Yukina Kurihara

Kurihara Yukina (栗原 雪菜) is a classmate and close friend of Yui.

Personality
Yukina is shown to be a very loyal friend to Yui, whom she views as a sisterly figure. She can also be rather meddlesome and presumptuous, becoming upset after learning that Yui has never been on a date and urging her friend to do so. Yukina is also quite perverted, having no qualms about making sexual comments.

Appearance
Yukina has chin-length, orange hair and brown eyes. She is usually seen in her school uniform. In the novels, Kurihara is described as being rather tall and could easily be mistaken for a college student.

Friends

 * Kiriyama Yui: A friend and classmate of Yukina's. The two typically spend their lunch break eating and chatting together. Yukina became upset with Yui for not having the determination to go on a date. She decides to help plan a date for Yui and subsequently spies on said date. Yui views Yukina as a sisterly figure, occasionally referring to herself as Onee-san, "big sister." This role switches in Asu Random when Kurihara is the one who needs Yui's help.
 * Nagase Iori: A friend and classmate of Yukina's. The two decided to plan (and spy on) a triple date in Step Time to help their friends with their relationships. Iori also frequently stops Yukina from saying perverted things.
 * Nakayama Mariko: A friend and classmate of Yukina's. She helped Mariko on her first date and, as with Yui, was upset that Mariko had never been a date before.
 * Yaegashi Taichi: A classmate and friend of Yukina's. Like the other girls, Yukina enjoys ganging up on Taichi and teasing him during breaks, especially about Inaba. Yukina has a skewed perception of Taichi and mistakenly assumes he is sexually experienced just because he is close with Inaba.
 * Oosawa Misaki: Yukina's best friend and Track and Field teammate. The two are shown to be good friends and they helped each during the Personality Exchange phenomenon. After Misaki lost her memories about the club and the phenomenon, Yukina became depressed when her attempts to reconnect with Misaki end in failure.

Trivia

 * It is implied in Step Time that Yukina is an experienced dater.
 * Kurihara's hair is blonde in the novel and PSP game, but orange in the anime version.
