Yuki (雪, ゆき, "Snow") is one of the village chief's daughters.

History

When her father never returned from Hijiri island, her brother Shintarō attempted to rescue him with the aid of Inuyasha's group. Yuki and her sisters were worried for Shintarō's safety, and she tried to convince him that he was too young for this task. Shintarō was the only one who could embark on such a task as only them males of his family were permitted to act in such duties. Shintarō, being the only brother of three older sisters, prompted Miroku to directly offer to help Hana and her sisters "bear sons", which instantly incurred the wrath of Sango.

Shintarō returned home and presented to his sisters the bones of their father, to which the were quite sad to see. Miroku offered to give their father a proper burial. As Inuyasha's group said their goodbyes to Shintarō, Miroku proclaimed to his sisters that he would console them if they were ever in need (which caused Sango to grab him by his ear as they left).

Yuki and her siblings witnessed the destruction of Mount Hakurei as a result of Naraku making it a part of his new body. They later provided food for the people in their village after the yōkai that Naraku kept inside Mount Hakurei had terrorized the entire region. They were visited by Inuyasha's group before they continued their pursuit of Naraku.
