Personality[]
Yoshiharu is a hospitable, kind-hearted, and hardworking man. As he makes it his life's mantra to be able to serve customers as perfectly as he can, ensuring that he makes no error as humanly possible.
He has been upholding this tradition for as long as he has been a bartender at his family cafe, the Swallow Cafe, up until he meets Noko Shikanoko, that is. As all, including his composure, falls apart at the idea of having failed the expectations of a customer for the first time.
Despite all this, he seemingly has a somewhat traditional view of what the younger generation is into, assuming that Noko is like most other high school girls, and puts on J-pop music, replacing the jazz playing before she and Koshi enters the cafe, and even goes out of his way to makes the dessert into a cute-looking deer, assuming Noko would want to post it online.
At the end of their visit, he is advised by Noko how his efforts was what truly mattered, making him change his views on his own service.

Trivia[]
- His surname, Tsubameya, is the Japanese term for the swallow bird, it is also what his cafe is named after.
- His first name, Yoshiharu, means "joy/pleasure" - befitting the nature of the customer service he provides.
- His seiyuu, Takuya Eguchi, is best known for voicing Loid Forger from the animated series, SPY×FAMILY.
- He shares his English dub voice actor with Tsunoda, as both are voiced by Josh Portillo.
- In the anime, it is revealed he was on the cover photo of the September 2022 issue of Hino-zine for his coffee and service.
- Because his debut chapter was adapted much later into the anime, the cameo from "The Deer Club in the Crosshairs" marks the first time the Swallow Cafe is shown in the anime, as opposed to what would have been an adaptation of this chapter.
- In the anime, the cafe was also made into a hybrid of also being the Tsubameya family household.
- It is also worth noting that it was Yoshiharu himself who is shown reacting surprised and asking what made his sister, Tsubameya Chiharu, blush so happily after she returns from school. However, in the anime, this was an offscreen voice instead.
- Despite his overthinking and desire for perfection, he is one of the three characters (along with Torako Koshi and Neko Nekoyamada) who is also self-aware of Shikanoko's logic-defying antics.
