Design
Yukiko has dark brown eyes and has long straight black hair that is kept neat with her red hairband. In the TV World, like the rest of the Investigation Team, she wears glasses, which in her case are red-framed glasses. As with the rest of the Investigation team, she wears her school uniform slightly modified, Yukiko wears her Yasogami High School uniform along with a red cardigan sweater with black leggings.

On summer school days, she appears virtually the same, save for that she doesn't wear pantyhose even when inside the Midnight Channel and her sweater is now smaller and unbuttoned. On regular holidays, she wears a red dress and flame scarf, along with black, knee high-boots; while on summer holidays, she appears in a black shirt with puffy sleeves, a short white skirt and white sandals. At the summer festival, she wears a violet yukata with a pink obi.



In Persona 3 Portable (two years before the events of Persona 4), she makes a brief appearance where she dons a black seifuku uniform and has short hair with a white headband.

When she was a child, from her appearance in the anime, Yukiko had braided pigtails and wore a bright pink dress. She appears the same in the manga, but her hair is short.

In Persona 4 Golden during winter schooldays, she wears a beige coat with a red scarf and appears in a white snowsuit on the ski trip. During the winter, she wears a white v-collar top over a red dress white with a belt attached with a ribbon. She also wears brown arm warmers, matching pantyhose, and short brown boots. In the epilogue, her hair is up in a neat bun, and she wears a snow white dress with a sky blue cardigan and white sandals.

In Persona 4: Dancing All Night, she retains her summer school uniform, but the minor difference is that she wears a pair of red headphones, black knee-length socks and red sneakers.

Personality
Raised at an early age to be a prim and proper lady of traditional Japanese customs, Yukiko Amagi is a shy, reserved and soft-spoken teenage girl with a polite disposition and kind manners upon first impression. In Japanese, her honorific speech pattern stems from a branch form of Keigo (敬語; respectful language) called Kenjougo (謙譲語), a respectful and humble way to speak and interact with others. At her school, she is an intelligent high school student, earning top grades in her class and often repeating the material with her best friend since early childhood, Chie Satonaka. Having very few friends in general, she is popular at Yasogami High more for her traditionally beautiful looks and expected ladylike behavior among the guys (including Mitsuo Kubo and Yosuke Hanamura), and also her feminine qualities that girls admire and/or envy. However, this all initially makes Yukiko uncomfortable deep down since she knows it's mostly taken at face value, often rendering her to feel like a prized possession than an actual person ("The Amagi Challenge"). She relies on Chie a lot to scare away aggressive suitors like Mitsuo Kubo.

When not at school, she works very hard to continue the inn's business after her parents' retirement, often expected to keep a smile even while sometimes dealing with sleazy and vulgar patrons. She is aware of her high-class reputation in Inaba, being the heiress of one of Inaba's main attractions, but she doesn't let this get in the way of her physically demanding job or even how she treats people. Initially, she is burdened by her expectations to fall in line with society because she feels it is at the expense of her feelings and wellbeing, and displays low self-esteem, feeling as though she is inherently worthless outside of her pretty looks and fulfilled obligations. She doesn't open up to anyone out of fear of coming off as ungrateful but is stressing out over the pressure, and over time this festers up the malevolent energy of her Shadow she encounters in the TV world.

After her first-ever experience in the Shadow World, Yukiko expresses character development in new ways. No longer afraid to be herself, she actively engages with her friends and starts to think on her own terms, sometimes misinterpreting situations and/or laughing uncontrollably at things she finds funny, even if no one else does (i.e. laughing at a horror movie scary moment). A fellow kohai and friend, Kanji Tatsumi (in his "P4A" story mode) has stated Yukiko to be an open-minded and straightforward person. While members of the Investigation Team are surprised by her behavior that contrasts with her elegant and demure appearance, Yukiko is often noted for her empathy and courage, completely unflinching in the face of creepy atmospheres and surroundings. In contrast to her best friend, she isn't bothered in the slightest by insects and greatly enjoys horror stories, while Chie is easily frightened and can't stand the sight of bugs.



