Appearance
Yuri is a short young man standing at 5'0". He has fair skin, fluffy hair that fades from a pale red to an apple green, and grey eyes with star irises. He wears a long-sleeved white shirt, a yellow and black striped shirt, a green button up blazer coat with yellow buttons, a rocket backpack with two circles - likely depicting planets - attached on the straps. He also wears a pair of brown trousers, a pair of grey socks, and a pair of black shoes with white soles. In his character illustration, Yuri wears a typical Astronaut suit without the helmet.

Outside of the simulation, Yuri is much taller; standing at an unknown height. His hair is less fluffy, and he appears to be more muscular than before. He wears a white shirt, a red ascot with a wavy white end with a faux red gem fitting as a centre piece, a dark blue vest with a golden lining and golden buttons, a pair of black trousers, a pair of white socks, and a pair of brown shoes.

Creation and Development
Yuri was created near the end of Danganronpa: Another Despair Academy's development. Originally, he was much more muscular, and is described to be akin to a 'gag character', being much more "crazy and enthusiastic" than he is in the final project. LINUJ states that Yuri and Shobai Hashimoto were both candidates for the Chapter One death; he eventually decided to go with Yuri being the first victim, while Shobai would live and later become a survivor. If he had been chosen to survive, it is possible that his initial personality would've still been kept. LINUJ also states that, had this been the case, the atmosphere of the game may of changed entirely, being a potential reason as to why he decided to kill off Yuri in favour of Shobai.

Yuri's initial design shows him to have changed very little between development, only being more muscular than he is in-game and outside of the simulation. However, Yuri would later get a new design for his out-of-simulation appearance, no longer wearing the same outfit as his in-game self.

Personality
Yuri has completely "dedicated his life to women", which he states is his life motto. He's quite flirtatious towards the female cast, notably referring to them as "baby" and "dear" among other nicknames, causing them to feel uncomfortable, exhausted or annoyed while they're around him.

On the other hand, Yuri completely detests males, including his own father, comparing them to pebbles on the side of the street, and exaggerating by saying they give him headaches when he's around them. He's often rude to males because of this reason, making hateful remarks about or to them or flatout ignoring them at times. It's noted by LINUJ that Yuri's hate for men was influenced by his father, as he taught him to worship women.

Due to Yuri's nature around females and males, the cast (par for Mikado Sannōji and Shobai, who tolerate him) quickly grow to despise Yuri and his presence, including Setsuka whom is noted to be the friendliest and easiest to befriend participant by LINUJ. Despite this, Yuri continues nonetheless, believing himself to be the ideal figure that broke the mold of the traditional male.

Early Life
Yuri was born into a wealthy family, mixed Japanese-Russian family, known for their powerhouse astrological industry. As he grew up Yuri was taught everything he knows about space by his father, who wanted him to get into Hope's Peak Academy and make a name for himself. He was also taught to worship women, which later led for Yuri to devote his life to them, also causing his dream of being able to sacrifice his life for a women. During his childhood Yuri was kidnapped over 37 different times because of his high-status family.
