Height; Officially 175cm, or just shy of 5'9". He claims to still be growing, and he's the right age for it, but his posture sucks anyway, so it's anybody's guess. Weight; Also officially given: 58kg. In Asgard he's been getting more exercise than he would back home, but then he may not have been eating as well - I think it'd balance out, but haha, anime characters and weights.
General Appearance; Lanky build, pointy but not especially angular face, unimposing presence - the best you can say is that he looks all round like a damned ordinary Japanese teenager, because for the most part that's what he is. There's more muscle to him than his skinniness suggests, but... still not that much. His hair is light brown with a parting just off-centre, and naturally sticks out all over the place; he's used to gelling it into spikes, although since that's been less of a priority lately, it's been getting gradually floofier. ...And no facial hair to speak of, even if he wanted it. :|b He's been nursing one or two faint burn scars along his arms since Alfheim as well, but they're usually covered up and would be hard to see anyway.
Physical Mannerisms; Loose to the point of theatrical, even exaggerated - Yosuke often forgets about other people's boundaries unless they remind him, and he really, really wants to appear more happy-go-lucky than he is, so expect wild gestures punctuating every other sentence, back-slapping / shoulder-grabbing / winking without warning and a healthy amount of flailing in any given conversation. He's also got slouching and leaning on things down to a fine art. He's not always great at sitting or standing still, with a slight tendency to tap his feet, scratch his head or otherwise fidget, but when talking to someone else he'll usually cross his arms and legs or stick his hands in his pockets for show. If he's not paying attention to what his hands are doing and letting them just hang down, it's a surprisingly reliable indicator that something has upset him.
Verbal Mannerisms; whiny manchild Frequently joking and informal, particularly around peers and friends, though he doesn't usually curse much without a reason. He hedges, squeaks and stammers mainly when flustered, which admittedly is often. Otherwise, he's a bit of a motormouth - he just so happens to be his canon's primary source of long expository speeches for about half the game - but he won't get long-winded when shorter words will do. He's still capable of breaking out the manners, though, and will default to them when speaking to people in obvious positions of authority or when he wants to wheedle something out of you.
Fashion; Headphones. :') They're his defining feature. If his favourite orange pair isn't clearly visible on his head or around his neck, either he didn't have the option, or something is very wrong. (For instance, he left them in the city when everyone went off to Alfheim...) Besides those, even if it's the brightly/warmly-coloured casual fare he gravitates to, he's generally picky about his wardrobe, like he is about his image overall - it may not be brand-name, especially here, but it won't look cheap. Hoodies were likely when the weather was cooler, and might become likelier as it cools down again. He's sometimes seen with other accessories like watches as well, though not so much with jewellery besides the bracelet. ... And he's gotten into the habit of concealing multiple knives in his jackets and pockets when he goes out, because he is a sensible young man with an excellent grasp of weapon safety, but those aren't quite the same.
