whathoThese are not significant characters from fandom. They are every single character I could think of from anything beginning with the letter Y, which is barely even a real letter. In MY book. My book doesn't have words like 'my' in it.
Yosemite Sam - From Loony Toons. Bugs Bunny's arch enemy. Tiny and violent. I don't have much of a relationship with Yosemite Sam these days, but he was a not insignificant figure in the first four or so years of my life. I did quite enjoy those cartoons. They did a good line in compact fury.
Yorick - The jester/skull from Hamlet. Not the most interesting character in the play, but probably the second most famous.
Yellow Dog Dingo - I think technically he's just called 'Dingo', but the refrain goes 'Up jumped Dingo, Yellow Dog Dingo (always hungry, dusty in the sunshine etc.)', so he can count. He's out of the Just So Stories. The one about how the kangaroo got his legs. I used to know that story off by heart, it's so fantastically rhythmical, but I think I've mostly forgotten it now. Yellow Dog Dingo runs all over Australia, chasing the kangaroo till its legs go weird, and he grins like a horse collar, a rat trap and a coal scuttle. Which is a triffic collection of things to grin like.
Mr Younger - From the episode of Nightingales called 'Reach for the Sky'. He's the examiner who comes to the office block to oversee the competition Bell and Carter have entered with a view to winning a cracked eggcup and a housebrick. Mr Younger has a stroke as soon as he walks through the door, but they prop him up, feed him babyfood and then make him witness the competition anyway until he dies at the end of the one-act play. It sounds so disturbing on paper that I find myself faintly shocked.
Yoda - I don't care about Yoda. I can't abide Star Wars. What I like most about him is that his name begins with Y.

I'll give you letters if it's letters you want, but I have to warn you they might be pi.
