After he gives his demonstration, she walks up to greet him. Yuriko is later seen standing outside of the Takagi house awaiting the arrival of her husband Souichiro. Before Takashi leaves she asks if he will do a favor for her by trying to persuade Saya to listen to her. She tells Takashi that he and the others all have a great will to survive, and they have done well to survive this long.

She says that they will go in a bus with anyone who has the will to survive and take full responsibility of water and electricity for the city. She tells him that, since everywhere is filling up with "them", the workers will have to abandon the water and power plants, and without maintenance, the plants will stop running. She then changes the subject and tells him that Tokonosu is getting its water and electricity from the dam at Okunako. He asks her if they are overstaying their welcome, and she says no. He admits that he does a little, and she smiles and tells him she likes boys who are honest. She asks if he finds the house of the leader of an ultra-nationalist group a little frightening. Takashi says yes and then compliments her on the house. She asks him if he has ever seen this side of Saya and notes that they have been friends since kindergarten. Yuriko then walks up to Takashi and says she really upset her. Saya tells her she is always right and angrily walks off, meeting Takashi Komuro in the hallway and yelling at him before running down the stairs. Later at the Takagi house, Yuriko gets into an argument with Saya. Upon seeing that it is her mother, Saya runs over to Yuriko and hugs her. Yuriko removes her helmet and says that she wanted to help her daughter and her friends.
When they are all safe, Saeko Busujima bows to Yuriko and thanks her for saving them in their time of need (In the anime, Shizuka Marikawa is the one who does this). They quickly blast all of "them" back while Yuriko helps the group across the fence. She and a group of men from the Takagi house arrive wearing firefighter uniforms and armed with pressurized water cannons.
Yuriko is first seen when the group is stuck at the rope fence and are about to be overwhelmed by "them". She loves Saya very much and will do whatever she can to ensure her daughter gets what is best for her even if that means staying behind and potentially sacrificing herself so that Saya and the others can escape. She is extremely loyal and slightly submissive to her husband Souichiro, and she tends to stand back silently while he interacts with others even when he was trying to take the guns away from Kohta Hirano. But unlike Saya, Yuriko is a calm and reserved woman rather than loud and arrogant. Since then she has used her financial talent to substantially increase the Takagi fortune. On her way home from an overseas vacation, she met Souichiro at a party, and the two got married the next day. She has a slender figure and dresses in a style which resembles the typical aristocratic attire which is a thin red dress, a white cloth wrapped around her arms and mid to lower body, and a silver necklace with a small charm on the front and lipstick.īefore meeting and marrying Souichiro Takagi, Yuriko was a highly successful stockbroker on Wall Street. Yuriko has long, light purple hair that wears her hair down and has it much shorter in the front and pushed to either side of her face and purple eyes. She is also very skilled with guns, since she had training to protect herself from muggers in New York. She is very faithful to her husband and loves her daughter very much. She acquired a large fortune while trading stocks, and thanks to her business connections, the Takagi family fortune rose significantly when she married Souichiro. Yuriko was once a Wall Street stockbroker and she later married Souichiro Takagi after she was impressed with his charisma and political skills.
