- "The tank can be your boyfriend!"
- ―Yūki trying to comfort Saori Takebe
Yūki Utsugi (宇津木 優季, Utsugi Yūki) is the 75mm loader, radio operator and navigator of the Rabbit Team and one of the supporting protagonists of Girls und Panzer.
Profile[]
Yūki is a first year student from Ōarai Girls Academy. She's a member of the Rabbit Team and serves as the radio operator as well as 75mm loader of the M3 Lee.
Appearance[]
Yūki is a rather short girl with short black hair and Khaki eyes. She is seen to wear standart Oarai school or Snesha-do uniform.
Personality[]
Yūki is known for her patient personality, but she is also occasionally shown to be rather dull, such as when she suggests to put a bandage on the M3's broken gun during the match against Pravda Girls High School. Further examples for this are that during OVA 2 (Survival war!), she randomly plays around with two tent herrings along with Hana Isuzu, and during the Anzio OVA, when the Rabbit Team's tank is chased by two Semovente da 75/18, she oddly points out that the situation "technically is even" due to the M3 having two guns, much to Azusa Sawa's disapproval. All in all, Yūki same as another members of Rabbit team has a quite perky nature.
Background[]
Yūki decides to join Sensha-dō along with her teammates after watching the presentation and invitation held by the Student Council. In the first episode, during lunch the day after the presentation on Sensha-dō, Yūki excitedly talks to her classmates (and later teammates) about how her boyfriend will see her when she picks up tankery. The Rabbit Team is up to a rough start, however, and Yūki (together with Ayumi Yamagou) is the first to abandon their tank in fear during the exhibition match against St. Gloriana Girls' College after getting under heavy fire. However, while not making any significant impacts during the matches against Saunders University High School and Pravda Girls High School, Yūki and her team become more mature about Sensha-dō and eventually play a key role during the finals against Kuromorimine Girls Academy, where they manage to take out both the Jagdtiger and Elefant tank destroyers.
After the first match, unfortunately, Yūki tells Saori Takebe that her boyfriend has dumped her and she also hopes to get relationship advice from her.
Etymology[]
- The name Yūki means "excellence, superiority, gentleness" (優) (yū) and "season" (季) (ki).
- Yūki's surname Utsugi means "eaves, roof, house, heaven" (宇) (u), "haven, port, harbor, ferry" (津) (tsu) and "tree, wood" (木) (ki/gi).
Trivia[]
- Yūki's favorite flower is lily-of-the-valley, and her favorite tank is the American M24 Chaffee light tank.
- Yūki's birthday is April 27th. On this day in 1945, WWII dictator Benito Mussolini was arrested in Dongo, Italy, by Communist partisans while attempting to escape the Allies.
- Yūki is named after forward Yūki Ōgimi and defensive midfielder Rumi Utsugi, from Japan's 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup squad.
- Before choosing Sensha-do, Yūki had selected incense ceremony as her extra-curricular activity.

- Kanon Sasagawa, a match official from Japan's Sensha-do Federation.
