Yuka Hanazawa

is a talkative member of Red Tail who often makes embarrassing statements. She has long hair that is always adorned with a flower-shaped hairpin that can be used as a dagger. As a member of the Red Tail, she is a very good fighter and is not afraid of facing men. Lately, she and Kanzaki have been getting along, beginning when they both witnessed Toujou's fight with a demon. He nicknamed her "Paa-ko" as she has a habit of saying "Paa-ne." She also is known for posing jokes to sexually embarrasing things, such as in the episode "Let's All Get Physicals" she was making fun of the awkward motions of Himekawa's pompadour made when she tried to measure his height, along with Kanzaki, Natsume, and Shiroyama, and in "What has the Transfer Girl Done?" she proposed an idea to Aoi that she should use sexual appeal to get the boys who didn't show up for practice to come, and was immediately strangled by Nene for a dumb idea, but then pointed out some things about Hilda but was immediately silenced by Aoi. However, she was seconded by Furuichi, who suggested that they change into bloomers. This made all the girls mad, including Yuka, probably feeling that it is different if a girl is speaking on the topic rather than a boy.

Trivia

 * She doesn't speak common Japanese. She speaks Osaka's dialect, which makes her talk very particular, with a frequent use of "-Ssu" with emphatic purpose.
 * When translated from kanji, her name means "Give a reason to the gracious flower". Probably a joke on her decorating her hair with a flower.
