When Miyata was the JBC featherweight champion, Yagi was having a losing streak, so Miyata invited him to go fishing to cheer him up. However, despite his passion, he lacked any natural talent to survive as a professional and suffered a string of losses. At some point, Yagi was a professional boxer at the Kamogawa gym, having joined around the same time as Miyata Senior. While he was a professional mahjong player, he had Ōi Takachan and Murakami Jen as pupils, and helped the owner of the Otakugon start his business. Additionally, numerous fishing ponds and all mahjong parlours put up 'No Yagis Allowed' signs, with the fishing ponds doing it because they lost so many customers due to Yagi was catching all the fish. He is so skilful at both activities that it has been said that he could become the world champion of fishing and he did not lose once for twenty years at mahjong. When he fishes or plays mahjong, his personality changes, his face turns demonic looking, and some call him the ' King of the Underworld' (闇の王, Yami no Ō), or simply ' Yami' (闇, Yami), meaning 'Darkness'. Yagi was a master fisherman and a professional mahjong player that was unrivalled.
