Synopsis
She is the first narrator of Part 8, introducing the background in Chapter 1. She is Joushuu Higashikata's childhood friend and love interest. She found the protagonist buried underground and naked.

When she saw her she feels embarrassed and apologizes but then goes back to the bathroom to ask if the naked girl is his girlfriend. The girl doesn't answer and Yasuho searches for other clues, finding a photo album. After a quick look at it, she starts screaming, panicking, seeing him watching naked, tied women in the pictures. Crying, she tells the Protagonist to stay away and she didn't want someone like him in her town and then she leaves the bathroom.

Stand
Yashuo had a bite mark on her right ankle, the same bite mark that appeared on the Protagonist and Joushuu. This, combined with her phone's precognition of the birthmark bubble, implies that she has become a stand user as well.[1] Yasuho has also gained the ability to see Stands, without having one, but in its early stages, 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.
When Yasuho visit the hospital to find Josuke's mother, the GPS stand appears as Yasuho's phone, enabling her to see Josuke's Soft and Wet in the first chapter and protecting Josuke against the biker stand by giving precise instructions as to its location. So far, Yasuho has only subconsciously activated the stand, and does not know of its effects or even its presence.[2]
