Futaba Yozakura

Overview

Futaba Yozakura is a main character from Mission: Yozakura Family. As the eldest daughter of the Yozakura family and a Gold-rank spy, she serves as the practical head of the household due to the eccentric behavior of her older brother, Kyoichiro. Despite being an adult, her physical appearance has remained unchanged since childhood, giving her an extremely small frame, though she is deeply respected and depended upon by her younger siblings.

Appearance

She is characterized by a childish, extremely small stature and youthful face, maintaining a silver twin-drill hairstyle and wearing gothic lolita attire. Her hair later changes to straight twintails before returning to its original style during a wedding ceremony. Her physical features are an instance of atavism inherited from the second head of the family, Ninomae Gozen.

Personality

She speaks with an archaic, mature tone and exhibits a detached, wise outlook on life. While stern toward Taiyo Asano regarding the reality of strength, her tough demeanor stems from deep care and a underlying fear of loss. She is a heavy eater, a notoriously chaotic drunk, and harbors an intense dread of ghosts and supernatural curses that cannot be handled through physical martial arts.

Abilities

She is a master of Aikido and Yozakura-style Jujutsu known as Shidare Kumite. Despite her lightweight body making her prone to knockback, she possesses immense physical force, capable of swinging heavy barbells or throwing massive targets and enemies. Her Blooming ability, Embrace, utilizes heightened dynamic visual acuity and precise control to absorb and nullify all incoming attacks.

Background

Born as the eldest daughter of the Yozakura family, she has long led her siblings through her high combat skills and maternal leadership. The loss of her mother during her youth left her with a deep-seated fear of losing those close to her. Prior to a major conflict five years later, she embarked on a mission to tour hidden hot springs alongside her childhood friend Shura.

Relationships

She balances the antics of her older brother Kyoichiro Yozakura while looking after Mutsumi Yozakura and the rest of her siblings. She takes in her brother-in-law Taiyo Asano, providing him with rigorous training. She also shares close, trust-based combat synergies with family members like Shinzo Yozakura and allies like Rin.

Trivia

Her hobbies include sewing and calligraphy, and she enjoys green tea and ohagi. She dislikes staying up all night as well as reading maps. Notably, her given name contains the character for blade, setting her apart from her siblings whose names frequently contain kanji with negative connotations.
