The redraw meme Yotsuba&! parodies the cover of the second volume of the Yotsuba&! manga. It features three of the main characters in martial art-like poses: Yotsuba Koiwai herself (green hair), Yotsuba's adoptive father Yousuke Koiwai (grey shirt) and family friend Takashi Takeda, aka "Jumbo," (orange shirt). It has been popular to redraw since 2007 with fanartists, cosplayers and/or photomanip editors, enduring for nearly 20 years as of 2025.

It is common for gen (combi in Japanese) ships. It typically stars three characters, though may include two or four.
