Yuki Yoshida (Romaji name: 吉田由紀 Yoshida Yuki) is a minor character in The Amazing World of Gumball. She is Masami's mother, Mr. Yoshida's wife, and Nicole's old friend/nemesis.
Appearance[]
Yuki is a tall, slim humanoid white cloud woman with long "hair." She is usually seen wearing a black business suit, along with black high heels, yellow earrings, purple eyeshadow, and red lipstick. In her encounter against Nicole, her hair was braided and she wore a red skin-tight bodysuit.
In her youth, Yuki had curly hair with a bow attached to it. She also wore a white gi with a black belt, black pants, and a black headband. She also had physical eyes and pupils as a child, unlike her daughter.
Personality[]
In her childhood, Yuki was quite a friendly person and a good friend of Nicole, with whom she shared a close relationship. As the two studied martial arts together, they became prodigies and entered competitions. However, Yuki was forced to fight Nicole in a final match. The two battled and Yuki lost. Greatly offended and seeking retaliation, Yuki left the United States and returned to Japan to receive harsh but fruitful training in hopes of getting even, which in turn made her fearsome and ambitious. She wanted to get her revenge on Nicole by any means necessary, even if it meant destroying her life to do so. Despite this aggressive attitude, she cares deeply for her daughter, Masami.
When Yuki left Japan and reverted to the United States, she defied Nicole to a duel. Surprisingly, Nicole refused to fight her. This forced Yuki to do whatever it took to make Nicole angry and accept her challenge. She flirted with Richard, taunted Nicole at work, stole her workplace, and ruined the brakes of her car (among other things), all just to make Nicole's life a living nightmare. Nicole finally exploded and decided to fight Yuki when she threatened to take away her job and her house. Nicole and Yuki met at the school gym and engaged in an anime-style brawl. During the fight, Yuki's energy attacks caused the roof to collapse on their children, trapping them underneath. Despite rejecting Nicole's offer of reconciliation at first, the two then decided to put their differences aside and save their children. After the collapse, Yuki softens up and apologizes to Nicole for being jealous to her. The two reconcile and re-establish their friendship.
Abilities[]
Similar to Nicole, Yuki is a master martial artist. During her encounter against Nicole in "The Fury," it has been revealed that she can create powerful energy blasts, release energy waves, and jump great distances. Unlike Nicole, however, she cannot generate energy shields.
