Inazuma Eleven (game)

 * "A cool captain renowned as a legendary striker." 

Background
When Yuka was young, she was shown to be a talented player. Her parents would often come to her games to cheer for her. They said that she had a talent for soccer and they were tremendously happy for it. However, after her mother's death, it was as if her father became a completely different person. He wants Yuka to quit soccer and become a doctor. Yuka and her father have been arguing about this ever since.

Right before the finals in the Football Frontier last year between Kidokawa Seishuu and Teikoku, Yuka's sister, Yuuka, had an accident and was in a coma ever since. After this, her father grew even worse. Yuuka was hospitalized in Inazuma General Hospital, where Yuka's father worked.

Yuka thought that if she hadn't played soccer, the accident wouldn't have happened to Yuuka, and wondered how she can simply relax and play soccer when she is suffering. Yuka keeps an amulet made by Yuuka, and swore that until she wakes up, she wouldn't play soccer.

Appearance
She has black eyes and fiery white, braided hair and a partially pointed spike on the right side of her head.

Personality
She's cool and calm at most situations. She cares deeply for her sister and has a strong passion for soccer. When one of her team members aren't doing well, she kicks the soccer ball hard at them. And when they look at her in surprise, she makes them realize their mistake and corrects them. This shows that she takes interest in other people and understands their feelings and shares their sorrow and happiness at all times.

In the manga, she is portrayed more mysterious. After she was made captain, she still wanted to quit the club, as because the soccer club itself was not functioning well, and that the defense was not good as well.

Season 1
Yuka's sister, Yuuka, was in a coma because of Kageyama's interference to stop her from playing against Teikoku. She keeps an amulet made by her, and vowed to never play soccer again. But then she was struck by Junko's "never give up" attitude telling her that her sister would have wanted her to play soccer the most, she then regains her passion for the game. She changes her promise to become the champion of the Football Frontier. She is first not accepted by the Mukata triplets, but later, when they sees Yuka working hard to complete Flame Drop, their respect for her as a captain and the ace striker of Kidokawa Seishuu grows, and the triplets do not accept anybody other than Yuka as Kidokawa's ace striker.
