown to have interest in Yamamoto's battles, and Squalo has also shown to have interest in his development to the point of willingly tutoring him. However, Yamamoto can become angry when his friends are hurt or injured. He is also willing to sacrifice things important to him to save his friends from danger, as shown in the Kokuyo Arc. where he sacrificed an arm (right before an important baseball game) to defeat Ken; and when Squalo asked him whether he would choose baseball or the sword, he chose the sword in order to protect those he cared about. 

In school his grades are around the same as Tsuna's because of his focus on baseball. However, it is shown that once he sits down and actually learns the theory, he can do any problem easily. Despite not being smart academically wise, he has shown an inner wisdom and tact belaying his age. This was shown when he scolded Gokudera on being a proper right-hand man. He has the tendency to believe that everything is a game, including the Vongola which he believes to be some sort of 'mafia role-playing game'. His future self, however, seems to have finally acknowledged the reality of the situation. 

Despite his easy-going personality, Yamamoto has shown that he has hidden talent as a hitman. In fact, Reborn clearly sees Yamamoto's potential and often mentions to Tsuna that Yamamoto is a natural born hitman, mentioning as well that he is the best athlete in the entire Vongola Famiglia. His fast reflexes and athletically conditioned-body give him a natural advantage and he is shown to be able to dodge cannon fire and wayward fireworks. Yamamoto is also a quick learner, remembering all 8 forms of the Shigure Soen Ryu despite only being shown once. He also manages to develop a new form of the style, the 9th form, in a life-or-death situation.

Future Yamamoto still shows a bit of his easy-going self but has become more mature and serious. In terms of personality, Yamamoto resembles the First Vongola Rain Guardian Ugetsu Asari, something the latter acknowledges.

Plot Overview

Daily Life Arc

In the manga, Yamamoto asked Tsuna for advice because he was worried about his baseball abilities getting worse, and ended up breaking his arm because he took it. He thought his career in baseball was the only thing he was good at, and planned to end his life. He was just about to jump from the roof top of Namimori Middle School when Tsuna came into the scene. Tsuna convinced him that he had much more potential, and then tried to run away, but Yamamoto grabbed him, causing the two of them to fall off the roof. Their lives has been saved because Reborn shot Tsuna with the Dying Will Bullet, and he performed a "Mid-Air Reborn." In the anime, however the two became friends through a volleyball match.

Kokuyō Arc

Yama vs Ken

Ken breaks Yamamoto's bat

During the Kokuyo Gang's attacks, Yamamoto was ranked second strongest in Namimori Middle. When Chikusa Kakimoto attacked Gokudera, Tsuna and Yamamoto came to his aid, leading to Chikusa's retreat. Later, Yamamoto joined the group in the attack on the Kokuyo Gang and was ambushed by Ken, causing the two to end up trapped underground. Disadvantaged due to both his broken bat and Ken's ability to smell him, Yamamoto was unwilling to be hurt because this was right before an important baseball match; however, once Tsuna was in danger, he sacrificed his arm to beat Ken. Later when Lanchia attacked the group, Yamamoto was able to figure out the secret to his chain ball attack but was overpowered nonetheless and knocked unconscious.

Varia Arc

Yama vs Squalo

Yamamoto uses the eighth form on Squalo

A month later, Yamamoto, along with Gokudera and Tsuna, were defeated by the Varia henchman Squalo, who was chasing the Vongola messenger Basil. Later, Yamamoto was chosen as the Vongola Rain Guardian and was given a half Vongola Ring. He then asked for sword training from his father in preparation for the Varia's arrival. His father scorned him for treating it like a game but still taught him the eight forms of the deadly Shigure Soen Style. Later in the week, Ryohei, Yamamoto, and Gokudera defended Lambo from the Levi Lightning Squad. In the Rain Ring Battle Yamamoto was set to fight Squalo again. Before the fight, Yamamoto was warned by Dino that Squalo may have already defeated the Shigure Soen Style, though Yamamoto remained determined to use it. Squalo did indeed know the style and used it against Yamamoto. In the end, however, Yamamoto won by creating his own technique in the middle of the battle. A shark was then let loose as part of the match, and, although Yamamoto tried to save him, Squalo was pulled into the water. During the Sky Ring Battle, Yamamoto was cured of the poison by Hibari. Yamamoto devised a cunning plan to rescue Chrome but it backfired when they were caught in Mammon's illusions and were ultimately saved by Ryohei. Later the Vongola Guardians forced the remaining Varia to surrender and Yamamoto was relieved to hear that Squalo had been saved by Dino.