She truly appreciates her friends and cares about them, as well as her parents and staff from the Inn. A very selfless and supportive person, she will not hesitate to risk her life to save or protect those in need, even if she gains nothing out of it. She deeply values her hometown Inaba, and vows to become a strong, dependable person so that one day she in turn, will be able to support and protect her town and her people, just like they have graciously did for her growing up. She takes the well being of new friends she makes seriously, as in Persona 4 Arena when Yukiko solemnly promises to save Labrys from danger, protecting her from harm just recently after bonding with her (albeit this was in her own story mode) and Persona Q where Yukiko assures Rei and Zen they'll be safe as long as she's around, going so far as to being a bonding big sister figure to Rei after Rei asks her if she can call Yukiko "Yuki-chan."

Her biggest insecurity is being forced into a life that isn't hers. Her family runs the historical Amagi Inn, with the tradition of passing the heir to their offspring. Not wanting to disappoint the ones she loves, Yukiko accepts the obligations, doing her best to uphold them but also feeling suffocated. Chie becomes special to her because she protects her, fighting off unwanted attention from aggressive boys at school and cheering Yukiko up (such as keeping the dog Yukiko originally found so Yukiko can come visit him at Chie's house). But she realizes Chie cannot take her away from her demanding life. After being thrown into the TV, she is both elated and terrified to see the Investigation Team come to her aid, especially Chie. She's apologetic to Chie for seeing her as a codependent outlet for her woes instead of the genuine friend she once knew as a little girl.

She remarks how "weak and pathetic" she is to lean on others, begging them to leave her so they won't get burned alive by her cruel Shadow's flames. Yukiko is touched by Chie's refusal to do so and determination to save her life, backed up by Yu, Yosuke and Teddie's help, who all help her realize how strong-willed she really is. With her Shadow's defeat, this gives Yukiko courage to acknowledge her own weaknesses and challenge her ways, gaining her Persona as a result. When she escapes from the Midnight Channel, she becomes perfectly comfortable with the way her life is progressing, learns her family and staff support her life choices, genuinely loves her as much as she loves them, and realizes that she can control her life just as much as she desires to without any forced obligation. As a symbol of her improving self-esteem and confidence, her first decision she makes is to join the Investigation Team, despite understanding the dangers involved, showing her bravery and selflessness. Eventually as well, she decides to inherit the inn by her own free will.



Yukiko's sense of humor is unique, and can result in her having uncontrollable laughing fits. This is to represent her mentality, independent from societal pressure and based upon her own feelings and reasoning. For a time, she was comfortable to show it only around Chie, her family, and the staff, but opens up to other friends she feels safe around. If she doesn't find it humorous or get the joke, she will not even force a pity laugh. Her laugh is Yukiko's gesture of expressing herself honestly and openly to others.

Because of the way she thinks, she naively misinterprets social situations at times due to constantly working at the inn and having little free time to socialize and enjoy her youth. For example, during the night of the Fireworks Festival, Yosuke implied that Teddie searched for his adult magazines; she mistakes the implication as Teddie searching for Yosuke's money. Yukiko has never talked to boys on her own and lacks an understanding on what the opposite sex is like in general. This is why she gets extremely flustered whenever Teddie jokes about "scoring with a hot stud." One thing that greatly offends Yukiko is being sexually harassed or objectified. After slapping Yosuke when she thought he made a sleazy pass at her, she then apologized upon realizing the actual truth. She also slapped Kanji to forcibly stop him from inquiring about Yukiko's Shadow in a somewhat perverted-like fashion, apologizing for smacking him "too hard." Whenever Yukiko is angry or upset, others will remark on how terrifying and scary she can be when pushed.

Like her best friend Chie, Yukiko is known to be a horrible cook, a recurring joke in the series. On the school camping trip, the girls' attempt to cook dinner ended so horribly, Yosuke would refer to the curry they cooked and all of their future cooking as "Mystery Food X." Yukiko has an absurd cooking logic, mixing wildly inappropriate ingredients together in her cooking, ending up with distasteful results. Because Yukiko is a warm-hearted, sensitive girl, none of her friends have the gall to honestly admit their feelings about her cooking. Despite this, Yukiko isn't afraid to honestly input her thoughts on Chie's cooking, only because she finds humor in it. During the celebration of Mitsuo's arrest where the Investigation Team cooks omelets for Nanako Dojima, the one Yukiko made has no taste at all. This is of no issue during her Valentine's Day event, as she states that she had the chefs in the Amagi Inn prepare the protagonist's chocolate.

