Biography[]
Posing as a tour guide[]
Yuki showing Noa around Macau
By 2023, Yuki was serving under Sei aboard the Exitus research vessel in Macau, China. That year, Abstergo identified the Korean-American student Noa Kim as a descendant of Edward Kenway through the WhyYou genealogy site, and lured him to Macau on the pretense of a vacation prize trip. Yuki was tasked to play the rule of a tour guide and greeted Noa at the airport before taking him to visit various landmarks around the city.[1]
After ending their tour, Yuki brought Noa to a park and told him to go for a walk while they waited for a car to come pick them up. With Noa alone, Yuki contacted Mitsuko Nakamura, who dispatched two Abstergo agents to kidnap Noa and bring him back to the Exitus. There, Noa was forced to relive Edward's memories in the Animus under Sei's supervision, to help the Templars find a Piece of Eden.[1]
Ambushed by Doom Eagle[]
Sometime later, Yuki joined Sei and Noa on an expedition to Cebu in the Philippines, where they sought to retrace Edwards's footsteps. As Noa stood in front of a statue of Lapu-Lapu, Yuki appeared alongside Sei behind him, leading Noa to recognize her as the "tour guide" from Macau. Yuki sarcastically greeted him, revealing her affiliations with Abstergo and stating that she would be Noa's tour guide once again in Cebu.[2]
Yuki providing cover fire for Noa and Sei to escape
While travelling around Cebu looking for leads, the Abstergo convoy containing Yuki, Sei and Noa was ambushed by members of the Doom Eagle criminal organization, who sought to rescue Noa.[2] The car transporting the trio was able to escape through an alley, but several Doom Eagle thugs gave chase on motorcycles. Yuki pulled out her concealed rifle from her briefcase and managed to gun down one of the pursuing thugs, but was soon overwhelmed. When she contacted the Abstergo headquarters for backup, she was told to head to a nearby shopping mall, where both the local police and Sigma Team would arrive shortly.[3]
At the mall, the Abstergo car was hit by a truck, sending it flying into a fountain. Yuki was severly injured in the crash, but continued to exchange fire with the Doom Eagle thugs that had cornered the group. After Noa helped Sei out of the wrecked car, she was shocked to see Yuki's injuries, but the latter assured her that she would be fine and told Sei and Noa to head into the mall. She also gave Noa her bracer, which contained a retractable electric shock baton, and ordered him to keep Sei safe before resuming her gunfight with the thugs.[3]
Ultimately, Yuki survived her shootout with Doom Eagle, though her injuries required her left arm to be placed in a cast. After the thugs retreated, Yuki was reunited with Sei, who was relieved to see she was alive. When Noa arrived escorted by Sigma Team, Sei reprimanded him for throwing her off a balcony earlier. Upon hearing this, a furious Yuki requested permission to use "lethal force" against Noa, but Sei told her it was not necessary as they needed Noa alive for the Animus. Following this, Yuki accompanied Sei and Noa back to the Exitus.[4]
Personality and traits[]
Yuki and Sei smiling at each other
While at first glance Yuki was an extremely cheerful and friendly woman, this was just a ruse.[1] In reality, she was a hardened, serious and ruthless special forces agent who would stop at nothing from accomplishing her objectives. She was very observant of her surroundings, as seen when she anticipated Doom Eagle's ambush after noticing a suspiciouly large number of traffic accidents in Cebu. She also possessed somewhat of a sarcastic and dark sense of humor, which she displayed in her interactions with Noa Kim.[2]
Yuki was very loyal and devoted to her boss, Shimazu Sei, being willing to give her own life for hers. After being injured during Doom Eagle's ambush, she trusted Noa to protect Sei in her stead and threatened to "hunt [him] down to the end of the Earth" if anything happened to her boss.[3] Upon learning that Noa had thrown Sei off a balcony, Yuki became furious and threatened to use "lethal force" against him until Sei told her it was not necessary.[4]
Equipment and skills[]
As a bodyguard, Yuki was well trained in both marksmanship and hand-to-hand combat and always carried a weapon with her. During her time in Cebu, she carried a briefcase which contained a concealed assault rifle. She also wielded a non-lethal melee weapon in the form of an electric shock batton that extended from a bracer, similarly to a Hidden Blade, though she later gave it to Noa Kim.[3]
Yuki was implied to be extremely physically strong, as just her pinching Noa's cheek was enough to cause him considerable pain.[1]