Future Arc

Future Yamamoto

In the Future, Yamamoto led Tsuna and Gokudera to the Vongola Base where they met with Reborn who revealed that Yamamoto's dad was killed by the Millefiore. Later while searching for the other Guardian's Yamamoto, Tsuna and Gokudera found adult I-Pin, Lambo and Haru Miura and Kyoko Sasagawa being attacked by Millefiore members, Nosaru and Tazaru, however before he could fight them Yamamoto was swapped with his past self. After having the future situation explained, Yamamoto (along with Tsuna and Gokudera) was taught how to use Box Weapon's by Lal Mirch. Yamamoto later went to follow up a lead at Namimori Shrine with Gokudera. They then encountered Gamma who Gokudera initially took on alone refusing to cooperate with Takeshi and was easily overpowered. However even when they worked together, Gamma's experience far outmatched them both. The two were then saved by the adult Hibari. After he recovered, Yamamoto began training with Reborn who also gave Yamamoto a DVD made by Squalo, titled 'The Road to becoming the Swords Emperor' which included 100 battles that Squalo won. After developing new techniques from the video Yamamoto was successfully able to slice Reborn's hat.

Genkishi vs Yama

Yamamoto is overwhelmed by Genkishi's illusions

Reborn then told Yamamoto about the secret of the Arcobaleno, but asked him not to tell anyone else until after they defeated the Millefiore.

Yamamoto joined the others for the invasion of the Melone Base. Yamamoto, along with Lal (who had been knocked unconscious during a fight), were separated from the others. Yamamoto then encountered Genkishi who he recognized from Squalo's video. Despite making him draw his sword, Yamamoto was overpowered by Genkishi's Illusions. After he was knocked out he was once again saved by Hibari. Later Yamamoto along with the other Guardians was given a Vongola Box.

Arcobaleno Trials Arc

When returning to the past for the Arcobaleno Trials, Yamamoto was chosen, along with Tsuna and Ryohei, to take part in Mammon's Test of Adaptability. Under the belief that Kyoko was being held hostage, the trio were forced to solve a series of riddles as well as fight a number of Box Weapons. Yamamoto was able to see through most of the illusions thanks to his experience fighting Genkishi. After discovering that Kyoko was safe, they swiftly defeated Mammon and passed his trial. Later Yamamoto and the other Guardians were assembled for Reborn's Trial of Leadership and were easily beaten by him. Shortly after, the Guardians joined forces with the other Arcobaleno, to defeat Verde and his army.

Choice Arc

Pouring Rain

Yamamoto defeats Genkishi

When Squalo arrived at the base, he began training Yamamoto and while in the woods, Yamamoto decided to follow the path of the sword devotedly while in the future. Yamamoto was included in the Choice battle during which he encountered Saru, who quickly revealed himself to be Genkishi, who Yamamoto was able to defeat using his new Vongola Box. While lying injured Genkishi was killed by Kikyo. Yamamoto then went to attack the Millefiore target Daisy and defeated him at the same time as Kikyo defeated Irie. However because of Daisy's undying power, the Vongola lost.

Inheritance Succession Arc

Yamamoto Gaining Asari's Power

Yamamoto gaining Ugetsu Asari's power

After being sent back to the past for the Inheritance Succession Trials, Colonnello became Yamamoto's tutor. During his test, Yamamoto assumed it was a fight and began to attack Asari. During the fight, Yamamoto noticed an opening in one of Asari's attacks and used it to strike him but Colonnello steps in to try to prevent Yamamoto from attacking.

