Masami Yoshida (吉田正美 Yoshida Masami) is a supporting character in The Amazing World of Gumball. She is the spoiled-rich daughter of the owner of the Rainbow Factory, Mr. Yoshida, and Yuki Yoshida. She made her first appearance in "The Third" when she is seen in the schoolyard.

Her first major appearance was in "The Pressure," where she pretended to be Darwin's girlfriend to impress the other girls.

Appearance

Masami is a small, white cloud with hollowed-out holes for her eyes and mouth. In the promotional pictures, she has eyelashes, but in the show, she does not. In early model sheets, Masami was colored half-light pink, half-white. In the early reel, she had a more thick outline.

When afflicted with a negative emotion (such as sadness or anger), she turns gray and stormy. This has been seen on three occasions: in "The Pressure," where she cries when Darwin dumps her, in "The Party," where she zaps Gumball for insulting her, and most notably, in "The Storm," where she goes on a rampage for Alan's love. In this state, she becomes powerful and dangerous, wielding the ability to generate lightning bolts, powerful tornadoes, hurricanes, and other strong winds capable of smashing through solid concrete.

It was revealed in "The Gift" that Masami has legs, and that she wears long rainbow toe socks over them. 

Personality

Being the spoiled daughter of the owner of the local Rainbow Factory, Masami is a bit of a snob. As a result of being so rich, she has a smug sense of superiority to her fellow students, taking every chance she can to show off. An example of this was in "The Pressure," where she forced Darwin to be her boyfriend to impress the other girls. She is seen throwing tantrums when she does not get her way, and everyone assumes that she will ask her father to fire the parents of anyone who disagrees with and/or annoys her. This is because a significant amount of the townspeople work at her father's rainbow factory, therefore such a request could hold much weight.

She also seems to be a narcissist, being so obsessed with her appearance that she refuses to enter the pool for fear of her hair getting wet. More evidence of this was when she got jealous of all the attention Molly was getting for her treehouse. She immediately directs their attention to herself and starts showing off, bragging that she has a boyfriend and they do not.

Masami does not seem to be able to take criticism well. When someone annoys or angers her, she sometimes gets gray and stormy and zaps whoever that person was with lightning. When she gets sad, she turns gray and starts raining, in other words, sobbing.

In "The Gift," it was revealed that Masami just wants to be treated as an ordinary girl, instead of royalty.

Abilities

Atmokinesis: When sad or angry, she can produce rain and lightning bolts from her body. She even can produce a tornado when in full rage and can create strong winds by blowing out or inhaling heavily. She can produce snow when she has a brain freeze.

Trivia

  • Masami is a popular Japanese name, indicating that her family is of Japanese origin. This is further confirmed with her father and mother having Japanese accents and her last name is confirmed to be Yoshida, a common Japanese surname and her mother also having the Japanese name Yuki. Her name is also the Japanese word for "considerate beauty." Additionally, her human form in "The Inquisition" resembles a Japanese schoolgirl. 
    • The meaning of the name differs with respect to the kanji characters used, 成 (masa) "become" and 美 (mi) "beautiful." Other writings include:
      • 惟美, meaning "considerate beauty"
      • 真己, meaning "true self," "truth," and "snake"
      • 昌美, meaning "prosperous beauty"
      • 雅美, meaning "gracious beauty"
    • Her surname, Yoshida, is the Japanese word for "lucky," "fragrant" and "ricefield."

  • In "The Apology," it was revealed that she can vomit rainbows.

    • Leslie with an 8-bit appearance.
    • Banana Joe with Tobias' rainbow colors.
    • Principal Brown as a white paper character.
    • Teri as a ghost.
    • Carrie completely covered in Principal Brown's fur.
    • Gumball as a floating head with a tail and without ears.
    • Alan with Gumball's body, arms, legs, and ears.
  • Her last name is revealed to be Yoshida in "The Gift."
    • The same episode reveals that she also has legs.
