Y is a character in Alphablocks.
He is voiced by Teresa Gallagher.
Appearance[]
He is a light yellow Alphablock with a tiny curl of hair sticking out from the top of his glass cap. He has round eyes, small eyebrows, and freckles on his cheeks. He sometimes has an alternating stripe pattern on his block whenever he is used as a vowel.
Personality[]
Despite acting like a young child, he will never give up in getting what he wants, not unlike a typical toddler. In Why, he wanted to join the vowel ensemble with a musical number.

Trivia[]
- Spelling-wise, he is a semivowel, a letter that is sometimes a consonant (yeast) but other times a vowel (sky, funny, and gym).
- Although he never says a short I sound in the series.
- He can say four sounds, most out of any single Alphablock. (one consonant sound and three vowel sounds)
- Contrary to common belief, Y is not the only semi-vowel. W and R are also considered semi-vowels, either by their sound (oowuh, erruh) or the fact that they can team up with vowels. However, he is the only fully-recognised semi-vowel.
- Y gains stripes when connecting with vowel Alphablocks or when saying a vowel sound. Below are the nine episodes that show him getting vowel stripes:
- Y is constantly curious. Most of the questions he ask have the word why, which is a hint to his inspiration.
- He appears to be the youngest out of all the Alphablocks.
- According to Band Together, he’s apparently a bouncer.
- Just like his best friend W, Y is voiced by a girl, as has been mistaken for a female by many fans.
- Y's favourite word is "yes", and he is the complete opposite of N.
- Y and T are the only consonants to be seen with stripes.
- However, unlike T, Y temporarily gets stripes when he is connected with a vowel, T's stripes are part of his design.
- When Y becomes a vowel, he usually makes I’s long sound.
