Yoshiro is a lumberjack for trade in Kumaso Village. While chopping his wood he had pulled something in his shoulder requiring a special medicine to heal his wounded shoulder. With his shoulder repaired to perfection, he actually had the newly found strength to snap his spear in two. With the need for another spear to protect him from bears in the forests, he requests for the player's help in acquiring a Gingko Spear, which has the strength to not snap easily like his previous spear.
