Upon his introduction, Yoki is a corrupt military officer who levies heavy taxes on the town of Youswell, driving its citizens into bankruptcy. When the Elric brothers arrive, they deceive Yoki into surrendering ownership of the town and immediately report his misconduct to the military. He is stripped of his rank and lives as a homeless person on the outskirts of Central, where he encounters the fugitive Scar. In the anime, Yoki alerts the military to Scar's location; during the subsequent raid to capture Scar, he is killed by Lust. In the manga, Yoki is forced to work for Scar under threat of death. Although he attempts to convince those they meet that Scar is his servant, Yoki obeys Scar's commands and addresses him as "master". Since accompanying Scar across the country, Yoki has taken on the role of comic relief, frequently suffering pain when he tries to appear superior to others.
