Ok hopefully someone can answer me this question. Several times this season I've spotted another waitress with long, dark hair wandering around the restaurant. So far she hasn't said anything and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about her.

She was in the first season briefly. Basically, she considers herself normal, and thinks everyone working in Wagnaria is really weird, so she distances herself from them as much as possible in order that she remains normal, to the extent that the others think she's a bit weird. You're not missing much by not seeing her.


So is she going to have any development? And has she ever had any speaking roles? I find her intriguing.

As far as I remember she said a lot in the final episode of the first season but since then never again :o

Seems the Yamada family is complicated.
Why are they hiding there name is it something famous or are they trying to avoid harming there name because little sister Yamada ran away.
It also seems to be a single parent household the way male Yamada and Soma where talking.
Why did little sister Yamada ran away was her relationship with her mother very bad?
And why was Soma hiding her from her brother?

Takanashi really needs to see a doctor caring that much for small things is really something to worry about what if he grabs a little child someday.

I think "kiri" is the real name.Shouma must have found its real name lol

Shouma's ability is reading other people's mind 0.0;I like Shouma, he seems to be the only guy knows what happen and he know how to deal with it for his own pleasure .If I am not mistaken, Shouma doing something good for the first time for someone he treasure.

Anyways, I freaking loved this episode, so much laughing, especially in the second half when male Yamada was looking at all the girls to make sure they weren't his sister XD

One of the best episodes so far.

"Sorry, my hand slipped" was just so epic.

I've noticed recently how much I love this cast, they're all just so much fun to watch and their interactions are even funnier.

The chances of that happening are slim... The whole reason for him looking for his sister was to bring her back, right? So it makes sense that Souma wouldn't want him to find her if he enjoys her company and thinks he'll take her away.

Yamada is the family name, Aoi and Kirio are their first names.

And perhaps one of the best things about working is that things do progress. Though sadly chances of them meeting this season seem slim, annoyingly.

It seems that the Yamada family is not from that area, so there's a chance that Aoi must stop working there if she has to come back home

It's nice to see Souma being nice in a nice way instead of in a mean way
I'm starting to think that Souma is slowly getting attached to Yamada. Such a tsundere.

So Aoi's father isn't present in the household, that explains why Aoi really wants to be adopted by the old man. Lack of attention too it seems from the way Aoi keep asking for attention, and how Kirio keep saying that he does not and will not forget about her sister. It's kind of sad how the character that looks super cheerful actually has lots of problems in her life :(

I wonder why they're not using their real names though. I can't help but thinking that their father/mother might be a politician, an artist, or even a gang leader (like mafia). Oh imagination running wild xD

I still don't get the Kiri part though. I assume that Aoi and Kirio are their real names? Then why did Yamada panicked when she heard the word "Kiri"? Unless "Kiri" is her real family name

Kiri(maybe o) Aoi
Kiri Kirio

The second name sounds weird though. Or maybe she panicked when she heard her brother's name being mentioned? Unless her brother is using his family's name (Kirio) as his first name...

Yamada is the family name, Aoi and Kirio are their first names.

wait, yamada is actually their family name? i got the impression that both 'yamada's coincidentally made up the same last name when both of them were lying about their real names since in both situations, when the person they were talking to refered to them as 'yamada', in both situations each 'yamada' was hesitant to react to the name 'yamada' as if to say "oh yeah, that's the name that i told you i was".

though, if you're basing it on the manga, then i feel somewhat idiotic for looking too into the matter

I actually thought it was kind of annoying how Soma continuously kept the "Yamada" siblings apart, as the series is already doing the same thing with Otoo and his wife. I understand the type of show this is, but I'd still be kind of annoyed (but not surprised) if they didn't meet by the end of this series. I think Yamada has potentially the most interesting back story out of all the characters, and it would be a shame if it wasn't expanded on.

Aoi Yamada and Kirio Yamada for female and male respectively. Both Aoi and Kirio are their real first names and Yamada is a made up family name. Why would Kirio be the last name? It would be Aoi Kirio and Kirio Kirio.....

OH SOMA. YOU DOG YOU.

I loved this episode, probably one of my favorites thus far ! I just really have to admit, I did let out a little "aw" when Inami was listening to the recording of Takanashi. Man, I just love that pairing too much for some reason.