Persona 3 Portable
Yukiko is in her final year of middle school. She meets with the female protagonist and Rio Iwasaki while they are training in Inaba and helps them into their room. Yuko comments on how amazing it is that Yukiko helps run the Inn at such a young age. Kasai appears off-screen and tells her Chie has stopped by needing help with her homework.

Persona 4
Yukiko's family runs a famous hot spring inn, the Amagi Inn in the town of Yasoinaba, often mentioned in the news as "the treasure of Yasoinaba." Yukiko is expected to succeed the family business by becoming the manager of the inn, and is always busy training herself. Despite her apparent willingness to inherit the inn, Yukiko actually wants nothing to do with it, but is only obliged to do so. Because of her obligation, she often goes home quickly after school is over and may even have to skip classes.

She was one of the first members of the main cast that the protagonist meets at the first day of school, where she can be seen alongside her friend Chie Satonaka. When Chie was lashing out at Yosuke for a broken movie DVD, Yukiko stands by and watches before Chie tells her to go. Once they get out of school, an ominous-looking student appears and flirts with her, but fails at it. Chie criticizes the student for his poor social skills.



After the protagonist and Yosuke finish exploring the Midnight Channel for the first time, Yukiko asks the protagonist about his well-being after transferring schools from the city. She was then reluctantly interviewed on TV by an incredibly incoherent and incompetent reporter. During the end of that day, an image of Yukiko can be seen on the TV, causing Chie fear since she might become the next victim of the serial murders on the next day. She dials Yukiko to no avail, but fortunately (for that time being), when she calls the Inn, it turns out that she's just skipping school to attend arrangements.

During that night, the protagonist turns on the TV to check the Midnight Channel. A show called "Princess Yukiko's Search for Prince Charming" now plays, where Yukiko's image becomes clear and is dressed up as a princess on a journey to "score" with a "hot stud," or a Prince Charming. As Yukiko's behavior in the show was rather bizarre and unlike how she would normally act, Yosuke calls the protagonist and suggests that they meet up in the Junes Food Court the next morning. Unfortunately, the protagonist and Yosuke were accidentally arrested when Yosuke displays a Katana and a Golf Club in the open, and Ryotaro Dojima releases them but confiscates their weapons. It was at this moment that Chie also confirms that Yukiko vanished, indicating that she was kidnapped and will become the next victim of the serial murders if not saved in time. Realizing this, with the help of Teddie, the protagonist, Yosuke and Chie storm Yukiko's Castle.

If they don't rescue Yukiko by 4/29 (the deadline), the protagonist will hear sirens after seeing the fog setting in and receive a call from Yosuke to confirm that the dead body is Yukiko. The protagonist blacks out instantly afterwards and is summoned to the Velvet Room, where he will be given a choice by Igor to try again a week prior.



In there, Yukiko's voice echoes among a hallway, whining that she was useless without Chie helping her. This evokes a reaction on Chie and Shadow Chie manifests from her, who reveals that Chie was just taking advantage of Yukiko because she was worthless, and their friendship was a farce. Chie denies her double, which enrages it and it transforms into a monstrous form to attack the protagonist and Yosuke. They defeat Shadow Chie, and Chie reluctantly accepts her Shadow, allowing Chie to fight within the Midnight Channel.

Eventually, the party reaches Shadow Yukiko and the real Yukiko. Shadow Yukiko first playfully flirts with the protagonist, Yosuke and Chie, claiming that they will take her to a far away place (Or in other words, help her get out from her inheriting the Inn as its next manager) before changing stances and telling Chie that she is simply not helping. She then announces that Yukiko actually considers her inheritance as heiress of the Amagi Inn as a detriment and liability, then claims that Yukiko is a useless person who wants someone to help her get out of her historical inheritance. Yukiko denies this as truth and fueled by this, Shadow Yukiko transforms into a large red bird with Yukiko's face and hair, sitting in a cage. When her health is low enough, she summons a Charming Prince Shadow. The trio eventually manages to fend off the shadow, and with Yukiko eventually willing to face herself, the Shadow transforms into Konohana Sakuya, becoming Yukiko's Persona.

After her kidnapping and subsequent rescuing, Yukiko becomes a much livelier person upon joining the Investigation Team, and the party learns about her habit of breaking into sudden fits of laughter (usually after hearing a terrible joke or pun), which often surprises her peers. She also reveals a competitive side when Rise Kujikawa taunts her and Chie about making omelets for Nanako Dojima.

