Like his son, Jōichirō is laid back but a professional and has a serious side that emerges whenever he is cooking. Jōichirō's catchphrase and pose: "It Wasn't Much!" Unlike Gin, Jōichirō's coat was unbuttoned, his tie was rarely tied up to his neck, his dress shirt was open and his undershirt was visible. His eyes were much more relaxed and carefree. His hair was just as unkempt, but missing his signature long bang and much shorter. In his youth, Jōichirō's overall appearance resembles Sōma's current appearance. Upon his return to Polar Star Dormitory, he wore a tight black shirt and slacks. His outfits when shown are usually his standard Yukihira cooking uniform or a professional white chef's uniform when cooking in New York. His body is well toned and generally, wears form fitting shirts and pants. His eyes are sharper and more serious than his son, and he has a slight beard on his chin. Even when cooking, all of his hair is tied back except for that one strand. Jōichirō has long, brown hair which is swept back, save for a single group of bangs that hangs over his face down to his chin.