Asari then declared that Yamamoto had failed his test, but agreed to give him a second chance, though he refused to give a reason for his decision. Back at the shrine the next day, Yamamoto fought Asari again and used the same opening as before. However, he decided in the end not to attack, to which Asari declared that he had passed the test. Asari explained that he set up the attack to see if Yamamoto would attack a defenseless man. Later, when the girls were captured by Daemon Spade, Yamamoto attempted a rescue with the other Guardians. He was separated with the others and fought the doppelganger created by Spade. The illusion was then broken by Hibari's rampage.

Future Final Battle Arc

Squalo remained at the Vongola Base to fight Zakuro but was caught in an explosion. Later, Yamamoto went back to rescue him with Bianchi, Spanner and Giannini. During the final battle against the Real Six Funeral Wreaths, Yamamoto arrived in time to defend Ryohei and Gokudera from Ghost. The Vongola eventually defeated Byakuran and after saying goodbye to Squalo, Yamamoto and the others returned to the past.

Inheritance Ceremony Arc

Hospitalizing Devil Kaoru

Kaoru attacks Yamamoto

At baseball practice, Yamamoto became friendly with Kaoru Mizuno, one of the Simon Middle School transfer students. After the Simon revealed themselves as allies, Yamamoto and Kaoru were assigned to protect Tsuna. When he discovered that Kaoru became nervous when people watched him play baseball, Yamamoto made everyone watching wear vegetable costumes, so that Kaoru wouldn't feel self-conscious. Kaoru then impressed Yamamoto by throwing the ball so fast that it seemed to have disappeared.

A day before the ceremony, in the changing room, Yamamoto jokingly suggested that the Simon were trying to get rid of the Vongola after accidently seeing a paper with Vongola crest crossed. Kaoru responded by violently attacking Yamamoto and leaving him in a critical state. However, Yamamoto was able to write the word "Sin" using his own blood before falling unconscious, alerting the Vongola of the Simon's plans. Ryohei then found him and, after failing to heal him with Kangaryuu, took him to the hospital for operations. The doctor revealed that he would live, but the probability of him walking again was extremely low. In later chapters, after Lambo managed to defeat Ooyama Rauji, Yamamoto is shown in the hospital still wired to machines. Byakuran is then seen standing before him, wings spread from his back.

He later reappears with back to full health to save Kaoru from being killed by Daemon Spade. When Kaoru asked

Yamamoto saves Karou

Yamamoto Saves Kaoru

why Yamamoto saved him after he tried to kill him, Yamamoto replies that he would always help Kaoru if he were in real trouble, because that's what friends are for.

Daemon, quite confused, asked why he was here, knowing that Yamamoto should be in a critical condition. Yamamoto replied that an "acquaintance" of his helped him recover. Tsuna, looking worried, stated that he doesn't have his Vongola Gear. Upon hearing this, Yamamoto revealed under his coat his Rain

Necklace Version X. He called out Jirou and Kojirou to merge to Cambio Forma, resulting in the "Two-sword style Vongola Gear". At the beginning of the battle, Daemon launched a surprise attack behind Yamamoto. The attack was blocked by Kaoru, who said that he knew Yamamoto could dodge it on his own, but wanted to pay his debt. After that, Kaoru was taken by the Vindice as he already lost his pride, and the Fifth "Key" was later revealed, but not before asking Yamamoto to keep becoming his friend. Enraged at Daemon, Yamamoto decided to fight him one on one, saying that Tsuna should take a break. Yamamoto managed to pinpoint Daemon's location and strike him with his new technique, Udachi: Kirisame, and injured Daemon in the process. However, Chrome interfered and refused to move when Yamamoto asked her to until Daemon ordered her to step down. Before they left, Yamamoto handed Chrome the Ore of Mist Version X and said that they will always be waiting for her. Yamamoto soon fell to his knees (since he was not fully recovered) and decided to take a rest for a night as he told Tsuna and the others that Byakuran was the one who healed him.

