Yuka is a young woman who serves as the mother figure of those living in the Maple House in Kamakura. She is the cousin of Kouta and his sister Kanae, and the niece (either by marriage or blood) of their father. During her childhood, she had strong romantic feelings for Kouta, and those feelings have remained consistently high throughout the series.
Yuka is chronologically first shown with Kouta during flashbacks from when they were just children, during a summer when his family stayed in Kamakura with Yuka and her mother. Yuka's mother is never depicted in the anime, while the fate of Yuka's father is not once brought up. It is also not known if that summer marked the first time the two cousins met, or exactly how long Kouta and his family stayed. Further, neither the exact degree of relationship (first or second cousin, etc.) nor through which of their parents they were connected, is ever actually made clear or even really brought up. Dialogue evidence from the untranslated original manga places Kouta's father as being the older brother of Yuka's mother, but this is never directly confirmed.
Though Yuka attempted to be kind to the young girl, she was frequently the target of jealousy by Kouta's little sister Kanae. Yuka found herself driven to distraction by the thought that Kouta was leaving Kamakura for a year till the next summer, and made him promise not to forget her. They frequented the summer-time game vendors, wherein Yuka wanted to best Kouta to impress him, though he seemed to like her already, teasing her in a friendly way to get better. Unknown to any member of their family, as summer was ending, Kouta climbed a nearby mountain and met a strange young girl with horns, a young Lucy, whose real name he somehow never learned, and their friendship led to the girl developing feelings for him.
Elfen Lied: Monochrome Yuka
While at the festival, Yuka was distraught that her cousin would be leaving for an entire year once the festival ended. Kouta comforted her, and both of them were unaware that Lucy caught sight of the display and the revelation of Yuka's gender. Since Kouta had previously said his cousin was male, this led Lucy to believe he had betrayed her and was lying to her all along. The cousins, not seeing her, went about the festival grounds as normal until Kouta's panicked father found them. A bomb had supposedly gone off and led to the death of many festival-goers and after a frantic search for Kanae, who had witnessed the bomb (Lucy using her powers to kill other people). The family left for the train station
Murders she subsequently committed while at the Festival were also taken as work of the bomber and caused Kouta's father to leave Kamakura with his family for their home in Hokkaido that very night. Yuka and her mother saw them off, with Yuka waving goodbye for every last second she could see the train. Shortly after, an enraged Lucy killed Kouta's family, and then threatened to kill Yuka as well. A heart-sick Kouta grabbed at her, the tone of which made Lucy realize too late Kouta had never meant to hurt her. The anime depicts Yuka learning of both the method of the killings and Kouta's shattered state of mind from relatives speaking of it at the funeral. A year in a hospital (it's unknown what type of hospital) helped Kouta to become functional again, but he had suppressed much of his childhood memories to escape the trauma of witnessing the murders, and this included his memories of Yuka and what they had meant to each other. Though they did not see each other again for the rest of their childhood, Yuka never surrendered the belief that Kouta would come back to her, as he promised. In high school, Yuka became Sempai (senior student mentor) to Nozomi, a nervous younger student.
As they both approached college-age, Yuka learned that Kouta had applied to a university near Kamakura, one known for taking students with lower grades. Effectively sacrificing part of her future to be near him, Yuka entered the same school and awaited his arrival that fall, when the two would finally be reunited. But however Yuka believed this might go, it is safe to say what did happen shattered all her expectations. For Lucy was about to re-enter their lives.
Elfen Lied (tv Mini Series 2004)
Yuka met Kouta as he arrived back at Gokurakuji Train Station for the first time in eight years. Whether she knew before this of Kouta's traumatic amnesia, his total lack of memories concerning Yuka terribly upset her. Trying to jog those memories, she took him to Yuigahama Beach, where they and Kanae had played as children and just near the hilltop where they reunited. Staggering out from the surf, naked and with a head wound was the horned girl Lucy, now also suffering from amnesia. Kouta of course no longer remembered her, and Yuka had never known her. In the intervening eight years, she had been captured by a research facility and renamed Lucy by the staff, though Kouta, Yuka and those they would come to live with rarely if ever used or even knew of that name. Escaping amidst a bloody slaughter, Lucy was wounded while leaving the island facility, taking a head injury from a sniper's rifle that not only gave her amnesia but left her in a childlike state. Concerned about the girl's well-being, dignity, and privacy, the cousins at Yuka's suggestion took her to Maple House, a former inn and restaurant now being leased to Kouta from Yuka's mother on a maintenance agreement, thought that overwhelmed Kouta at first. But for both of them, the real challenges lay in re-starting their relationship and dealing with Lucy, who they named 'Nyu' after the only sound she seemed able to make in her childlike state.
From the start, Nyu's lack of restraint on all fronts would prove a handful for the pair, leading to many an awkward, tense moment between them. When Kouta took ill after an argument with Yuka and some antics from Nyu (including an ill-fated attempt to change her clothes), Yuka regained her resolve to maintain the relationship, despite what she saw as Kouta's perversion and seeming insensitivity. Her world was rocked, though, when Kouta's recollection of his family's death differed radically from what Yuka knew to have happened. Whatever she had or had not known of it before, Yuka now firmly realized that Kouta did not remember her because he could, in fact, remember nothing of his childhood past a certain point. Yuka also realized that Kouta's false memories were a defense mechanism against his past trauma. Moving in with Kouta and their charge, Yuka also began to keep an eye on the unpredictable but loving Nyu. Originally, when the confused girl ran off after being scolded by Kouta, it was Yuka who decided to retrieve her. This effort would lead to a brief and painful encounter with the former agent Bando, who was searching for Nyu's other-self. It would also result in a much longer association with the girl Mayu and her small dog Wanta, who became first the concern of the cousins and then their responsibility as they took her in and gave her a home. Both Kouta and Yuka were thrown off by how readily Mayu's mother agreed to let her relocate. If either suspected the grim secrets of Mayu's past, they kept to their agreement with her and asked no more questions about it. Mayu in effect became their daughter, in all ways but a formal adoption. Though rarely seen, Yuka's mother was alive throughout the series, and it seems likely that she was asked to give her approval for each new resident.
With no one home to watch over the rambunctious Nyu, the cousins started bringing her with them to college classes, hoping she would keep quiet and not draw attention to herself. This hope proved impossible in the worst ways.
List Of Elfen Lied Characters
Confused when separated from the cousins for even the briefest of times, Nyu found herself bumping into the wounded Bando, an encounter more comical than dangerous, as well as some curious students. Recovered by the pair in time to avoid those mishaps, a later attempt to pull this off went wrong. Kouta and Yuka were both attending a science class where the instructor was none other than Professor Kakuzawa, who knew full well who and what Nyu was. When he tricked the cousins into believing Nyu was his relative, first Kouta and then Yuka broke down in tears, their bond to Nyu already a strong one, and the choice to leave her not sitting well with either. Upon questioning from Mayu, Yuka recalled that the Professor (who while attempting to rape Nyu revealed it was he who had helped Lucy escape those months ago) had a less than sterling reputation. Kouta, who now felt that they had accepted his story too readily, went back to the University to find Nyu and perhaps bring her
