Early years
Born to Japanese X-League Legend Hayato Arima and US Ambassador Alice Yaki in Osaka, Japan. His proper name is テリー•焼 (Terii Yaki). From a young age Terry Yaki played peewee football with his father being the coach of his teams and teaching him all of his roffesional knowledge along the way. Yaki then played American Football at Osaka Prefectural Kitano High School. Yaki was reluctant to tryout for the American Football team at his school in his first year due to conflict about following in his father's footsteps. However after accidentally showing the school's coach his hidden talent and the coach beggin him to join Yaki reluctantly joined the at the beginng of the next year's season. Starting in his junior year he made it to and won the Christmas Bowl in his first and second year playing at Kitano. He was scouted by several American schools but ultimately took the only FBS offer at South Florida.
College career
Yaki started as a red shirt freshman at USF after quickly proving himself in training camp. In his first season at USF he racked up 1,977 total rushing yards and 13 TDs. In notable breakout games against UCF and ECU he broke 200+ yards and secured vitcory within the firt half. This was all despite the waning Charlie Strong's playcalling which ultimately cost Yaki and the Bulls their chance at a post season. After being ousted from his contract and position as head coach Charlie Strong's poor playcalling was no longer there to bog down Terry Yaki and the rest of the USF offense. The next season Yaki was once again named the starting running back for the Bulls. With the new head coach Jeff Scott leading the way Yaki brought the Bull's offense to new heights. In the season opener against Memphis, Yaki ran for 221 yards and 3 TDs. After a string of weaker in conference opponents which proved no match, Texas from the Big 12 showed what Yaki was really made of. Amassing 151 yards and 2 TDs, his 49 yard touchdown run on the Longhorn's defense sealed the game. After beating in state rival UCF in the War for I4, Yaki once again showed his mettle against Michigan in the Orange Bowl. He was unanimously voted for the Doak Walker Award after putting up a 2,194 yard season with 21 TDs. Rather than try for the FBS playoffs in his next two seasons Yaki forwent his Junior and Senior year to declare for the 2039 DSFL draft.
