Mike Sano

Mike "Yote" Sano, also known as Mikeyote, or coyotoy on IRC (born July 1, 1981), is a coyote fursuiter who lives in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.

Yote has known about the furry fandom since the early-to-mid 1990s, but feels he has been a furry all his life.

Plushies and Furries
Yote was the main subject of Rick Castro's documentary Plushies and Furries. After the airing of the program, an anonymous user on Pressed Fur posted e-mails purportedly from Yote, saying "it was all faked and made up by pyewacket so that he could have drama and a story".

In 2004, it was reported on Crush Yiff Destroy that Ash Cairo had created a deck of furry-themed playing cards. In the suit of spades (reserved for "OMG ANTIFURRIES"), Yote was assigned the Eight.

Fursuits
Yote helps his mate, RedXIX, build fursuits. Costumes that they have collaborated on include Mojave (a coyote) and Tabitha (a bat).
