The Sonozaki family are not only very influential in Hinamizawa, but also in the neighboring town, Okinomiya. They own many businesses, including Angel Mort, and retail stores. Two of these businesses are run by two of Mion and Shion's uncles who are both named "Yoshirō" (though with different spellings in Japanese). Their third uncle, Ken, is a very important member of the municipal assembly.

Sonozaki Yoshirō

First Appearance

<noinclude> <nowiki>*</nowiki> = optional row <PRE>

</PRE></noinclude>Yoshirō, another uncle of Mion and Shion is the owner of the Toy Store. The club play in this store a game tournament Watanagashi-hen and ''Minagoroshi-hen. ''In most worlds, he rewards the club members (except Mion) with prizes, and even gives Keiichi a really cute doll that the rest of the club admires. In the Watanagashi-hen and Meakashi-hen worlds, he gives the doll to Reina instead of Mion, to avoid ruining his "bro-like" relationship he has with her. However, when Mion pours out her hurt feelings about Keiichi to Shion, she becomes jealous that her sister's crush is alive and well, therefore causing the tragedies in these arcs.

In Hajisarashi-hen, he gives Keiichi a cursed swimming trunk and mistakenly tells him to write his own name where you're supposed to write down your crush's name, which will cause Keiichi to fall in love with himself if he keeps wearing it.

Appearance

Yoshirō wears a blue T-shirt, glasses, grey jeans, a blue bandana and a white apron. He has brown hair with a ponytail and beard.
