Yoko is one of the twelve dudettes.
She wears a Japanese kimono and has chopsticks in her hair.
There are three versions of this figure: Red, green, and neon green.
The neon green was part of the Hot Feet series. The only other dudette to get the Hot Feet treatment was Andie. The two shades of green Yoko might be hard to distinguish, especially if you are just looking at one without the other next to it. However, you can always tell the Hot Yoko by her bright pink chopsticks.
Yoko is a popular Japanese female name. The most popular person with this name (at least in the US) is Yoko Ono, the widow of musician John Lennon.
I thought for a minute that the inspiration for this figure might be the fictional character Yoko Littner -- the warrior woman from the anime Gurren Lagann. After all, this character even wears chopsticks in her hair. However, this show did not start until 2007, and the TDD figure came out in 2002.
Maybe Yoko is a reference to some other famous fictional Japanese woman warrior?
