Yamato is a major supporting character in both the Naruto anime and manga series, as well as the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations anime and manga series. He is an ANBU in Konohagakure's service. He is added to Team Kakashi as a temporary replacement for Kakashi Hatake due to his unique jutsu. Though Kakashi eventually rejoins the team, Yamato remains to provide assistance as needed. In the Japanese version, he was voiced by Rikiya Koyama and Eri Gda (as a child), while in the English version, Yamato was voiced by Troy Baker and later by Matthew Mercer.
Later, he and Sai gathered information about The Hole. Kabuto unleashed Naruto's clone, while Sai fought a reincarnated Deidara and Hidan snake clone. Yamato talked about The Hole with Kakashi and other Konoha shinobi, wondering what Kabuto could want with it. Yamato fought Kabuto's reincarnated shinobi once more, while Naruto dealt with his clone. The team left the village after Kabuto's plan was foiled. Paradise A Boat's Life
