Yuka Nakano

Hometown: Tokyo Japan Height: 149 cm Yuka is a karate champion who seeks to expand her horizons by becoming an idol. She was her karate teams team captain and was the ranking National Champion. Karate is a major aspect of her life but she wants to be a master of dance and song as well. During her interview she admits to the judges about how her karate master told her that there were multiple paths she could take in life other than Karate. She told the judges about her secret admiration for idols and how she wanted to see for herself what this path in her life would be like. Interestingly unlike other idols hobbies Yukas is never visually incorporated into her idol costumes. Shes shown to wear a karate gi in her first card illustration taken before she became an idol but its never been shown on stage. Instead her trademark is her two ponytails and she gets very embarrassed if shes seen with her hair down. In the tie in Cinderella Girls Theater skits Yuka is depicted as being abnormally strong. In her first appearance she breaks a dartboard in half with a single throw. She has some experience with cooking although she does have trouble keeping up with a pumpedup Takumi Mukai. She participated in a talk battle with Ayame Hamaguchi Kurumi Ohnuma and Kanade Hayami. When she landed a role with Aki Yamato and Itsuki Manabe in a Kung Fu movie she eagerly performed moves that had a focus on animal names. She seems to like Yukari Mizumotos sleeping face.
