He got second fastest lap of his campaign in the second race, and then in the third race he achieved the best result of his campaign so far, a 2nd place. The fifth round at Misano was forgettable, as he failed to enter the top ten in all three races, with a 17th place, 12th place and a retirement in the final race.

The penultimate round of the championship at Lédenon started poorly with a retirement in the first race, but Yamakoshi would claim another podium in a second race, and would end the round with a fourth place. In the championship finale at Le Castellet he retired from the first two races but ended his maiden Formula 4 full-time season with a third place finish. Yamakoshi finished the championship in 5th place overall with 146 points.

F4 Spanish Championship

2023

Alongside his French F4 Championship campaign, he would add a second Formula 4 campaign to his schedule, driving for Tecnicar - Fórmula de Campeones in the 2023 F4 Spanish Championship. Yamakoshi scored points in his debut round at the Aragón, with a ninth place in his first race. His second round at Navarro saw him retire from two races and come 14th in the only race of the round he finished.

The rest of Yamakoshi's partial campaign saw him score various points finishes in inferior machinery, as he finished the season in 14th with 19 points.

2024

He partnered up with Monlau Motorsport for the fourth round of the 2024 F4 Spanish Championship at Aragón as a guest driver. Coming 8th in the first race, retiring in the second race and coming 14th in the third race. Since he was a guest driver he was eligible to score points, but was also the highest finishing guest driver by the end of the season.

Italian F4 Championship

For 2024, Yamakoshi's main campaign lied in the Italian F4 Championship with Van Amersfoort Racing, where he scored points in all three races in his debut at Misano, with a 6th place and two 4th places.

At Imola Circuit, he claimed pole positions in all three races, he got his first race win in the series at race one, after original race winner Freddie Slater was disqualified due to a technical infringement. Yamakoshi would also win the second race, but came 27th in the third race.

Imola would be the highest point in the series for him, as Slater would dominate the championship, leaving Yamakoshi to settle for podiums instead of fighting for wins. At the third round in Vallelunga Circuit, he came third in all three races, and enjoyed consistent success throughout his campaign, but would become less consistent in the latter half of the season, and scored no points at the final round at Monza, getting narrowly beaten by teammate Jack Beeton for series runner-up by two points. Yamakoshi finished the championship in 3rd place with two wins, three pole positions, three fastest laps, seven podiums and 220 points.

Euro 4 Championship

Yamakoshi also contested the 2024 Euro 4 Championship with Van Amersfoort Racing, where in the first race at Misano, he got a second place and then a win in the second race. He also picked up a second win in the second round at the Red Bull Ring, and would finish the championship in 4th overall, with 89 points.

Formula Regional

In 2025, Yamakoshi moved up to the Formula Regional European Championship, continuing with Van Amersfoort Racing.
