Yahya

Yahya (ヤフヤ), also known as Yafya is an antagonistic character in Beastars. He is the current Sublime Beastar.

Appearance
He is a horse with a near-black coat and a black crest. His wardrobe varies a lot throughout history. Due to his role as the Sublime Beastar, he often disguises himself to deceive criminals.

Personality
Yahya at first sight seems to be a pretty friendly and reliable animal due to being the Beastar. However, he is also quite manipulative. He has a strong desire to bring about justice and make a change in society and will often manipulate other animals as a means to an end. This has lead him to have many enemies, as shown in the death threats graffitied on the walls surrounding the Black Market.

Yahya is a hypocrite who is a bigoted antihero at best and a cruel villain at worst. He uses the bodies of carnivores to fertilize his carrot farm and because of this, he is hated and known as the the "Black Devil" by residents of the Black Market. He is capable of cruelty to not only carnivores but herbivores as well, as seen in Chapter 138 after threatening the leader of the 500 Cornered Rats during an interrogation.

Abilities

 * 350-degree vision: Like a typical horse, Yahya has a 350-degree vision, which he uses on his mission. He uses it to fight multiple enemies around him. If he doesn't need the vision, he wears a blindfold to suppress it.
 * 360-degree vision: He can't view 360-degree, so he requires one individual that will add 10-degree to his 350-degree vision. When Gosha used to be his police partner, he used the 360-degree vision with him to fight multiple criminals. He also used it with Legoshi to look for Melon that was hidden around a crowd in a night party.

Trivia

 * Yahya almost constantly wears a blindfold, to suppress his 350-degree vision.
 * He is named after the Islamic prophet Yahya.
 * He and Gosha used to be police partners and they both shared the dream of becoming beastars as a team.
