STATUS RELATIONS
Princess of Jurai? Father - Azusa || Mother - Funaho || Half-mother - Misaki || Aeka - Half-sister || Sasami - Half-sister || Daughter - Achika || Son-in-law - Nobuyuki || Grandson - Tenchi

The grandfather of Tenchi and the father of Achika. He lives in the Masaki Shrine where Tenchi visits every summer. He also sword trains Tenchi. He appears in all the Tenchi Muyo! series.

Yosho is the first crown prince of Jurai. 700 years ago, he was engaged to Aeka, his half-sister, before he left Jurai in pursuit of the space pirate, Ryoko. Their marriage was prearranged by their parents when Aeka was a child. Still, Aeka was happy with the arrangement and was looking forward to become Yosho's wife. Aeka and Yosho was to wed when Aeka was to become of age, but before their wedding, Yosho left Jurai in pursuit of Ryoko (it is not uncommon for siblings to wed each other on Jurai). Ryoko and Yosho battle through the galaxies until finally reaching Earth where Yosho defeated Ryoko and imprisoned her in the cave by taking away her Power Gems. Yosho decided not to return to Jurai for personal reasons, so he built the Masaki Shrine in close proximity of the cave.

The reason he did not return to Jurai and wed Aeka is because there were some Juraians who opposed a half Juraian and half homosapien taking heir of the throne. His mother is the first queen of Jurai, Funaho, is an Earthling. Therefore, he stayed on Earth and married Tenchi's grandmother, who was also a homosapien.

Though Yosho looks like a grandpa, his actual appearance is a twenty-something young man. He keeps this grandpa appearance to hopefully dissuade Aeka from marrying him and to not cause suspicions while on Earth as to why he is not aging. He only reveals his true voice and appearance when his mother, Funaho, visits him on Earth. No other person has seen his actual appearance since his arrival on Earth.

Yosho is the *true* owner and master of the Tenchiken, an energy sword. His martial arts skills and use of the Tenchiken is impeccable when demonstrated on Kagato. He can also generate the Light Hawk Wings, albeit, only one Light Hawk Wing, but he makes up for the lack of Light Hawk Wings by utilizing his martial arts effectively. IMHO, he can whip Kagato's butt any day. ^_-

He rarely interacts with the Masaki family, but he is not an old grump. In fact, he has a great sense of humor. He spends his time reading scriptures, books, and training Tenchi. Also, he rarely interferes with the Masaki family's problems, unless it is very serious like the arrival of Kagato.
