After her father dissappeared when she was young, Yuri became heavily dependent on Ryo. This dependency helped motivate Ryo to become a better fighter, but was to her detriment when she was kidnapped by Mr. Big. After being saved by Ryo and Robert, she was able to convince her father Takuma to train her, which he reluctantantly agreed to as he began to teach her the basics before she was invited to the King of Fighters tournament.

==Strengths And Weaknesses==
Yuri is by no means the strongest character in the game, but she does have some tools that help her win some matchups. A lot of times, though, the odds are not in her favor.
Strengths: Most of Yuri's special moves still work with no meter, even though they are in a weaker form. Yuri's normals have good range, like her sweep, and her heavy kick (butt slam attack) can go over over low attacks. HyakuRetsu Binta is quick and is a great way to punish someone trying to dash too much or jump out after certain attacks.
Weaknesses: The one special move that doesn't work without meter is HyakuRetsu Binta, her best special attack. Yuri's anti-airs do very little damage, and her moves that knock down have very little range (except from sweep). Her butt slam has a long recovery if blocked and can get easily punished. Against character with strong, quick throws, against Micky with an untechable throw, not having meter can mean a death sentence, or at the very lease, a pretty bad time.

Special Moves
Ko'ou Ken - qcf + A (236 + A) [20% spirit meter]

With red spirit meter, the blast will not leave past her palms

A series of 4 quick attacks
This move will not change based on spirit meter but will drain it nonetheless

This move has priority over many other moves and pre-jump frames
