Yukie Utsumi (内海幸枝 Utsumi Yukie) is the female class representative and a setter of the volleyball team. She is an intelligent, caring girl, who is bold enough to say what she was thinking. She is best friends with Haruka, and has a crush on Shuya Nanahara whom she met in elementary school in April on a rainy day while trying to organize the volleyball and little league teams in the gym. Her other friends are Chisato Matsui, Yuka Nakagawa, Satomi Noda, Yuko Sakaki, Fumiyo Fujiyoshi, Izumi Kanai, and Noriko Nakagawa. She is held in high regard by most of her classmates, as both Shinji Mimura and the proud Takako Chigusa consider her to be trustworthy.
