Yoshi

is a female Bount, one of the main villains of the Bount arc.

Appearance
Yoshi has dark green hair and wears a purple traditional Chinese-style pao with beige pants. She seems to be somewhat masculine and utilizes her feet for kicking opponents in movements that suggest she is a wushu fighter.

Personality
She appears to only be concerned about power, and was eager to drink souls collected from the bitto. However, after invading the Soul Society, she reveals she only agreed to help Kariya because it would be fun. In her last moments, she tells Uryū that she had fun battling him. She also seems to be rather fond of conflict and bloodlust, similar to Kenpachi Zaraki and Nnoitra Jiruga. Also, much like the latter, at times she resorts to underhanded methods in order to win. The best known example was when she took a young soul hostage and threatened to kill her during her fight with Rukia in Soul Society.

Yoshi's relationship with Mabashi seems somewhat strained as the latter frequently refers to her as "old lady", which leads to verbal and physical clashes between the two. Also, after Mabashi's death at the hands of Soifon and his own doll, Yoshi seems to be rather satisfied and called him "trash"

Synopsis
In the Human World, she battles Rukia Kuchiki and the Mod Souls. However, her fellow Bount, Mabashi, intervenes and attacks her. Aggravated, she retreats and tells Mabashi to watch his back.

Once in the Soul Society, she seeks out Rukia once more. Yoshi is winning, and Rukia is left running from rooftop to rooftop. However, Byakuya Kuchiki releases his Zanpakutō and uses the small blades to disperse her. Using all the reishi in the air, she heals her wounds.

Uryū Ishida then finds her and the two battle. Yoshi is initially unimpressed at Uryū's lack of power and aim. She switches between offense and defense, merging with each of her dolls. While in fan form, Uryū fires an arrow of little power, so she switches back to her regular self. Uryū then shoots an arrow with great power and Yoshi begins yelling at the fan, just as the arrow curves from her. It was then that Uryū realized her weakness. Waiting for the lag time in between her transformations, he is able to shoot her through the chest. Before dying, she mentions that it was fun.

Powers & Abilities
Maser Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Yoshi fights with incredible accuracy and grace, suggesting she is a wushu fighter, with sweeping kicks, maneuvers, and deadly speed.

Enhanced Strength: Yoshi also seems to possess enhanced strength, shown when she smashed her fist to grab the head of a little girl Rukia was protecting and hold her effortlessly off her feet. She was also able to harm the girl by squeezing her head, implying she could have crushed it.

Doll
is Yoshi's doll, a combination of a jian and fan which are connected with an extending chain. Both the fan and sword have separate personalities. The jian end has a male voice (although high-pitched), and the fan end has a female voice. The fan acts as a shield while the jian is the main weapon. Nieder can transform itself into two different forms: defense and offense. In either transformation, however, Yoshi can only use one of the weapons, effectively crippling her defenses when in 'jian form' and disabling her offense in 'fan form'. Also, when changing forms, she has to return to her normal form first, which causes a small lag time in which she is defenseless. In the original version, the sword is voiced by Taro Yamaguchi and the fan is done by Mariko Koda. In the dub, the sword is voiced by Joe J. Thomas and the fan is voiced by Wendee Lee.
 * Defense: the fan part of Nieder becomes dominant, enlarging to a size bigger than Yoshi herself and growing armor over Yoshi's left arm. When opened, the fan is almost impenetrable.
 * Offense: called Happonjin, the jian part of Nieder becomes dominant and armor extends over Yoshi's right arm. Several energy swords trail behind the main sword, which can be thrown or used to slash from a distance.
