== History==
Before the events of the show Yukari was once an active member of the Kyoshi Warriors. Yukari used to be a Kyoshi Warrior, which explains her fighting skills and how much she's good at using a war fan as a weapon. As an adult, she became the mayor of Kyoshi Island and gave birth to a daughter, Suki. A daughter became a warrior just like her. 
When the Kyoshi Warriors returned with a captured Avatar Aang and his teammates, Sokka and Katara, Yukari gave them 48 hours to stay on the island after being convinced by her daughter to allow them this time. She initially found Aang to be a danger to himself and other people because of his lack of training. Despite keeping her distance, Yukari changed her mind about Team Avatar and was seen smiling when she was watching Suki and Sokka staring to fall in love. 
The next morning, Yukari and the others are confronting Zhao and his soldiers when they arrived at the Kyoshi Island and fought against them until they're outnumbered. 
After watching Avatar Aang transform into Kyoshi and defend the village from Admiral Zhao, Yukari thanked Team Avatar and decided that the village was going to return to the world and join the war. She and the other villagers bowed to Aang, who returned the gesture before the group parted ways.
