Yukina Minato is the vocalist and leader of the band Roselia. Her powerful singing voice commands admiration from bandmates and audiences alike. Characterized by strong will, stubbornness, and intense focus on her goals, this single-minded dedication sometimes causes her to overlook surrounding circumstances. She approaches musical practice with a serious, perfectionist attitude, demanding high standards from both herself and others. Typically stoic in demeanor, public smiles are rare. Emotionally reserved, she struggles to express feelings openly and maintains a fiercely driven approach to achieving her ambitions. Her father, a former professional singer, inspired her pursuit of singing. A primary motivation is reaching the pinnacle of vocal performance to impress him and reignite his career. Later, her goals shift towards elevating Roselia as a collective to the highest echelons of musical achievement, specifically targeting a performance at the prestigious global music festival, "Future World Fes," where her father once performed. This ambition is achieved within Roselia's journey. Yukina's character develops notably. Initially dismissive of non-musical activities and prone to blunt criticism of perceived underperformance, she gradually softens. She begins appreciating her bandmates more openly and engages in pursuits like playing the online game Neo Fantasy Online or exploring theater production. Though initially reluctant to admit personal weaknesses, she acknowledges limitations outside singing and expresses a desire to learn skills like cooking and baking. Her interactions evolve to show greater appreciation for Roselia's collaborative efforts. Physically, Yukina possesses long silver hair adorned with a black butterfly hairpin and sharp gold eyes. She stands 155 cm tall. Her fashion sense leans toward elegant, muted tones; her default outfit is a white frilled shirt, black pencil skirt, and purple high heels, complemented by a black bracelet with a rose motif. Seasonal variations include a layered winter ensemble with a cardigan and gray ribbon, and a summer outfit featuring a sleeveless striped shirt. Notable personality quirks include an intense, secret fondness for cats, which she often denies while blushing when questioned. She dislikes bitter foods like bitter melon and adds significant sugar to coffee to counteract bitterness. She refers to bandmates and close associates by their first names but uses last names with honorifics for others. She instantly recognizes rock music by its intro due to deep appreciation for the genre. Her name carries meaning: "Minato" translates to "to assemble together," while "Yukina" combines characters for "friend," "rare/strive for," and "what." Her relationships include a long-standing childhood friendship with next-door neighbor Imai Lisa. She views Mitake Ran as a rival. She shares her height with characters including Rokka and Himari. Despite initially rejecting talent agencies before forming Roselia, favoring a "lone-wolf" approach to music, her journey emphasizes growth towards valuing unity and shared success within the band.
