ユリ・サカザキ ユリサカザキ
A character from [[SNK|SNK's]] [[Ryuuko no Ken|Art of Fighting]] and [[The King of Fighters]] series. She wears a red [[headband]] and a training outfit - typically the upper half of a [[dougi]] - over a blue [[leotard]] and [[sports bra]]. She has [[brown hair]] most commonly done up as a [[braided ponytail]].

She is the second child and only daughter of [[karate|Kyokugen-ryuu Karate]] founder [[Takuma Sakazaki]]. She has an older brother named [[Ryou Sakazaki|Ryo]]. She is the love interest of fellow Kyokugen disciple and friend of the family [[Robert Garcia]].

She practices the Swallow discipline of Kyokugen-ryuu Karate, having learned the family style within a year (against her father's wishes, initially). She is also the first female to be able to perform the [[Haou Shoukou Ken|Haoh Shoko Ken]]. She is often described as a genius, able to learn moves very quickly. For this reason, Yuri has a habit of parodying moves from other characters, most infamously [[Ryu (Street Fighter)|Ryu]] and [[Akuma (Street Fighter)|Akuma]] from [[Street Fighter]] (a way for [[SNK]] to lightly poke fun back at [[Capcom]] after the latter made [[Hibiki Dan|Dan Hibiki]]).

She first appeared as a damsel in distress, kidnapped by [[Mr Big (SNK)|Mr. Big]] in Art of Fighting 1 and rescued by Ryo and Robert. She made her playable debut in Art of Fighting 2.

Her original fighting stage was a fitness gym, and her signature theme song is named "Diet". As of [[Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves]], which takes place long after the events of Art of Fighting, Yuri owns her own gym.

In the King of Fighters continuity, Yuri is a founding member of the Women Fighters Team alongside [[Shiranui Mai|Mai Shiranui]] and [[King (SNK)|]].

She has a voluntary verbal tic of adding "-cchi" to the end of her sentences, allegedly for the sole purpose of sounding cuter. For example, "余裕!"/"Yoyuu!" ("Easy!") becomes "余裕っち~!"/"Yoyuu-cchi~!" ("Easy peasy~!")
