He is a character in Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies.
An average boy who knew nothing of war, this unnamed child lived in San Salvacion on a cape, until the war took everything from him. At the end of summer vacation, he was riding his bike to school when he observed an air battle between two aircraft. One, an Su-37, shot down the other, which fell onto the boy's house. No one survived. The Su-37's tail number was marked "Yellow 13".
He then moved in with his uncle (a taxi driver) in San Salvacion. Soon after, the Erusean military arrived and occupied the town. Numerous changes were introduced, including a fuel rationing and curfew. The fuel ration hurt his uncle hard, being a cab driver, and he soon turned to heavy drinking.
The boy sustained himself by playing his harmonica in the local bar, the Sky Kid, for small change. A few days into the job, the usual Erusean soldiers were chased out and a number of Erusean Air Force personnel took over the bar. The boy soon discovered that one of them was the pilot who'd splashed the plane on the child's house - Yellow Thirteen. After spending a while in his company, the boy realized he couldn't find the words to confront him. They sat and accompanied each other, with Thirteen on a guitar. They soon became friends, and the boy got to know the Air Force pilots and spent hours at their improvised airstrip. The boy's uncle disappeared soon afterwards for unknown reasons.
One night, the boy was sleeping in the cafe after closing when some noise awoke him. He walked upstairs and stumbled into a meeting of the Resistance. He was roughly but quickly interrogated before the Barkeep's daughter took pity on the young child and let him go. Like with Thirteen, the boy and girl also became friends.
After Yellow Thirteen's wingman Yellow Four was Killed in Action, Yellow Thirteen drifted away. The war was turning in the favor of the Independent State Allied Forces, and Erusea was being pushed back.
One day, Yellow Thirteen went out on sortie and never came back. The ISAF forces came into the town soon after, and the boy went with some fleeing Erusean troops to try and find Yellow Thirteen.
Presumably, he had no luck, but found out that a pilot called "Mobius One" shot him down. He then wrote a series of letters to Mobius One, explaining why Thirteen was important to him and if he knew what happened to him.
Nothing is known about what happened to the boy after this point though the last cutscene showed him writing the letter as an adult.