When the Investigation Team contemplates pushing Taro Namatame into the TV, Yukiko is strongly against killing Namatame out of making good memories with her newfound friends and allies, not one of them recalling murdering someone in cold blood, even if they happen to be the prime suspect. However, should the protagonist choose to throw Namatame into the TV, she will not relent or run away.

Regardless of the protagonist's decision, when the protagonist leaves Inaba and the train begins to leave, Yukiko is the first one to speak. With tears in her eyes, she thanks him and tells him to stay well until they meet again someday.

Persona 4 Golden
In Persona 4 Golden, the addition of bikes for the Investigation Team introduced a unique new way of obtaining skills for party members. By going on special forms of dates with each party member, involving the use of the bikes, the player is given the option of either having the party member in question learn a brand-new skill, or relearn any old skill that they have forgotten. The bike skills available to Yukiko are listed below. Additionally, like with Rise Kujikawa in Persona 4, each party member is able to learn new skills upon the player's progression of their Social Link. The social link skills that Yukiko learns upon the development of her Social Link are also listed below.



Yukiko can also perform a fusion spell with Chie called "Twin Dragons," whenever the following requirements are achieved: Yukiko and Chie are both in the active party, and An "All-Out Attack" is used, but the enemy is still active. When performing "Twin Dragons," Yukiko and Chie both run towards each other and summon their own Persona. A magic circle will appear beneath the enemy, with a golden dragon circling them. Shortly after, an apparition of a lily will appear to bloom, causing damage to the enemy group.

Social Link
Yukiko creates the Priestess Arcana Social Link with the protagonist, and through the protagonist's interactions with her, Yukiko expresses how she cannot live a normal teenager's life due to her status as the Amagi heir, and her wish to leave Yasoinaba instead of inheriting the Inn. She decides to become an interior decorator after her graduation. During their interactions, however, Yukiko also reveals that she is constantly being pestered by tabloid reporters after the murder of Mayumi Yamano, the first murder victim and TV announcer, who lived in her Inn before being murdered.

Yukiko also confesses her horrible cooking skills, and is worried that she would not be able to take care of herself after leaving the town. She asks the protagonist to sample her food during their interactions. Yukiko later enlists a cook of the Amagi Inn to teach her cooking, under the excuse of doing it for a boy. As the protagonist interacts with Yukiko, Yukiko slowly loses her urge to leave the town, gradually becoming guilty about wanting to turn her back on the people who have done so much for her. She eventually realizes how much she loves the Inn after being harassed by the tabloid reporters, who want to publish a story that would tarnish the Inn's reputation. Finally having enough, Yukiko angrily refuses all future coverage and threatens to complain to their sponsors if they try to retaliate.

By the end of the Social Link, Yukiko decides not to leave Yasoinaba, but to inherit the Inn and continue her family's legacy. Having finally found her resolution, Yukiko's Persona, Konohana Sakuya transfigures into Amaterasu.

Should the protagonist choose to establish a lovers relationship with Yukiko and accept her invitation on December 24, the protagonist bakes Yukiko a Christmas Cake; she will then give him a "Leather Keyring". Yukiko will also ask the protagonist if she can stay over for the night, admitting she had lied to her parents that she would sleep at Chie's house instead.

By leveling up the Priestess Arcana Social Link to Lv. 3, Yukiko will learn her distinctive follow-up attack, Fan Assault, where she performs a powerful attack with 100% critical rate and inflicts dizzy status on another active enemy, provided the protagonist strikes down a target.

Persona 4 Manga
In the manga, Yukiko's Shadow is defeated by Chie's Persona and transforms into Konohana-Sakuya after Yukiko confronts her other self, admitting that while a part of her does not want to inherit the inn, everyone she cares for is in Inaba. After Chie apologizes for not seeing the real Yukiko, Yukiko admits that the same is true of her, and that she'll get stronger on her own, saying that Chie is already very strong herself. She has an apparent crush on the protagonist.

Persona 4 The Animation
In the anime, Yukiko gets saved early on April 18th. After she wakes up inside of a castle, she sees an empty birdcage and recalls the time she had found a baby bird, and took care of it until it had matured. She had divided up her time between going to school, helping out at the inn and taking care of the bird. She watched it grow, and felt as if it were a kindred spirit, being locked up with nowhere else to go.

