Coda Yataro

Coda Yataro was the second ever OC created by EmptySocket, and almost inarguably his most popular. Yataro first appeared in a DanganRonpa Roblox roleplay, where many people took a liking to him. He has since become a "comfort character" for Empty, admitted by the man himself.

"I feel like Coda's really easy to [role]play as, 'cause his personality is a lot like mine."

Coda was a fairly popular professional wrestler in Japan, eventually being given the nickname "Unbreakable" for his "never say die" attitude in many matches. Some match highlights of his range from his finisher, a flatliner dubbed the "Beat Stopper", to an amazing best of three series with close friend Kris Campton, and even bloody and brutal hardcore matches.

Coda's reputation was suddenly in tatters in an incident involving another unnamed wrestler during a show in his hometown, Kobe. In a spot gone wrong, the other man landed horribly on his neck, breaking it, and dying on the spot. All personnel backstage and most fans knew that Coda was not at fault, rather the other man simply took the bump in the worst way possible. This didn't stop some from blaming Coda for the death.

Coda began receiving death threats, was attacked on the street multiple times, and even had his home broken into. Coda officially retired from wrestling only one month after the incident, citing safety concerns. The hate continued, eventually making Coda believe that he was guilty for the death.

Coda now lives away from the public eye, though is sometimes still spotted in grocery stores and such. His best friend, Enzo Aguayo, said the following in an interview.

"Poor guy can't catch a break. Man still gets threats now. I don't know if these people are dense, stupid or what, but it's pretty fuckin' obvious Coda's innocent."

Coda's son, Cole Yataro, has expressed interest in becoming a professional wrestler.
