Julie Hinikawa is the main antagonist in Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi. She was the keytarist in the Puffy AmiYumi band before her departure. She came back in the episode Hi Hi Puffy Julie AmiYumi. She played the red keytar and planned to get rid of Ami and Yumi.

Appearance[]

Julie has dark green eyes and lime green hair that she ties into a ponytail. She wears a white midriff shirt with a red "no" symbol on it, a black leather jacket, blue jeans with dark pink pockets and black boots.

Description[]

Julie is a one-shot character from the show.

Julie was part of the band with Ami and Yumi a long time ago. As the tours went on, people have grown to like Ami and Yumi much more than her. Her name wasn't even included in the band's name.

Since then, Julie had carefully planned to sabotage Ami and Yumi's roaring success. She forgets Ami's name and calls her Arthur and she torments Ami in various ways. She most of the time plays the victim card so nobody would think she's doing it on purpose. She fails to destroy Ami and Yumi’s careers and the audience boos at her when she said that she was the real star. She freaks out, saying that that's not love but mean. Julie talks to her keyboard calling it Keyboard Guitar and she dresses it up in a hat and glasses. Julie was insane to the point that Kaz decided to put her in a straight jacket. She was last seen talking to her keyboard guitar swearing revenge.

Julie is deceptively optimistic and sweet but truly calculating and diabolical, but the truth is, she only wants to be loved like Ami and Yumi, though it is never explained how the audience did not notice her that much. She got along well with Yumi, but was disliked by Ami because of how Julie carelessly mistreated her and how she keeps forgetting Ami's name, even going as far as mispronouncing it as "Arthur".

Special abilities[]

Julie is able to drive the tour bus like Ami and Yumi. She can even lift them and all of their instruments with only one finger. Julie is also known to be a tactical genius. She was planning to flatten both Ami and Yumi like a pancake with the amp she placed on her "Puffy JulieYumi" sign. She knew Ami would come to Yumi's aid.

Trivia[]

  • It is unknown if she was based on any musician that worked on the real-life Puffy AmiYumi band.
  • Julie is the only Puffy member that wears trousers or jeans.
  • If Julie was part of the band long ago, this could mean that she was as nice to Ami as she was to Yumi before she plotted her revenge.
    • It's also possible that the band was called Puffy JulieYumi before Ami came in and joined the band, taking the place of Julie, or that Ami eventually became more popular than Julie, this would also explain Julie and Ami’s dislike for each other.
  • Some fans believe Julie's keyboard guitar has something to do with her insanity and desire revenge.
  • Julie is voiced by Lara Jill Miller, who also voiced Lambie from Doc McStuffins, Henry from Henry Hugglemonster, Juniper from The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, Widget from Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, Lisa Loud from The Loud House, Kari from Digimon, and Maria from Harvey Girls Forever.
  • She bears similarities to Magnus Hammersmith from Metalocalypse, both whom were former members the shows' main bands planning revenge on their respective bands after leaving them. Only difference is that Magnus's departure was settled by the band in an unanimous vote, while Julie only left the band by choice before Ami could have the chance to kick her out.
  • Even though she appeared as a one-shot villain in Season 3, many fans wanted her to be reformed and be a helping character If Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi gets renewed for a fourth season.
