• The other members of BANQUET say he's the smartest member of the group - Yusuke was a terrible student when he was younger, though he said, coming last in most subjects except for Math and English (asked whether he could speak English though he said "I can't speak it but I was good at memorizing all the grammar and vocabulary for the tests" MixChannel 2020.07)

• Yusuke was in the soccer team when he was a student, he was chosen to be on his ward's soccer team (Toshima Ward) and represent them at the Tokyo Boys Soccer Tournament when he was a student

• His family owns a cat called Shippo (like the fox character from Inuyasha because his mother likes Inuyasha)

• Yusuke has an older brother

• back in the day, when his mother came to a WhiteA and BANQUET joint live, she mistook Takuya for Yusuke because the two of them used to look alike (and they still give of somewhat of the same aura at times - according to themselves)

• Yusuke still lives at home, he hangs out at Yuma's place a lot apparently - it sounds like they live within walking distance

• Yusuke has experience as a back-dancer for popular idol groups at popular year-end show "Kouhaku Utagassen" and he has back-danced for a popular idol group's 3days concert at Tokyo Dome (candidates here are Johnny's groups such as Arashi or maybe LDH groups)

• Yusuke models for the "Fine Boys Hair" magazines and has been in a Budwiser commercial
