Yukari Sendo (仙童 紫, Sendou Yukari) is the smartest student at Yōkai Academy, and the youngest at age 12. She is a witch, and always wears a typical witch costume (consisting of a hat and cape), which is considered by some students to be a violation of the school rules. As a witch, she has problems with her classmates discriminating against her (in the series, witches are viewed as "border beings", those that are something between humans and the supernatural, as it is impossible to tell their difference by appearance alone). Despite ranking #1 on the examinations, she was a lonely prankster before meeting Tsukune and Moka. She initially hated Tsukune, and claimed that she had fallen in love with Moka, and used her magical powers to try to drive them apart. However, after both Tsukune and Moka save her from bullying classmates, she falls for him too. Her obsession with both has driven her to try to create a three-way relationship between them (though shortly after Fang-Fang's introduction, she attempted to create a larger relationship involving Kurumu and Mizore as well.) Yukari has, on occasion, developed some bizarre items, often leading to funny results or farfetched situations. Yukari's parents, both highly skilled and adept in magic, appear during the start of the school festival seen in the anime adaptation, when they repair the torn-up academy.
Personality
Yukari tends to have a playful personality. Seeing as she started high school when she was eleven, this is not much of a surprise. She is very cheerful about most things. When she intialy went to school, the other students were predjudice against her, hurting her feelings and causing her to lash back at them with pranks. Yukari often gets into arguments with Kurumu over whether it is better to be flat-chested. Despite being a young kid, Yukari seems to "swing both ways" when it comes to love; she cares for Tsukune and Moka equally. As she is flat-chested, Yukari joyously squeezed Moka's own, claiming that compared to her own, Moka's breasts are a dream to have. Unlike the other girls, by the time Fang-Fang was introduced, Yukari has become accustomed to the idea of being a harem and doesn't want Tsukune to end things.
Under the influence of Lilth's Mirror, Yukari acts in a very perverted manner such as trying to get Tsukune to feel her up, which, unlike the other girls, is a bit more innocent in compassion.
Appearance
Yukari is the shortest in the group besides Kokoa Shuzen. She has short brown black hair and purple eyes. At school, she wears a different kind of uniform than most of her classmates, which is mostly due to her small size. She wears a yellow pleated checkered skirt like other female students, but she also wears a brown cape, a pink top, a pink courset, a pink shawl, a yellow bow, and a light brown witch's hat. She also wears brown shoes and pale yellow knee socks.
By the second sirialization, it seems Yukari is more respectful of the school rules as seen in the second chapter as she is not wearing her hat and cape in math class.
Manga
Year One
When she first got to Yokai, the students there were prejudice against her because she was a witch. Yukari bottled up her feelings of lonliness and hurt, and began getting revenge on the other students by pulling pranks on them. By the time of the midterms, Yukari had seen Moka numerous times and had fallen for her. After being saved by both Moka and Tsukune from the Class President, she decided that she was in love with both of them; she alos joined the News Club..
Around June, Yukari was next seen dropping objects on Gin and Kurumu's heads to keep them away from Tsukune and Moka. She also interrupted one of Tsukune's chances to ask out Moka. By the 21st, Yukari was helping with the missing girls case and found a dread energy clinging to Tsukune and Moka via her crystal ball. Knowing her predictions were normaly right, Yukari was relieved Tsukune was safe prior to him figuring out Ms Ishigami was behind the case. On Tsukune birthday, Yukari gave Tsukune her voodoo doll as a gift.
She was later stuck in the Newspaper Club during the weekened to get the July eddition finished. The club's hard work was nearly ruined by a slug monster obsessed with Kurumu (who even read the diary on her laptop). However, the paper was sucessfuly finished prior to Monday morning.
Yukari then helped hand out papers to the students, ending up being chased by boys who liked how cute she was. The Security Committee arrived and trashed the newspapers because they didn't pay a bribe to hand them out. Yukari later helped mend Tsukune wound from Keito's attack on them.
When Yukari first found out that Tsukune is a human, she didn't feel as disappointed as the others. In fact, she told Kurumu how she feels that it doesn't matter if someone is a human or monster, all that matters is if he/she is a good or bad person. It's because she was always bullied by other monsters and the person who saved her was a human, which she has always been scared of until she met Tsukune.
Year Two
Yukari met Fang Fang who she thought was an idiot. However time passed, she became more understanding toward him and eventually became his friend. She actually worries about Fang Fang about his leadership of the Wong family and when he is injured.
Anime
Year One
Yukari's first appearance was in episode 3 when all the students are reading the test ranks and she comes first she injures Tsukune Aono whilst he is in the infirmary. With Kurumu Kurono she uses a voodoo doll and makes Tsukune touch Kurumu's breasts and pull down her panties whilst Moka Akashiya is in the room she gets caught by the three and later bumps into the Lizardman she gets taken to the forest to be eaten but saved by Tsukune, Moka and Kurumu then she falls in love with Tsukune. In episode 9 she meets a fellow witch called Ruby Toujo who thinks all humans are the enemy.
Abilities
Yukari's abilities seem to revolve around summoning and controlling household items, such as brooms, pots, and pans. It is unclear if she can summon and control other items, though during a major fight she suddenly developed the ability to use razor-sharp Tarot Cards as a weapon. Since then she has used little else, except when she throws a childish fit, at which she reverts back to banging on people with pots and pans.
During the one month training with Fang Fang, she self-taught herself Summoning Techniques and became far better at it than Fang Fang. However if she over uses the techniques, she lose stamina very quickly since it requires a lot of youkai energy.
Summons:
- Enenmushi (Flame King of Snails): A summon that Yukari used to counter Miu Sai-Lung's "Guns and Roses".
- Bees: Yukari summoned a swarm of bees, alongside butterflies and a centipede, in her duel against Mui Sai-Lung.
- Butterflies: Yukari summoned butterflies, bees, and a centipede in her duel against Mui Sai-Lung.
- Centipede: Yukari summoned a centipede, butterflies, and a swarm of bees in her duel against Mai Sai-Lung.
- Hagene Zatoumushi (Steel Daddy Longlegs): A defensive summon that Yukari summoned to protect Fong-Fong Huang.
Creations
She has a knack for creating things for her goals, she once created an urn which enabled Outer Moka to express her true feelings, but it ended in where she and Fang-Fang Huang ended up switching bodies with each other. Though in the end she was able to rebuild the machine and they were able to switch back.
Quotes
- "I am a genius after all. I don't need to make friends of lower intelligence." '
- "I'm famous for my flatchestedness."
- (To Tsukune):"Wait for me."
- "Desu."
- "I can finally be with Moka-san and Tsukune in one bed and between, beside, on top....hee-hee..."
- (To Fang-Fang): "I haven't... been able to say anything up until now... At first, I thought we could teach each other techniques, so for that, I secretly studied summoning arts. But then I mastered it in no time. Becuase I'm a genius."
Trivia
- In the manga, Yukari's wand has a Star of David in it. However, in the anime it was changed into a pentagram.
- She is one of the only girls that have kissed Tsukune, the other being Kurumu (Although Yukari only kissed Tsukune in the anime, which hardly followed the manga, and thus Yukari's kiss is non canon).
