Yoichi is an unseen character mentioned by once in Shin Gaiden (Benizakura's story). Since it's not mentioned clearly, he was either a man living in the village or a male Tosa dog owned by a villager. In case he was a dog, he had four pups with a female Tosa. In case he was a human, he owned a female Tosa which had four puppies with a Tosa dog. He said his four puppies were much bigger than Chako's puppies.