She comes home one day to see the door to the birdcage wide open, and the bird nowhere to be seen. A helper at the inn comes by and suggests Yukiko had forgotten to lock the cage door. She consoles Yukiko; in the castle, Yukiko encounters her Shadow Self.



After her Shadow Self transformed, instead of falling unconscious, she gets trapped in a birdcage. During the battle, she pleads for Chie to run away, but she refuses. She calls herself helpless, but Chie exclaims that isn't true. She says Yukiko is strong and can break free of that cage to soar, but Yukiko tearfully denies it. Back when she lost her pet bird, she wasn't heartbroken, but humiliated; she did forget to lock the cage, but this bird still had enough courage to open the gate and fly away on its own, unlike Yukiko. She believes she's horrible and a coward for wanting someone to free her, but Chie reaffirms how mistaken she is and how truly strong she is. Realizing she has everything she needs in life to succeed in life and that she has friends who truly care about her, Yukiko breaks free of the cage holding her captive, and embraces Chie.

After the battle is over, Yukiko walks to the Shadow she created from her desire to escape. She gracefully apologizes for rejecting her earlier and hugs her Shadow, admitting that she's a part of herself. Yukiko's Shadow Self nods and is reborn as her Persona, Konohana Sakuya.

Yukiko and Yu's bond is represented by the Persona, High Pixie.

Persona 4 Arena
In the game's story mode, Yukiko has become a more accomplished chef, and when she learns that the Midnight Channel has returned, she grows concerned, especially after Yukiko learns from Rise's manager that she has gone missing. She meets up with the others to investigate the TV world which has been reformed to resemble Yasogami High. Yukiko and the others are dragged into the strange tournament devised by General Teddie and finds herself fighting her friends, all the while trying to protect the boxed lunch she made, unfortunately which is later discovered to have been ruined.

Soon, the auditory illusions that are cast begin to bother Yukiko as she is reminded of the fact that she relies on everyone to do things for her. When she reaches the real Teddie, he inadvertently provokes her into fighting him and tries to force him to explain what's going on. With her is a girl claiming to be their student council president, which she bonds with. By the time they reach the announcement room, they find Rise and Yu.

After being forced to fight Yu, Yukiko's shadow appears to taunt her but, thanks to Yu and Rise, she holds her composure and defeats her shadow. But soon, General Teddie reappears revealing himself to be the president's shadow. The president in turn reveals herself to be an android named Labrys and shuts off her ego to fight her own shadow.

As Labrys gives chase to her shadow, Mitsuru Kirijo arrives; she and Yukiko pursue Labrys. They end up fighting each other as the Tournament is still in effect with Yukiko emerging victorious. Yukiko follows them back to the announcement room as Yukiko helped Labrys restore her normal personality and protected her against her shadow. Labrys is then able to awaken her Persona. The case having been solved, Yukiko and Labrys return with Yu and Rise back to their friends as well as Aigis, Akihiko and Mitsuru, the latter of whom congratulates Yukiko on a job well done.

However, all is cut short when Labrys suddenly shuts down and is taken over by one Mitsuru senses to be the real culprit of the whole ordeal. When the culprit forces Labrys to attack everyone, Yukiko takes it upon herself to stop her. Afterwards, the culprit explains what he is truly after and promises to return, disappearing and allowing Labrys to regain consciousness once again. After Labrys leaves Inaba and Yu and the others reform the Investigation Team, Yukiko and Chie both look for accessories to give Labrys when they see her again.

In Yukiko's gag ending, she has Teddie eat her boxed lunch, thinking it had healing properties (it actually made him sick). She decides to find the others, running into Yu in the process. After a short fight in which she wins, she violently force-feeds Yu the same boxed lunch, hoping it would help with healing him. The rest of the Investigation Team runs in, claiming the case is over, and as a celebratory gesture, she attempts to get them to eat her food. It is implied that she succeeded, since everyone ended up getting sick (she thinks it was possibly swine flu) and couldn't see each other for the rest of Golden Week.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
Only a few days after Yukiko and her friends helped Labrys overcome her shadow, Inaba becomes enshrouded in a thick red fog. In the P4 episode, Yukiko notices everyone from the inn has vanished and now all alone, she rushes outside of the inn to find her beloved town in a hazy vortex of crimson red madness. While trying to figure out the current situation, she runs into two Kanjis (much to her bewilderment) and cannot tell them apart. Later on Teddie arrives but he cannot seem to decipher the real Kanji himself, much to Yukiko's disappointment.

