Likes and Dislikes

It is revealed in Hiyori's notes that Yutaka enjoys the internet (a remark states: "...it's like her toy"). In the same manner it is reveales that Yutaka also likes hot foods (like oden), and animals; and her dislikes include milk, her sickly physique, and aggressive people. She is also noted to be strong at Japanese class; and not suprisingly, she isn't all that good at athletics.

Personality

Yutaka Kobayakawa has a weak immune system and would often get sick, so she was unable to make any friends in the previous schools she was in, which is why she was very happy when she befriended Iwasaki Minami, and eventually the whole class. She is very close to her older cousin Konata, and is innocent, as she lacks knowledge of ero-games, yaoi, and adult video games.

Biography

Yutaka first appeared on the anime on episode fourteen, when she moved to live with Konata to help with the commute. During this episode she did her entry exam for Ryōō High School, on that day she met Minami Iwasaki, who let Yutaka use her handkerchief. After being accepted into the school, she became friends with Minami Iwasaki, Hiyori Tamura and Patricia Martin. Yutaka is the closest friend of Minami and is often the only one who understands the latter's behavior. Hiyori notices this and frequently fantasizes Yutaka and Minami being a yuri-pair and has even done some sketches for a doujinshi she is creating where the characters has an uncanny similarity with the two, but still fights the thought because of the fact that they are all friends.
