Yuko

Yuko (ユウコ) is high school student, and member of the Devil Hunter Club, alongside Asa Mitaka, and Hirofumi Yoshida. She has a contract with the Justice Devil.

Appearance
Yuko is a high school girl of average height. She has short, light-colored hair and wears dark-colored glasses.

She wears the same school uniform as the rest of the girls in her class. The uniform consists of a long-sleeved button up shirt worn beneath a pinafore style dress with a pleated skirt that extends below the knee, a bow at the collar, a wide belt at the waist, and white, knee-high socks. She also wears sneakers.

Personality
On the surface level, Yuko seems to be kind, warmhearted and sociable. She quickly becomes friends with Asa Mitaka after partnering with her in the Devil Hunter club, noticing her distress at being shunned by classmates from Bucky's death. Realizing that Asa would have to walk home without shoes, she ran to Asa and offered her own shoes. At her home, Yuko jovially but generously allowed Asa to have her shoes permanently, and was surprised as well as disappointed when Asa gave her shoes back. Wanting to become a Devil Hunter due to a devil killing her parents, Yuko is eager for Asa to also join so they can become partners.

Later, it is revealed that Yuko is actually far more psychopathic, cold-blooded and enigmatic than Asa previously thought. Claiming to be a killer, Yuko told Asa that she murdered her neighbor and buried him in her backyard. She seems to have the mentality of a school shooter, telling Asa to "not go to school" as she plans to enact revenge on behalf of Asa to all her bullies. Because of this, Yuko seems to genuinely value her friendship with Asa, to the point that she will go to harrowing heights to protect it. This is especially apparent after she made a deal with the Justice Devil, where she becomes inquisitive and able to read minds, but still seemingly fiercely protective of Asa so that they can stay best friends.

Etymology
Like most characters, Yuko's name is written in katakana instead of kanji. However, the name Yuko can have many meanings depending on the kanji it is written with. One writing, 夕子, means "evening child", which fits with Asa and Yoru's names meaning "morning" and "night".
