Yukio Washimine is a high school senior and the only daughter of Ryuzo Washimine, who was the former kumicho (boss) of the yakuza organization "Washimine-gumi" (The Washimine Group).
Information
As the only surviving direct relation of the former boss of the Washimine Group, Yukio is the only one with a viable claim to the leadership of the Group. She reluctantly takes up the leadership when "Hotel Moscow" steps up their efforts to claim a part of the Japanese criminal underworld. Because of this she inevitably falls into the world of the Yakuza, eventually being devoured by the tragic darkness she so feared.
While no romance is directly shown, it is alluded to that she is deeply in love with her lifelong bodyguard Ginji. As the arc nears its end it becomes increasingly clear that Yukio had hoped run away with him to Roanapur to stake a claim in that world of crime.
Before she became the head of the Washimine Group, Yukio was a student hungry for knowledge. She loved to read in her spare time, particularly books concerning philosophy. She applied these philosophies to her life as is shown during her lunch meeting with Rock when she quotes Jean-Paul Sartre.
Thoughtful, intelligent and talented, the misfortune of being the only heir to the Washimine group proved too much for Yukio to live by. After Ginji is killed by Revy, Yukio cannot stand the thought of a life without him and stabs herself with his sword, dying next to him on the dock.
