Yotaro (与太郎 Yotarō?) is seemingly a sickly child that refuses to get out of bed unless his mother can give him a pet panda. When Genma happens along, he is treated like a king by this rich family in exchange for being Kumahachi's pet, where he decides he would be happy to spend the rest of his days eating and lounging about. Yotaro means "give great son", which is a pun on the fact that he wants his mother to give him a panda. In Japan, the name "Yotaro" has the connotations of someone being a liar, just like the name "Romeo" may suggest a romantic to English speakers.
