 "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (1961) is a Hollywood classic that centers on the romance between young New York socialite Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) and a man who moves into her building.

Character's Background

Mr. Yunioshi is Holly's hot-tempered Japanese landlord, who she consistently tries to avoid.
