Yashiro is a simple character with far reaching normals and a straight-forward combo game. His special moves lack utility, but he makes up for that with a solid set of buttons, ranging from his quick and large f.B, his beefy, cancellable f.C, and great jump normals between j.A, j.D, and j.CD. Yashiro is a great character to pick up when learning the fundamentals of KOF. Yashiro can function anywhere on a team, but can prefer mid or anchor, as having EX available makes his small confirms from his great normals much more threatening.
Pros
Cons
Simple, easy to understand gameplan.
Fantastic ranges on many normals.
Good air control with j.D and j.CD.
Far C is cancellable and is both rewarding and safe.
Has an overhead command normal (6A) that's safe and knocks down.
Has few gimmicks to catch people by surprise.
Very little utility in his moveset, relying solely on fundamentals.
Has a slight reliance on meter.

Chains into and from light normals
A quick jab with plus frames. Has good range for a f.A. This not only helps it fare better in neutral, but also lets Yashiro perform longer light normal blockstrings than many other characters (e.g 2A, 2B, f.A, f.A, f.B). End light normal chains with this normal if you want to keep the pressure. Chains into itself and other A and B normals.

Chains from light normals
A massive quick kick. This button is excellent at controlling space and can even lead to good reward with Max Cancel. Use frequently to pester the opponent, but remember to take advantage of their annoyance to get bigger hits. Also keep in mind that the recovery is longer than your average light normal, so be wary of abusing this. Chains from A normals, making for easy Max confirms.

Special/Super Cancellable.
A far reaching punch that's cancellable. Having a cancellable far heavy in KOF is often a boon, and this normal is no exception. Yashiro can get a very easy confirm with f.C > 41236A ~ 236C > super, stopping at 41236A if it's blocked. It's quite fast as well giving Yashiro potentially stronger punishes than other characters in certain situations.

Whiffs on crouching opponents.
A massive roundhouse. This move as a similarly large hitbox to f.B, but has bigger damage and reaches higher, making it good at catching jumps as well. However, compared to f.B it has an even higher whiff recovery, so the commitment is higher. It also whiffs on crouchers. Still effective, but must be used more carefully, such as against opponents who hop in neutral frequently.

A close-hitting knee. This normal has the best frame advantage out of Yashiro's moveset, and is quintessential to his mix up game. Use this for setting up frame traps into 2B, 2C, more staggered light normals, or throw. It also links into c.C and 2C, allowing for strong combos. Does not chain into other normals, but does chain from A normals.

Hits low.
A standard close kick. Hits low, which is fairly unique. Although slower than c.C, this is Yashiro's highest damage starter, so use to punish over c.C when possible. Being able to threaten with such a high damage low makes his hops and 6A all the more threatening. Plus on block interestingly, but hard to make use of due to pushback, other than a f.B.

Overhead.
A slamming overhead. When done by itself, hits overhead and causes a hard knockdown. Hits OTG (off the ground), tacking on additional damage after a super. The range is good, and while it can't be comboed after with a Max Cancel, it is unique among overhead command normals in having substantial reward meterless with its knockdown. Safe on block. When canceled from a normal, combos from heavy normals and can be canceled, but is rendered obselete compared to 6B. When cancelled from light normals, this acts as a frame trap.

An uppercut combo. All versions have upper body armor that can armor through highs and mids. The A version starts up the fastest but has the shortest duration of armor. This makes it good for anti-airing, but bad as a reversal, and even in anti-airs its shorter armor means it must be timed better. The C version is the slowest but has armor on frame 1. This makes it harder to use as an anti-air, but can be used as a reversal. It also has more combo potential via super cancels, unlike the A version which causes no juggle potential at all. The EX version is the best of both worlds, having fast startup and frame 1 armor. It also can lead to some combos, especially in the corner. Note that all versions lose to lows.

A dashing mid punch. All versions hit mid. This special is only ok in a vacuum, but works wonders as a cancel from f.C and 2D. The A version is quick , covers about 1/3 of the screen distance, and combos from heavies. It's negative on block, but the pushback is enough to be safe in most circumstances. The C version is slower which can act as a frame trap when canceled. It is also safer on block and travels about half screen. The EX version is the best of both worlds, being fast, haha screen, and neutral on block. Cancelling into thing from your far reaching cancellable normals can give you a lot of mileage. f.C into this special can net you errant hit confirms in neutral. Using this special after 2D helps keep you safe and potentially punish players who are attempting to jump. This special has follow-ups on hit or block, but in general should only be used on hit, as they're more negative than if you didn't do a follow up at all.

236 A = A straight punch ender to 41236 P. Not noteworthy, as it does less damage than the 236 C follow-up and doesn't knockdown. It's slightly safer which could give it some frame trapping potential by delaying the follow up after a blocked 426 P, but as it's still -10 it's not the best option. If you didn't confirm the 426 P hitting, such as when you are using it raw or in a frame trap with the C version, you can try using this to fish for a super cancel. When used after 41236 AC, the move is completely safe, and knocks down.
236 C = An uppercut ender to 41236 P. Very unsafe, but does more damage and connects into supers just as well as the 236 A follow up. Since you should ideally should be hit confirming the 41236 P, this will be the preferred ender. When used after 41236 AC, you get a higher launch, allowing for further combos.

A leaping overhead. Hits overhead, but is very unsafe on block. Can be used as a gimmick but shouldn't be relied upon. The leaping movement can help against projectiles, but what can be done with 214K in neutral can often also be done with regular KOF movement, with much less risk. Using this as a combo ender however, does grant a hard knockdown. The EX version has projectile invincibility, is only -5 on block, and allows for a juggle after, which makes it more useful.

A projectile that causes a cinematic. The projectile is slow but could be used on some hard reads against zoners. Considering the cost however, this is generally not worth it.
