Etymology
- The name Yuki is written in hiragana (ゆき), which has no special meaning. However, when written in kanji (幸, 雪, 由貴 or 由紀), it could possibly mean:
- 幸 - "happiness, good luck".
- 雪 - "snow".
- 由貴 - "reason, case, cause" (由) (yu) and "valuable" (貴) (ki).
- 由紀 - "reason, case, cause" (由) (yu) and "chronicle" (紀) (ki).
- Yuki's surname Funahara means "boat, ship, vessel" (船) (funa) and "field, plain" (原) (hara).
Trivia
- She wants to be a professional athlete, but the Sibyl System deems her unqualified and gives her the job of a therapist-trainer in a gym instead.[2]
- She resembles Haru Miura from Katekyo Hitman REBORN! as they share the same character designer.
