Yuri Kobayashi

**Yuri Kobayashi** (小林 百合, *Kobayashi Yuri*?) is a minor character in the *Nijiiro Days* series. She is the ex-girlfriend of Natsuki Hashiba who dumped him at Christmas Eve.

## Appearance

Yuri is noted to be a cute teenage girl who was depicted on having dark-colored eyes and straight hair that reaches down to about her shoulders with her fringe mostly draping over the left side and she was usually depicted with a headband.

## Personality

Yuri was initially seen being a very sweet, innocent and kind girl with a maiden heart just like Natsuki Hashiba, and somewhat of a naive personality. She was also being very nice and polite towards him and everyone around her. However, this is only a facade for her real personality: she is very blunt, straightforward and seems to play around with several boys due to the purpose of being a gold digger and wanting expensive things for her boyfriends, Natsuki included. This is why she isn't grateful towards less cheap or fashionable items she receives at all. She shows this side to only her closest friends and tries to keep up her sweet demeanor around others, but when things don't go her way, she becomes very annoyed.

## Plot

Yuri had confessed to Natsuki Hashiba and they started dating. Their relationship progressed steadily and Yuri constantly tried to make time to meet him. They decided to go on a date at Christmas Eve, but some time before that, Yuri met with her friends. When they asked about her current boyfriend, she didn't really know who they meant but later explained that Natsuki wasn't bad at all since she had seen him having a really nice watch the other day. Tomoya Matsunaga and Keiichi Katakura overheard this conversation and told the news that she was "a gold digger" to Natsuki but he refused to believe this. When they went on their date, Natsuki gave Yuri a muffler which disappointed her as she had expected to receive something better such as designer things, to which Natsuki finally realized that his friends were indeed right. When Yuri requested to continue with the date, Natsuki refused and told her that the expensive things he had received were from his sisters, which made her disappointed and annoyed that she proceeded to dump him.

After she ended the relationship, it is unknown on what happened to Yuri as she has not been seen or heard from again, but it could be possible that she is dating another guy just for his money.

Yuri seemed to be much in love with him, calling him by his first name, always being very nice, sweet and casual around him and stated several times that she was always excited meeting him.
