==Description== Yumi is described to luck to tough on the outside but very soft on the inside.Yumi is 14 years old (turned 15 years old in season four), and therefore the oldest member in the group for most the series. As stated above, this has made her the mature person of the team, giving her the task of making sure the other members, like Odd and Jeremie, don't get into trouble. She also has a crush on Ulrich, which unfortunately due to interference by Sissi and William, never runs smoothly. In season 3 Yumi tells Ulrich that she wants to be "good friends and nothing more" Yumi also seems to have a brother-and-sister relationship with Jeremie, who seems to consider her third-in-command (with Aelita being second-in-command, of course). Yumi usually talks to Jeremie about her feelings about Sissi, Ulrich, and the others, as seen in Big .

Yumi likes wearing black, and all her clothes (and her hair) are that color. She is of Japanese descent, and even did a cultural report in school on Japan in The Girl of the Dreams, bringing in some traditional samurai armor (she claims it to be "something that has been in my family for centuries"). She could be in trouble from some of the seasons and episodes. She also rarely integrates Japanese words into her speech, which only Ulrich and Odd can understand. Yumi is the only student not boarding at Kadic. She lives with her parents and her younger brother, Hiroki, in a house not too far from Kadic, as she walks to and from the school. Yumi also loves animals and loves kiwi Odd's dog.

Yumi's Lyoko attire is modeled after a Japanese geisha. She is very protective while on Lyoko, often jumping in to save the day at the last moments. It has been shown she is quite athletic in Lyoko, often leaping high into the "air" before throwing her Tessen Fans, her primary weapons. In Double Take Yumi's outfit changes so that she wears a black and bright red body suit with hot pink details and shoulder pads with sakuras on them. Yumi no longer has the geisha makeup on however she has two strange pill shaped objects above her eyebrows for her telekenesis. In Lyoko, she can also use telekinesis to disable her foes, usually be dropping virtual rocks on them. She is easily exhausted by this mode of defense, however. Her tessen fans now appear and disappear at her will (as long as they are in her hands) rather than concealed behind the yellow bow on her back. On Earth, it has been shown Yumi is an excellent fighter. It seems she is skilled in various forms of oriental martial arts, including Pencak Silat, which she practices with Ulrich, as she fights her clone bravely in Image Problem, and is quite strong despite her physical build. She is also quite fast in the real world, known to even outrun lasers from military satellites. She is also quite persuasive, as she often convinces teachers to let her go during a XANA attack. Being mature and intelligent, Yumi usually isn't bothered by Sissi's rude comments, and has been known to understand Herb's plight and motives, as seen in The Robots. She doesn't have a strong opinion of the other students, although she has a good relationship with Jim (why is unclear). Yumi is also a good student.