She develops an idea that sure and humorously enough proves who the real Kanji is, and after expressing disgust, the fake Kanji takes on Shadow Kanji's personality and forces the three to fight him in order to escape. Yukiko is more than ready to take him on, but Kanji feels that it is his responsibility to deal with his inner demon while Teddie shows reluctance to fight, saying it's too late for him "to step into THAT world!" Yukiko, Kanji and Teddie decide who gets to fight him, offering navigation and support as well, and eventually they defeat him with little to no problem. After they notice that the fake Kanji melted and turned into gold dust that scattered to the school's direction, the three leave the area with intentions of going to the school (which has been transformed into a warped, massive tower) in order to find answers.

When the three make it to the school, they are greeted by General Teddie, much to their shock and confusion. Yukiko becomes so angry upon seeing General Teddie on the TV screen that she spitefully smacks Teddie in front of her (she apologizes afterwards). The trio make their way into the school's music room where they find Akihiko Sanada crucified and unconscious. They also encounter a strange young man in a baseball outfit and confront him, only for him to reveal himself as another fake, summoning another ring and trapped the three, forcing them to fight once again.

The real one appears and descends from the ceiling but sadly is knocked out clean after hitting the roof of the ring trapping the three. With Teddie and Kanji, Yukiko manages to defeat the strange baseball-clad enemy, and just as before, he melts and scatters away in gold dust. When the ring clears and the man falls through, he regains consciousness and introduces himself as Junpei Iori to them all. Akihiko later wakes up, and Yukiko and the others are relieved to see he is okay. Freeing him from the cross, the newly formed quintet resolve to find and rescue the other kidnapped Shadow Operatives.

The group comes to the announcement room, and later discovers Aigis trapped on a bridge quite familiar to Junpei and Akihiko. Yukiko elects to rush in and rescue her, but Teddie insists that he swoops in and save her. Before they can come to an agreement, a slender young boy appears with an adorable but vicious-looking dog. They reveal themselves to be fakes and summon the ring, forcing the five to fight them before they can save Aigis. The two are beaten quite easily, but they are somehow able to fool Yukiko, Kanji and Teddie enough to attempt a surprise attack, which is deflected just in time by the real versions of the fakes they fought.

The real boy introduces himself as Ken Amada; his dog Koromaru, and scolds them for letting their guard down, which makes Yukiko, Teddie feel bad alongside Kanji, who remarks that he's "brattier than the fake one." After a while, Aigis is rescued, safe and sound. Yukiko, Kanji and Teddie express doubt in themselves and their abilities at this point but the Shadow Operatives acknowledge each of their strengths and encourages them to press on; this proves more than enough for the three to regain their spirits and join the Shadow Operatives and find Mitsuru and save her from harm's way. When the story shifts to Narukami reaching atop of the tower and resolving matters, it is implied that Yukiko stayed behind and fought off the encroaching Shadows alongside everyone.

After everything is returned back to normal, Yukiko is once again working away at the inn. She has found a way to keep her composure against her unruly, disgusting customers of the inn and even teases them for her amusement, much to the surprise of Kasai, Yukiko's elder and co-worker. While Yukiko is showing signs of becoming a more distinguished manager of the inn, her cooking skills have seemed to regress, much to her dismay.

In the P3 episode, she is fending off Shadow-type Rise at Junes when Junpei appears. Yukiko is quick to accuse him of being the culprit, but after a fight eventually breaks out between Shadow-type Rise and him, she quickly realizes he isn't the one and immediately apologizes. Junpei teaches Yukiko a "stranger danger technique" and she practices this, alerting the real Rise to her location and attacking Junpei thanks to the misunderstanding. After Yukiko explains everything to her, Rise herself apologizes to him (although the girls still think he's kind of a strange bearded baseball guy).

