  The recent discovery of the Higgs-like resonance at $125\,\rm{GeV}$ has
opened up new avenues in the search for beyond standard model physics. Hints of
such extensions could manifest themselves as modifications in the Higgs-fermion
couplings and other Higgs related observables. In this work, we study aspects
of a class of models where the light fermion masses are radiatively generated.
Specifically, we consider models where the light fermion masses, partially or
completely, arise from chiral violation in the soft supersymmetry-breaking
sector. In these models, the radiatively generated Higgs-fermion Yukawa form
factors have non-trivial characteristics and will modify Higgs-fermion
couplings from their standard model expectations. A radiatively generated
fermion mass could also potentially contribute to large anomalous magnetic
moments; this is particularly interesting in the case of the muon where a
persistent discrepancy, at the level of around $3\,\sigma$, has existed between
experiment and theory. Deviations in the Higgs-fermion couplings will
eventually be probed to high accuracy in the near future, at the LHC and the
planned ILC, to less than a percent. The prospect of a large, unknown
contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment could be reaffirmed as well,
in future experiments. All these reasons make it worthwhile to revisit models
of radiatively generated fermion masses, and investigate some of their general
characteristics in these contexts.
