Megami Ibunroku Persona
In the beginning, Yukino was one of the students present while her classmates played the Persona game, and thus ends up unconcious at the conclusion of the game. As a result she follows the party to the Mikage Hospital for an examination. While there, demons attack, and she fights her way out of the hospital with her fellow classmates. Upon reaching the school, Yukino leaves the party, and does not return in the SEBEC quest.

However, in the Snow Queen quest, she is a mandatory character. Yukino is there when Saeko Takami is possessed by the Snow Queen, and feels it is her duty to rescue her teacher.

Revelations Persona
In the original American release, Yukino (Known as Yuki) was only in the party during the first part of the game, as the Snow Queen Quest was taken out. It should be noted that she was possibly the least edited character in the Revelations version.

Persona 2: Innocent Sin

 * Age: 20
 * Height: 170cm
 * Weight: 52kg
 * Weapon: Razorblades
 * Arcana: Empress

Yukino is Maya's photographer and partner at "Coolest" magazine. Yukino is currently the apprentice of Fujii Shunsuke, a seasoned photographer who acts as her mentor. She harbors a deep-seated crush for Fujii, and tries to disguise her tomboy traits in his presence. Still holding dear the memory of her former teacher Ms. Saeko, who rescued her from a life of crime, Yukino is compelled to do the same for another student who seems about to embark down the same path, Anna Yoshizaka. She is investigating the JOKER incident with her partner, Maya Amano.

Tatsuya's group first meets with Maya and Yukino in the principal's office at Seven Sisters High School. After discovering that Tatsuya's group knows about the rumors, the two join their party and chase after Joker with them. While at Club Zodiac, Yukino meets Anna and is concerned that she has dropped out. Afterwards, Yukino plays a relatively minor role then the rest of the party until reaching Caracol.

There will be two different outcomes of her fate at Caracol; if the player lets her stay with Fujii after his death, Anna will be led to the abyss of unconsciousness by Shadow Yukino. Yukino will be emotionally shocked after learning the truth. Philemon then suggests transferring her Persona ability to Jun Kurosu, an ability he lost when he ceased to be Joker (although Joker's Persona is actually Nyarlathotep). If the player encourages Yukino to move on after facing Fujii's death, Philemon will grant her her ultimate Persona, Durga. Instead of fighting Shadow Yukino and Anna, the player will defeat three Knights of the Holy Lance to save Anna. Even after Shadow Yukino shows up, Yukino bravely confronts the shadow and tells the team to leave first to Kurosu's rescue. Yukino will later return with Anna and rejoin the group for one last fight against Angel Joker. After this battle, she voluntarily sacrifices her ability to use a Persona to allow Jun to wield a Persona. She is last seen heading off into the city with Anna to find the Last Battalion.

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
Yukino is still working as a photographer at Coolest Magazine. Shortly before the beginning of the game, Yukino is seperated from Maya by her boss, and is not her partner anymore. As the events of Innocent Sin do not occur in Eternal Punishment, she still retains her persona. Since she did not accompany Maya to Seven Sisters High School and encounter JOKER, she did not reawaken her Persona powers.

Persona 3
She is a guest on Trish's Who's Who, described as a very dependable looking camera woman looking to be in her twenties who got her camera from her master.
