## Bio

A second year student at Yasogami High School, and the fourth member of the Investigation Team. She is the sole heir to the long running Amagi Inn, an inn run by her family in Inaba. Despite being adored by several male students at her school, she was extremely shy when interacting with others, aside from Chie Satonaka. Prior her second year at Yasogami High, she briefly met the members of S.E.E.S..

After being forced into the world inside the TV and being in danger of becoming the third victim in Inaba's murder case, Yukiko's subconscious manifested as a medieval castle that housed her Shadow. Her Shadow represented her inner feelings of frustration of having no choice but to one day inherit the Amagi Inn, and wanted to someone to free her from her “cage”, unaware that Chie have always been on her side when she’s needed. With the help of the Investigation Team, she accepted her Shadow, changing it into the Persona Konohana Sakuya. At this point, she became much more open to others, and decided to join the Investigation Team to discover who the killer really is.

Sometimes after the recruitment of Kanji Tatsumi after helping him handling his flamboyant Shadow, who is now becoming his new Persona Take-Mikazuchi, Yukiko and Chie cooked a poisonous curry known as Mystery Food X during a school camping. Prior joining the Investigation Team, Yukiko was one of the last persons to see Mayumi Yamano alive when she was visiting the former’s inn at night, where she is murdered by the killer, and eventually leading Yosuke Hanamura’s crush, Saki Konishi becoming the killer’s next victim in few days later. After helping in stopping the culprits (namely Tohru Adachi and Persona universe’s Izanami), Yukiko continue her family inn works.
