'''Hongo''' is a character from [[Game Boy Advance]]'s ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]''. He is the great spirit in control of the [[Forbidden Pop-Up Book]]. When [[Bowser]] starts wreaking havoc on Yoshi’s Island, Hongo traps the entire island within the pages of this pop-up storybook. While Hongo only intended to get rid of Bowser, he trapped everyone and everything on Yoshi's Island within the pages of this magic and forbidden book. But being the headstrong Spirit Chief he is, he refuses to free the Island from its papery prison because that would free Bowser too - which he just won't have. Only by locking Bowser away elsewhere can [[Yoshi]] convince Hongo to release the rest of the island, so Yoshi sets out to progress through the chapters of the book. To aid Yoshi in his quest, Hongo provides the [[universal gravitation device]], which allows Yoshi to manipulate his environment.