At the day of the Simon Rings' awakening, Yamamoto watches the fight between Tsuna and Enma and after that goes with the group to encounter Mukuro after he suopposed to have defeated Daemon. When Daemon reappears by possessing Mukuro's body. He gets trapped in an illusionary world like the others thanks to Daemon but he manages to save Chrome from being trapped. After Tsuna and Enma's final showdown with Daemon, he is released and receives the final 'key' like the others. A week later, he is seen playing baseball with Kaoru at Namimori Middle's baseball field.

Chrome's Transfer

Yamamoto appears with Tsuna at Chrome's welcoming party because Chrome was kicked out of Kokuyo Land. In the miming competition, he isn't seen performing, but laughs at the people's performances.

Later, Yamamoto appears the day before Tsuna's father Iemitsu arrives in Namimori, commenting to Tsuna that he was excited to be fighting for Reborn to allow him to revert to his adult form, though he couldn't imagine what it was like

1st Day of Representative Battle of the Rainbow

Later, on the first day of the Representative Battle of the Rainbow, Yamamoto happily heads to school with Tsuna. However, when the battle suddenly starts, he, Gokudera, and Ryohei group up and try to find Tsuna. When an explosion occurs because of Tsuna being punched through the ceiling by Iemitsu (though they don't know the cause), they run towards the explosion; however, they are barred by Hibari and Fon, the former appearing to be Fon's representative, who states that he would bite all three of them to death. Ryohei charges towards Hibari but his battle watch is quickly broken. Yamamoto and Gokudera attack Hibari together and use a smoke bomb to get past him. They soon re-group at Namimori Diner where they find out Dino made a deal with Iemitsu stating they would become allies and in return he wouldn't destroy Tsuna's Boss watch.

2nd Day of Representative Battle of the Rainbow

After discussing the situation during the first day battle with Team Yuni, their atches announced the start of the second battle and they were ambushed by Team Verde. During this time, Team Collonnelo broke the alliance with Team Reborn due to Tsuna's refusal to leave Team Yuni. As the result, Byakuran's boss watch was destroyed while protecting Tsuna, and Tsuna immediately went to where Iemitsu is. With Byakuran defeated and Tsuna left the scene, Mukuro and Flan decides to retreat. Yamamoto and Gokudera tried to stop him, but Mukuro able to escape. Yamamoto then suggested for them to go to Tsuna and Iemitsu by riding a nearby bicycle that boosted by Gokudera's dynamites to increase the speed. Unfortunately, the time limit already over by the time they arrived.

Vindice Ambush

While the Arcobaleno are having a meeting regarding Team Bermuda's participance, they were ambushed by a Vindice outside the battle time and struggle against him. They able to hold up until Reborn arrives, making the Vindice retreat. When they were about to sleep after exhausted from the battle, their watches announces the start of the third battle, not giving them any time to rest.

3rd Day of Representative Battle of the Rainbow

He, Tsuna, Gokudera, and Reborn went to nearby park and encounter Mukuro who later followed by his subordinates.

With their teamwork, they able to rip off the Vindice's robes and witness their true forms along with stone pacifier hanging around their neck. When they restarted the battle, Yamamoto was easily defeated by Jaque, as well as Gokudera, Ken, and Chikusa, leaving only Mukuro and Tsuna to fight. After the third day battle is over, he and Gokudera were taken to hospital.

4th Day of Representative Battle of the Rainbow

Yamamoto, Gokudera, Chrome, and Flan are fighting against Small Gia and Big Pino who were originally after Team Verde that revealed to be decoy puppets. Small Gia and Big Pino able to find out their hiding place and destroy the illusions along with Yamamoto's Shigure Kintoki and Gokudera's Sistema C.A.I. They were about to be killed until Enma saved them with his technique. Tsuna, Enma, and Basill arrives and fought Small Gia and Big Pino. Basil's battler watch was destroyed, enraging Tsuna who attacks, but then his vision was blinded by Small Gia's flash, causing him to hit the flash and momentarily blinded his vision. Before Small Gia could proceed, Yamamoto restrains him from behind while Gokudera distracts Big Pino as each of them holding dynamites. With Enma, Chrome, and Flan's help, they able to destroy the two Vindice's battler watches without harming both Yamamoto and Gokudera.

