Teriyaki Yoko

“

Start all over! You should be banned from every game.

”

Teriyaki Yoko (テリヤキヨーコ Teriyaki Yōko) is a diva. She debuted in Um Jammer Lammy and is the Teacher of "Stage 6: Taste Of Teriyaki".

Story

When Lammy slips on a banana peel and lands in Hell (or snags her clothes on a doorknob and gets launched to an island), she is recruited by Yoko's manager to fill in for their regular guitarist. Yoko allowed Lammy to return to the MilkCan concert on the condition that she plays well in the song.

Teriyaki Yoko appears in Stage 6 of UmJammer Lammy. This is the most altered stage of the game due to originally taking place in Hell in the Japanese and European versions, accompanied by references to the Devil and angels. Yoko goes as far as to jolt Lammy with lightning if the player plays badly or awfully. If awful, the crowd will open up to reveal a red void. Failing Stage 6 will cause a giant Teriyaki Yoko to come up from the red void, telling Lammy to "start all over" and that she should be "banned from every game."

Personality & Habits

Yoko comes off as ill-tempered when first met to emphasize her diva/idol status, having roses appear behind them when shown in full view. Yoko is negotiable and expresses gratitude or praise if you pass. When it's clear Lammy is not Rammy - the one supposedly accompanying their gig - she simply rolls with letting Lammy do the gig as the show must go on.

Due to the mystery of where you are, Yoko comes off as unpredictable with their powers. She is only shown to control electricity in-game. Their entire stage being an entirely new dimension (Hell) also plays into 4th wall breaking with the credit roll and failing her stage results in Yoko saying that Lammy should be banned from every game. In other words, Yoko, her manager, and Lammy are aware of the 4th wall's existence.

She is referred to in the Japanese-only Um Jammer Lammy Guidebook as both "Yoko-Chan" and "Yoko-Sama." A common misconception stemming from a bad translation of the guidebook is that she uses gender-neutral pronouns. However, this is false.

Design

Teriyaki is an ambiguous creature, with defining characteristics being mint green skin, antennae, and a uniquely shaped wide head. Her blond hair balances on a stem forming the tip of Yoko's head, akin to a potted plant. Yoko is shown to be fairly thin, which contrasts with their big head. She wears a long, slender maxi dress with a hot-pink honeycomb printed split and hot-pink pumps. Her artwork design shows Yoko with droopy eyes, but said eyes are more straight and focused in-game, with a little light reflection in them that Greenblat never uses in his designs.
