“	You are too kind, milady. Though in truth, I still have much to learn. That said, I am here to help in any way I can, Lord/Lady Corrin.	”	— Yukimura

Biography

According to Yukimura's supports with the male Corrin, he reveals that he was once disciple to both his father and the late King Sumeragi. Admitting that he was once reckless in the strategies that he crafted in his youth, Yukimura was once inclined to achieve victory at all costs, even if a tremendous number of lives were lost in the process. Following a lecture by Sumeragi himself and learning of the late king's valiant sacrifice of his life in exchange for Corrin's, Yukimura began to reform the way he formulates strategies, seeking to achieve victory with minimal loss of lives on both sides.

Quotes

My Castle quotes

“	The final tally will favor me if I keep this up...	”	— Yukimura, gaining a surge at My Castle.

“	Preparation is key to victory. The enemy could strike at any time.	”	— Yukimura, gaining weapon experience at an event tile or My Castle.

“	Hm? What do we have here?	”	— Yukimura, finding at item at an event tile or My Castle.

“	As an aide to the royal family, I try to keep my appearance up to date.	”	— Yukimura asking for an accessory.

“	I am genuinely moved that you would remember my birthday, Lord/Lady Corrin.	”	— Yukimura receiving an accessory he likes on his birthday.

Battle quotes

“	This battle is truly lamentable. It would have broken Lady Mikoto's heart to watch these events unfold...	”	— Yukimura, as an enemy in Conquest Chapter 6

“	Yukimura: So, here we are. You have come back to us, but with a blade in hand. I suppose it's safe to surmise you have no intention of returning to Hoshido? Corrin: You are correct. Nohr is my home. It's where I belong. Yukimura: How very upsetting. If Lady Mikoto were to hear this, it would break her heart. Then again, she may have smiled and said, "It is his/her path to choose." Corrin: Yukimura... Yukimura: But such talk is pointless, for our dear queen has left this realm. As for myself, I am above all a tactician for the honorable Hoshidan army. As such, I am obligated to prevent you from returning to Nohr!	”	— Yukimura, fighting Corrin in Conquest Chapter 6

“	My brain against your brawn...Let us see who comes out on top!	”	— Yukimura, as the boss of Conquest Chapter 22

“	Yukimura: I will defend this fort and Hoshido, until death if I must. Though seeing us fight would have destroyed Queen Mikoto, it must be so. Corrin: This is not how I would have wanted this to end either, Yukimura. But here we are....so brace yourself!	”	— Yukimura, fighting Corrin in Conquest Chapter 22

“	Lady Mikoto... I hope you understand what I must do, wherever you are... I will deal with those who would harm Hoshido...	”	— Yukimura, as the boss of Revelation Chapter 8.

DLC quotes

“	You know, rumors sometimes crop up of ghosts in the Hoshidan castle. I hope they're true. I'd welcome seeing Lady Mikoto or Lord Sumeragi again.	”	— Yukimura, in Boo Camp

“	Hmm...so you waited until we were dead tired before you decided to strike. I have to admit---it's a good plan! But we have something called caffeine.	”	— Yukimura, in Ghostly Gold

“	A contest? For weapons? This IS a museum, correct? And here I was hoping for a nice scholarly diversion for once...	”	— Yukimura, in Museum Melee

“	It's interesting to see so little variation in these mountain thieves. Could they all be simulacra? That's one explanation which leaps to mind... But no, even a skilled mechanist couldn't create such perfect copies. Too bad, really. I'd feel better about beating you if you were automatons.	”	— Yukimura, in Anna on the Run

Defeat quotes

“	Lady...Mikoto...	”	— Yukimura's defeat voice clip.

“	It's important to know when to retreat in battle... right now being a fine example.	”	— Yukimura's defeat quote in Casual Mode.

“	It seems I did not plan for all eventualities. I must retreat immediately.	”	— Yukimura's defeat quote in Classic Mode.

“	I must withdraw... Forgive me Lady Mikoto...	”	— Yukimura's defeat quote in Conquest Chapter 6.

“	Lady Mikoto....I am sorry.	”	— Yukimura's defeat quote in Conquest Chapter 22.

“	Can this really be true?! So...be it... I admit defeat...	”	— Yukimura's defeat quote in Revelation Chapter 8.
