Yuka Hanazawa (or Yuka-chi as she refers to herself sometimes) is a member of Red Tail with a talkative and brash personality. She is usually seen with Ryoko Asuka. As a member of the Red Tail, she is a very good fighter and is not afraid of facing men.

She has long dyed hair always adorned with a flower shaped hairpin. The hairpin can be used as a dagger.

Personality
Yuka is a very talkative member of Red Tail. She has a habit of passing sexually embarrassing comments and passing jokes on others:
 * 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
 * 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.

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.

She is not afraid to make fun of someone stronger than her, such a making fun of awkward motions of Himekawa's pompadour. She has a habit of saying 'Paa-ne'.

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.
