OVA
Description
Yuzu Midorikawa attends Shinjuku Takadanobaba Girls School as a high school student. She possesses olive-green, shoulder-length hair styled with curls at the sides, cyan eyes, and stands 1.57 meters tall with measurements of 88-58-87. She embraces the Japanese Gyaru subculture, reflected in her clothing, hairstyle, and frequent use of Western-derived teenage slang. Her everyday outfit features a modified school uniform: a white short-sleeved top with stripes, secured by a single strap and a green tie with a heart buckle, revealing deep cleavage and her midriff. She pairs this with a blue mini skirt, baggy socks, black shoes, and accessories including a necklace, purple cloth bangle, ear piercings, rings, and painted nails. Her racing attire adopts a Western beach style: a lime green crop top exposing shoulders and cleavage, small denim shorts tied with string and heart hoops, sandals with heart designs, and painted toenails matching her fingernails; during anime races, she adds pink flowers above her sunglasses.
Yuzu enjoys shopping, cute things, fame, fortune, and attention but also demonstrates genuine care for others, shown through her volunteer work at an old people's home, an activity she greatly enjoys. She forms the MKHU team with her best friend and fellow Gyaru, Manatsu Shiraishi. Initially taking up jet racing out of boredom to seek fame and fortune, their participation in the Kandagawa Cup brings conflict with teams like the Sea Serpents, who object to their superficial motivations. Competing together shifts their perspective, leading them to realize they derive greater satisfaction from racing to bring joy to others, particularly the elderly at their volunteer site, than from attention or money. This evolution resolves their conflict with the Sea Serpents, who acknowledge their changed outlook. MKHU wins the Kandagawa Cup, committing to continue racing to spread happiness.
In various video game team stories, Yuzu frequently teases other teams about their close relationships or attempts to mediate conflicts to prevent fallout. For instance, in the Unkai Surfers' storyline, she and Shiraishi mention a resident at the nursing home is a manga artist admired by the Surfers, offering to arrange a meeting if the Surfers defeat them in a race. Her interactions include softly whispering in Manatsu Shiraishi's ear, cooperating with her to tickle Misa Aoi, being fed canned oranges by Emily Orange, directing Manatsu to Rin Namiki's weak spot in an onsen, and revealing to Manatsu that "there are many ways girls can have fun together" while partially undressed. She also recognizes and feels slightly shy witnessing the deepening bond between Rin and Misa. In the OVA, she participates in creating promotional videos for jet racing, collaborating with other teams to film activities like washing a jet ski (Orcano), carrying a portable shrine, and improvising a play; her final edited video emphasizes fun and fanservice over technical aspects.
Her surname Midorikawa combines "green" (緑) and "river, stream" (川). Her given name Yuzu, typically written in hiragana (ゆず), carries potential meanings related to citrus fruits or positive traits like friendship, excellence, or longevity when written with various kanji.
