Even though Yamato uses his brains instead of his body to fight, Yamato has proved that he is capable of fighting by relying on his speed, mobility and reflexes to counter his opponent and then strike vital spots to bring them down. He is the target of affection from many of the girls in Kawakami City, Kawakami Academy, and the Kazama family, especially from Momoyo and Miyako. In Fandisk game A-1, he marries Azumi, but notably Miyako becomes pregnant in the first game in her route at the end with his child named after Naoe Kanetsugu, the legendary Sengoku warrior.
