Bio: Yoshi grew up in the forest world of the Mushroom Kingdom as an egg for a great number of years until eventually someone was kind enough to bring him the delicious fruit he was craving.

But Yoshi turned down all of them for they weren't what he truly wanted. Then one day, a man/woman showed up bearing a gift of coconut. The man/woman tossed Yoshi a coconut and Yoshi hatched immediately, gulping down the delicious fruit. Unfortunately, Yoshi wasn't able to thank the mysterious man/woman for when he turned around, the man/woman was gone. However, Yoshi always hold a respect for the man/woman who brought him the tasty snack he desired giving Yoshi the final motivation he needed to break out of his egg.
