Yoshio Saotome

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yoshio Saotome (早乙女 好雄 Saotome Yoshio) is a character from Tokimeki Memorial. He provides you with information on the girls you can date, including their phone number (so you can call them later for a date), blood type, and various things they like.

You'll often see him around school and is sometimes seen with several of the girls from the game, the most common being his childhood friend Yuko Asahina. His younger sister, Yumi Saotome, arrives in Kirameki High in the second year.

Like you (the player), he's trying to win, at the end of 3rd year, the heart of one of the girls. He actually can succeed in doing so, but it occurs very rarely (it can happen if all the girls you know are hating you), and seeing this event automatically means that you'll lose.

Yoshio's phone number is one of the only three phone numbers you receive in the beginning of the game. The other two are Shiori Fujisaki's and Rei Ijyuin's.

Yoshio is also the only male character (prior to Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side in which the main targets to end up with are male characters) where the main character can end up with him. In the Tokimeki no Houkago ~Ne Quiz Shiyo~ Yoshio is a winnable character though it should be noted that you don't actually end up with him and there is no indication of any BL taking place. Basically you and him make a pact to both find girlfriends. Essentially this is like the "Bad Ending" from Tokimeki Memorial only with pictures added.

Yoshio is voiced by Yuji Ueda, and is notable as being the only male from the Tokimeki Memorial series to have his own music CD release prior to Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side.
