Yuka's best known for her competitive karate background—she was a national champion and captained her team before deciding to pivot into idol work. Karate's a huge part of who she is, though she's determined to master dancing and singing too. It's kind of her thing: refusing to settle for just one skill.
What's weird about her is that despite karate being such a defining part of her identity, you won't actually see it reflected in her stage outfits or performances. Her first card shows her in a gi, back before she was an idol, but that side of her never made it into her public image. Instead, her signature look is her two ponytails—and she gets genuinely flustered if anyone catches her with her hair down, which fans find amusing given how tough she is in competition.
