==Biography==
Uriko is one of the numerous children who was kidnapped by Tylon for experimentation, particularly due to her zoanthrope genes inherited from her mother. She is brainwashed and transformed into the ultimate beast, known as Prototype Uranus, but she was defeated and rescued. When her mother, Mitsuko, was kidnapped, she attempted to transform into the form she took in the past, but the experimentation had left her beast form in an unstable state, transforming her into a were-cat instead.
In desperation, she sought out Long and became his pupil in learning how to become strong enough to save her mother, eventually gaining help to do so from Yugo and the others. But later on, she joins up with Yugo and Alice's duties against Tylon out of boredom of the mundane life she has otherwise. She is childish and bubbly and prone to making a few random outbursts, and she is also very clumsy.
==Trivia==