EDIT: Oh my GOD Takanashi's jealousy when he confronts Yamada's brother is PRICELESS.

I LOVED this ep!
A little attention to Souma has been way overdue, and glad he had quite an active role here...(although I still remain loyal to Satou-kun...)

I reckon:
(1) Her real name is Aoi and Yamada might be the surname of someone connected/close to the family, enough so that both siblings use it as an alias.

(2) In season 1, Takanashi mentioned "she speaks properly and she has an air of elegance around her...perhaps she's from a rich family" - so maybe she is; also, her bro wanted it quiet that she was missing - to avoid scandals, perhaps?

(3) Kirio would be her brother's first name, so when Souma said "Kiri-", that's why she half-freaked ;)

---
And I think Yamada is growing on Souma - you know, the whole "You don't know what you have until it's gone" saying?
At first, he did it because he's sadistic and wanted to keep Yamada on to tease her (?), but it seemed OTT when he tried separating bro/sis for that long. ;)

My fave parts?
Inami listening to Takanashi on loop, Popura playing tag with Takanashi in that sickeningly sweet way, and Jun's "Sorry, my hand slipped" XD XD XD.
GOSH I DON'T WANT THIS ANIME TO END >

Looking back into the series, Yamada is definitely made-up name or alias, that's proven by both female and male "Yamadas" when they do not pay attention for people who calling them so. It takes a bit of strain form them to remember that they are "Yamada" and people referring to them by that name. That alias may be indeed made from someone's else family name, relative or whatever, but it also maybe some cultural japanese staff and pun, like it was with Taro-kun in FLCL which stands for english John Doe in that case. So maybe Yamada is some "generic" japanese family name.

Yamada is one of the simplest Japanese family name to write in kanji (about 8 strokes in total) so maybe that`s the reason...

Anyone noticed that Souma and Sat were smoking outside while Inami was in in the locker room (for an obvious reason)? Or when Souma was back from the dept store that Yachiyo was still continuing her story about Kyouko?

Those small things sometimes just put a smile when I'm watching this series =)

To throw my two cents in about the ongoing discussion;

the name "Yamada Taro" is essentially Japan's "Jon Doe" or "John Smith", being one of the most common names in the country, as well as very simple to write. (Heck, the name "Taro" in Japanese essentially means "first-born son".)
The name's "legacy" is also probably connected to the Yamada Taro of Japanese folklore, though I don't remember enough about it to give a good account.

Also, I agree with wpf, I think the "kiri-" that Souma mentioned was her brother Kirio. I think he was testing to see her reaction to her name so he could determine her relationship with her brother and decide if it would be a good idea to let them meet sooner or later. I too thought at first he had dropped part of Yamada's real name, but I don't think even Souma knows that... maybe.


I'm pretty sure life is a tsundere...

I want Yamada as my imouto!

Cute episode, Yamada Aoi finally gets some family love from Souma. I wasn't sure why Souma didn't want them to meet, but it was cute nonetheless. I forgot that the male Yamada's name is Kirio. I thought Souma was about to say Kiriko, which would be the female version of Kirio. I thought maybe Kiriko would be Yamada Aoi's real name. Oh well, whatever. We'll see (or not, since shows like these typically never have these kinds of plot solved).

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Pretty much the only times Takanashi has been shown to be annoyed with Yamada is how utterly incompetent she is at her job and everything else, not because of the obvious lie when she first introduced herself. Also how has she been manipulative? She only has a simple and earnest request to have an ideal family which is why she wants to be pampered by everyone as she essentially sees them as "family". She clearly means no harm and she isn't "trying" to ruin Otoo's life.

While i don't think what Souma did was particularly nice, in defense for his actions i don't think he did it for his own amusement, after all if they didn't meet nothing would happen. It would been more interesting for him if that had met, his actions have done nothing except tire him out. Perhaps he though it would be best to find out what the situation was, after all Yamada did run away, her circumstances in the worst case could have been pretty horrible.

Yes it slipped passed me that Yamada has been taking continuously advantage of Otoo's goodwill, this along with her obvious lies, it's perhaps understandable why people would think of her as a nasty piece of work considering she isn't helping one bit with her being as incompetent as she is. I don't think however she has any ill will, just immature.

And can we perhaps lay off with the insults? This page alone seems particularly bad and unwarranted.