Junpei decides to locate his fellow friends, and Rise and Yukiko choose to do the same, just locating Naoto and a wounded Kanji through Rise's Persona, Himiko. Before they part ways, Yukiko wishes him luck and tells him to stay safe. Throughout the rest of the story, Yukiko and Rise battle countless Shadows throughout the town before getting lost in the fog and being unable to locate anyone, let alone Kanji and Naoto. Yukiko continues to fend off Shadows while Rise herself desperately attempts to connect with someone, which eventually she does three times—first with Mitsuru, second time with Teddie, then the third time with Mitsuru again. By the third transmission Mitsuru tells them to return back to Junes, since Yukiko and Rise discover they are closest to that area. There, Yukiko and Rise fight off the Shadows once more with burning resolve, and send Labrys support as she goes on to the tower and deal with the one true culprit of the case.

In the true ending, where everyone hangs out at Junes when all is said and done, Yukiko is seen having a good time with old and new friends alike, grooming Koromaru (calling him anything but his actual name), admiring Ken's youthful charm (much to the chagrin of Teddie), and hysterically laughing at Akihiko in Yukari's Feather Pink Argus helmet.

Playstyle
Yukiko is a zoning character whose style of gameplay resembles the regular Megami Tensei JRPGs: buffing and using magic while pestering enemies with projectiles. Armed with fire spells, she is typically played at medium-to-long range, shutting down her opponent's approaches, and can attempt to get them off with her Furious Action, Dia, which will heal her, and also act as a kind of less costly burst, throwing the opponent across the screen, as well as healing her. She can also hold down the button(s) she uses for Agi to set up a difficult situation to get out of or fool them into thinking it's safe to traverse.

All the while, Yukiko needs to find opportunities to use Fire Boost/Amp to increase the damage from her Agi spells as well as look for unblockable setups with Fire Break. She is, however, severely limited at short range and heavily dependent on her Persona to maintain her defense and extend her offense. Thus a Persona Break is especially limiting as many of her primary options are lost. She also has poor vitality and though she can heal it, Dia is not reliable as she sits still while using it and, if they read it, can predict when they will use it to punish them. On the other hand, once she reaches Awakening she can be quite a threat thanks to her heightened defense and Maragidyne, and her Instant Kill, In Full Bloom, is known to be one of, if not, the best finishers in the game due to its lack of superflash and ability to punish moves with poor recovery.

Her leitmotif's name is "Princess Amagi-ya." The OST disc has updated instrumentals such as a few more guitar chords.

However, on the Persona 4 The ULTIMATE in MAYONAKA ARENA Original Arrange Soundtrack, the remix, "Princess Amagi-ya -Traditional Taste Mix-" takes in a very slow tempo with more instrumental focus on the piano, flute and other oriental instrumentals.

Move List

 * Reversal/Furious Action: ディア (Dia): Yukiko's Furious Action. Yukiko summons a shield around her that knocks the opponent back (and deals very little damage). She can use this to avoid projectiles (except Chie's God Hand) and most Instant Kills. If she is hit, it is considered airborne since she levitates while in Dia so she cannot be thrown while in this state. She can use this for a combined accumulation of 15 seconds; after that, she can still use it, but she will not be able to hold it down to heal herself.
 * Skills/Special Attacks
 * アギ (Agi): A basic fire spell. Yukiko first summons Konohana-Sakuya for a physical attack, then issues a circular fire explosion that she can detonate at her will. In P4U2, if held down long enough, when released the Agi will release two explosions instead of one.
 * マハラギ (Maragi)

Score Attack
Yukiko is the third character the player faces in Score Attack. Yukiko begins each match at Level 8 Fire Boost and a Fire Break that will recover almost instantly. In addition, all of her fan moves shoot three fans instead of one.

Persona 4: Dancing All Night
These events take place six months after the P4 events and a few months after P4AU. Yukiko will enter inside the Shadow World once again, this time stepping on the dance floor with her friends in order to defeat the lurking Shadows and solve the latest case regarding Rise and her junior cohort Kanami Mashita, as well as Mashita's group, the "Kanami Kitchen." Her dance consists of an upbeat mix of ballet and traditional Japanese dance.

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth
Taking place during the Persona Q timeline, immediately following the Yasogami Beauty Pageant, a mysterious clock tower bell is heard by her and the rest of her team members, prompting Yukiko to tell the others about the "Seven Wonders of Yasogami High," including one of its myths stating that if you hear the bells to the end, you die. After the Investigation Team is transported to an alternate dimension school that bears an extreme resemblance to Yasogami, they encounter two "students" named Zen and Rei and a new group of Persona users called SEES, who all agree to leave this place together, dividing themselves into Team Gekkou and Team Yaso.

