Yukiho Hagiwara, an idol from 765 Production, appears in the spin-off series *PUCHIM@S 2*. She retains her core traits of extreme shyness and lack of self-confidence from the main *THE iDOLM@STER* series. When overwhelmed or distressed, she employs her primary coping mechanism: pulling out a shovel from nowhere, digging a hole, and burying herself. Yukiho debuted in *PUCHIM@S* Episode 30, "Oh, Suddenly I'm in Egypt," seen carrying bags alongside Iori Minase and Yayoi Takatsuki. In this episode, the Producer warns her not to die. Her corresponding Puchidol, Yukipo, was introduced earlier in the series before Yukiho's appearance.

Yukipo, adopted by Yukiho, mirrors her traits and behaviors. Yukipo also spontaneously produces a shovel, digs holes, and buries herself when distressed. Additionally, Yukipo exhibits gymnastic skills and possesses a calming presence capable of comforting others. During the first season of *PUCHIM@S*, Yukipo remained non-verbal, communicating primarily through sighs, until gaining speech in the second season. Yukipo grows a tanooki tail during winter months. In *PUCHIM@S* Episode 2, "Everyday Scenes," Yukipo engages in her hole-digging behavior, leading Ritsuko Akizuki to scold Mami Futami after Yukipo is retrieved.

Yukiho's interactions within the series consistently reflect her difficulties handling stressful situations and interactions. Her relationship with Yukipo further illustrates her timid nature through their shared mannerisms and coping strategies.