Relationships

Tsunayoshi Sawada

Yamamoto thinks Tsuna is amazing and treats him as a very close friend after the latter saved his life. Although he is rather naive towards what is really happening during the series, Yamamoto is very devoted and loyal to Tsuna.

Bond

Yamamoto with Tsuna and Gokudera

He fights for him, protecting him above all else. His protective sense to Tsuna was first hinted in the manga when Yamamoto declared that he will be Tsuna's Right Hand Man while Gokudera will just be the ear lobe. 

In the Future Arc, Yamamoto showed great distress at not being able to beat Daisy in the Choice battle, thinking that he had somehow disappointed Tsuna and the Guardians. However, thanks to Tsuna, he managed to let go of this distress during the second trial of the Guardian Inheritance Test.

Hayato Gokudera

Yamamoto thinks of Gokudera as a friend and although Gokudera does not seem to admit this fact, he also thinks of Yamamoto as a trusted ally. However, there seems to be somewhat of a one-sided rivalry going on. Gokudera believes Yamamoto is trying to become Tsuna's right hand man, when in reality, he is simply being his clueless self and enjoying their competitions. They therefore push each other to do their best and become stronger because of each other. Gokudera also enjoys calling Yamamoto a "baseball freak" whenever he is acting laid-back in a tough situation, when he references something to baseball, or when he does not know something.

In the future, the present Yamamoto scolds Gokudera for his coldness towards him. He says that he has no right to be Tsuna's right hand man right now, as the right hand man's job is to gather and unite the Guardians, not turn away from them. He goes back to being happy once Gokudera chooses to accept him.

Reborn

Reborn is the one who "found" Yamamoto and consequently made him join the Vongola. He has very high expectations of Yamamoto's talents and eventually becomes his tutor in the Future Arc. Reborn says that Yamamoto is a natural-born hitman. Yamamoto, on the other hand, thinks that Reborn is an infant who likes to play with very advanced toys such as guns and bombs. After training with Reborn, he has acknowledged him as being powerful and is interested in hearing his secrets, which Reborn revealed to him after their training. Reborn seems to like sitting on Yamamoto's shoulder.

Superbi Squalo

Squalo is the first opponent Yamamoto faced who uses a sword. After a humiliating defeat at Squalo's hands Yamamoto trained extremely hard to learn the Shigure Souen Style in hopes of beating Squalo. Squalo can be seen as the oil that strengthened Yamamoto's desire to become stronger and his rival at swordsmanship. After defeating Squalo in the Rain battle Squalo says that Yamamoto has what it takes to become a great Swordsman, acknowledging him. He, like Reborn, also has high hopes for Yamamoto. In the Future Arc, Squalo sends Reborn and Yamamoto a video of the 101 battles he won in order to become the Sword Emperor, helping Yamamoto and refiring his determination. In the Future Arc, it is also mentioned that Vongola has two Swords masters; one of which is Yamamoto, the other Squalo. Squalo seems to get irritated at Yamamoto as he chooses baseball over swordsmanship. Squalo is one of the few who notice that Yamamoto is not at the inheritance ceremony and that he is an illusion,

Yamamoto & Kaoru

Yamamoto and Kaoru

signifying that Squalo has gotten to know Yamamoto behavior wise along with his capabilities as a swordsman.

Kaoru Mizuno

Unlike others who afraid of him because of his appearance, Yamamoto treats Kaoru nicely and already regard him as his friend, being the only one who helps him when it comes to baseball and to the point that he saved him from Daemon Spade's killing blow and forgave Kaoru even though he had nearly killed him. Kaoru also regards Yamamoto as his friend, feeling guilty for attacking him to the verge of death and due to this, finally losing his pride because he could not bear to fight Yamamoto because he saved him and said that he wished to continue being friends with him before he was imprisoned by Vindice. After Daemon was defeated, both reconciled and were seen playing baseball together again.