During P4 side's story, Yukiko forms a strong, sisterly bond with Rei, when Rei asks if she can call her "Yuki-chan" (not only a nickname Teddie, Kasai and some others use on Yukiko, but also similar to Yuki, Rei's only friend when she was alive), stating that Yukiko is like a big sister to her, and Yukiko gladly accepts, often acting as moral support for Rei. Yukiko takes great joy in the Evil Spirit Club, finding it hilarious rather than scary like most of the other girls with the exception of Aigis. She also tries to console others during it by telling scary stories while there, scaring them even more, specifically Chie.

She is excited to have made many new friends, including Rei and Zen, and forms a tight bond with Team Gekkou as well as securing an even tighter bond with her best friend Chie throughout these many trials. Towards the end of the game, once Rei regained her memories and she and Zen passed on into the afterlife, she is seen wishing her newfound SEES friends farewell and that "she had fun" before passing through a door that leads to her original timeline. With the memories of the adventure she just finished seemingly wiped away, she is seen helping out Chie and others with their studies that afternoon after having just finished school.

Persona 5
Although she does not make an appearance within the game, she and her Amagi Inn are briefly mentioned on the TV station Goro Akechi appeared on, on 12/14. As the host regards the Amagi Inn as a long-standing tradition with delicious food and relaxing hot springs, he describes Yukiko as a "beautiful young proprietress," remarking that it's worth the visit just to see her.

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth
During the Culture Festival, the Investigation Team is brought to an alternate world that resembles Yasogami High School. They meet and befriend two mysterious students named Rei and Zen, and later team up with another group called S.E.E.S to traverse through the labyrinths to defeat the Shadows that lurk in them in order to find their way home.

Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth
The team is venturing into the TV world when they are suddenly brought to a mysterious place. They encounter the Phantom Thieves of Hearts who explain the situation to them. As they work together to traverse through the movies and defeat the bosses, they encounter members of S.E.E.S, and all groups work together to defeat the enemy and return home.

Yukiko bonds with Yusuke Kitagawa and Haru Okumura while doing Special Screenings that allow them to learn combo attacks.

 * "No. It isn't. You are not... You're a liar! You are not me!" (rejecting her Shadow)
 * "What was I so afraid of before? There was never anything to fear. I have everything I need."
 * "I didn't notice the things that were bothering you either. I just wanted to escape. You see, that's why I created you. I'm sorry I didn't acknowledge your voice before. You're right I did want to leave and escape. It's true. It's how I've felt deep inside. You are a part of me." (accepting her Shadow)

Etymology

 * The name Yukiko means "snow" (雪) (yuki) and "child" (子) (ko).
 * Yukiko's surname Amagi means "heaven/heavenly, sky, imperial" (天) (ama) and "castle" (城) (ki/gi).

Trivia

 * Yukiko's character design was used as inspiration for Tomoe Tachibana of Trauma Team, while Maria Torres vaguely resembles Chie.
 * In the events of the Chariot Arcana Social Link, Chie reveals that she first met Yukiko during their childhood. The day that they met, Yukiko ran away from home with a dog. According to Chie, Yukiko was expressionless as a child, and reveals that Yukiko ran away from home because her family did not allow her to take in the stray dog. Feeling sympathetic towards Yukiko, Chie tries to make Yukiko smile, and the two eventually become best friends. Chie later reveals that the dog became her pet, whom she named Muku, though Yukiko believes the dog's name is Chosokabe.
 * In Persona 4 Golden, when Yukiko wears a Gekkoukan High School uniform, she will imitate Mitsuru Kirijo's victory pose and say her lines.
 * Yukiko is the only character in Persona 4 to have a higher SP than HP when fully healed at max level.
 * In Persona Q, when the team performs an All-Out Attack, Yukiko's portrait displayed on-screen beforehand has her face in a rather scowling expression, making her one of the few characters whose portrait slightly alters during an All-Out Attack sequence.
 * In the 7th episode of the Persona 4 The Animation English dub, Margaret misnames Yukiko's Arcana, calling her the instead of the.
 * In Persona 4: The Animation, Yukiko is the only member of the Investigation Team who keeps her weapon when summoning her Persona.
