Trivia
- According to the protagonist, her bust size is 86, but she also wears bra padding, so the measure could be less.
- Apparently she had a dog named Josuke.
- Yasuho gained the ability of see Stands, without having one; but for now, the ability manifests itself with the help of her iPhone, since she saw the Star bubble emerging from Josuke's body with the camera, when to the naked eye, the birthmark did not move.
- She shares the same surname as Koichi Hirose. Their relation is unknown at the moment.
- She might lose her boot, as a reference to Trish Una who lost her boot in Part 5.
- Daiya Higashikata is jealous of her and tried to break Josuke's memory of her.
- Though it was subtle, at the end of chapter 6, Yashuo had a bite mark on her right ankle. The same bite mark that appeared on the Protagonist as well as Joushuu. This combined with her phone's precognition of the birthmark bubble might mean that she has become a stand user as well.
