Yumi is the second member of the rock band Puffy and the main protagonist of the series. She is a guitarist and a vocalist.
History
She is supposedly 15-19 in the animated series but in actuality, she is currently 42.
Appearance
She dresses in a heavy metal/grunge/goth style with studded necklaces and ankle bracelets, a light purple T-shirt with a (mostly expressive) skull on it, a black miniskirt, purple bike shorts, and black and purple army boots.
When she is competing with villains, Yumi magically transforms her outfit into a battle uniform, which she wears a dark purple tanktop with a black horizontal stripe in the middle, white pantyhose and black Mary Jane shoes.
For night time, Yumi wears a black or a white sleeved nightgown with a skull in the middle.
For swimwear, Yumi first wears camouflage bikini in the episode "Robo-Pop," but in "Surf's Up" and til the rest of the series Yumi now wears a purple string bikini with half a skull on the bikini top and the other half on the bikini bottom.
For formal wear in "Movie Madness", Yumi wears a black glittery glamorous dress with the same studded choker from her main outfit and wears black opera gloves.
For ninja wear, Yumi wears a black sleeveless ninja outfit and wears a black balaclava.
As a magician assistant, she wore a pink hairband, a gold necklace, a pink tube top, a pink miniskirt and gold pumps.
In "Secret Origin" and the flashback of "Super Zero", as a kid, she wore a black long sleeve shirt, a white flounced skirt, white socks and black Mary Janes shoes.
In the pilot, she had her hair being more purplish-toned and lighter, a dark magenta shirt with the skull having a green outline, slightly darker skin, freckles, a gray-cyan glove (on her right hand), spiked bracelet (on her left hand) and spiked collar, light bluish-purple socks and boots with shades of purple. She also had square-framed sunglasses on her hair in some shots.
Personality
Being younger, Yumi is also more impetuous than Ami and rushes headlong into a decision before thinking. However, Yumi has a mature side, too, and sometimes reasons with Ami's childish obsessions.
Yumi loves things like ninjas, monster trucks, car crushers and anything else rough and tough. In the episode "Opera Yumi", it is shown that she was a opera singer since birth, but rebelled to pursue her interest in rock music. She also commonly disrespects Kaz.
In some episodes, she can be seen biting her nails intentionally or not. Yumi can also drive the tour bus, understand animals, eat a lot of food if she's very bored and make a huge mess like Kaz and Ami. Yumi is also a fighter and at times, and a ninja due to her training in Ninjcompoop.
In the pilot, she was depicted as the calm type instead.
Trivia
- Despite being a tomboy, she also doesn't mind some feminine things.
- The skull on Yumi's T-shirt mostly has the same facial expressions as she does, or sometimes has a mind of its own. The only time it didn't match her expressions was in the segment "Taffy Trouble".
- Despite acting like the oldest, the real Yumi Yoshimura is the youngest of the two.
- She has a similar-sounding voice to Mandy (from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy).
- In "Ami Ami", her voice when she thinks that she is Ami sounds similar to Lizzie from Codename: Kids Next Door.
