Line 47:
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]] - The first anime special gives him blue hair instead of blond.
* [[Bishonen]] - Especially in the anime.
* [[Celibate Hero]] - He ''knows'' Mai is crazy for him, but his overall behaviourbehavior is more of a [[Big Brother Instinct]].
** Andy pretty much sees this as a [[Like Brother and Sister]] moment; having lived most of his life with Mai, he has a hard time adequately returning her affections. The status quo is kept in the second anime special (minus an [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|epic]] [[Curb Stomp Battle|asskicking]] of Laurence for harming her), but this is finally averted in [[The Movie]], where they actually share a kiss after Andy trounces [[Stalker with a Crush|Hauer]] and Mai finishes [[Love Martyr|Panni]].
* [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]] - He suffers an injury in ''3'' that continues to plague him throughout the ''Real Bout'' series, but it doesn't seem to hamper him in actual fights.
* [[Hard Work Hardly Works]] - He is shown training much more than Terry, but can't keep up with him.
* [[Ki Attacks]]
* [[McNinja]] - A [[Highly-Visible Ninja|highly visible one]] at that. Sure, white ''does'' work as camoflaugecamouflauge, [[Fridge Logic|but what need is there for stealth]] in a [[Fighting Game]]?
* [[The Rival]] - To Terry. He's not the ''only'' one, but Terry recognizes Andy as his most legitimate and fiercest rival.
** In Hokutomaru's ending from ''Garou'', Andy praises his disciple for his growth as a fighter, but then states that their relationship is no longer that of master and student, but that of two rivals.
Line 170:
** ... but the fact he is English probably means that it ''should'' be pronounced "Cane."
* [[Shirtless Scene]] - Somewhat. He wears a jacket, but no shirt underneath.
* [[Shout-Out]] - His original apperanceappearance was similar to former British pro-wrestler Dynamite Kid. His redesign in the ''Real Bout'' series has Billy looking like [[Guns N' Roses|Axl Rose]] (only without long hair).
* [[Simple Staff]]
* [[Super Strength]] - Relatively speaking, it would take a great deal of might to properly utilize a three-section staff held together by chains with great tensile strength.
Line 216:
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]] - Has brown or black hair in the games; red in the anime.
** Her hair in her ''Real Bout Special'' ending is purple.
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]] - While Andy does kiss her in the movie, no in-game event yet shows him unambiguously returnngreturning her feelings in the same degree as hers.
* [[Ass Kicks You]] - Her Wild Cherry attack.
* [[Clothing Damage]] - A bit in the second anime special, much more in [[The Movie]].
Line 244:
* [[Single-Target Sexuality]] - Guess who!
* [[Stripperiffic]] - Since the very start, but the anime exaggerated it much further, and the spinoff games also ran with it.
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] - Mai is suppossedsupposed to be one (or at least believes to be), and to her credit, she tries hard. [[media:MaiTeas.jpg|One of the official arts]] has her wearing a kimono while apparently hosting a tea ceremony for Terry and Andy, and this is invoked again in ''[[media:000s8dcq.png|The King Of Fighters: KYO]]'' during one of Kyo and Yuki's dates.

Line 307:

* [[Beard of Evil]] - Sports the exact same style as [[Star Trek: The Original Series|Mirror Spock]], in fact.
Line 436:
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]] - Aside from the above, [[Audio Adaptation|his drama CD]] reveals that Yamazaki lived a happy life as a mobster until his boss was killed, prompting Yamazaki to snap and become the psycho we know, love, and fear.
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]
* [[Flanderization]] - Believe it or not, there was a time when (as early as his first appearenceappearance in ''Fatal Fury 3'', in fact) while we won't say he was wholly sane, he had a lot less screws loose, his in-game mannerisms then being a good deal more calmer, with the occasional [[Maniacal Laugh]] (hell, in ''Fatal Fury 3'' and ''RBFF'', it used to be a darkly sly little chuckle), to the point where his psychopathy would be considered more an [[Informed Flaw]]. Later games (''KOF'' series notwithstanding) put the psychopathy front and center, making Yamazaki into the nutter we all know and love, which puts into perspective how [[Tropes Are Not Bad]].
* [[Fur and Loathing]] - Just look at that [[Badass Longcoat|pimp coat]].
* [[Knife Nut]]
