Yuria Hoshina (星名 百合亜, Hoshina Yuria) neé Misaki (岬, Misaki), is an Earthling Earth Federation Cosmo Force officer. She previously served as a member of the operations department of the United Nations Cosmo Navy battleship Yamato during its first voyage to Iscandar. Among her duties during the voyage, she hosted the radio program YRA Radio Yamato. Misaki had a psychic connection with Princess Yurisha Iscandar, providing an important method of contact between Yurisha and the crew. More than three years later, she joined her former Yamato crew members in attempting to steal the battleship for a journey to the planet Terezart.

During the Gatlantis Campaign she served on board the Wave-motion Test Ship Ginga along with her husband, Toru Hoshina. Following the war, she was briefly reassigned to the Yamato, before becoming the chief radar operator of the Hyuga, a battleship-carrier part of the new Yamato Fleet.

Following the Iscandar Incident, she was assigned to Earth Defense Force Headquarters. At the start of the Dezariam Invasion of Earth, she attempted to escape Earth to join with the rest of the Yamato Fleet's crew, but remained stranded on the planet and is currently a fugitive.

History

Early Life

2199: Voyage to Iscandar:

Misaki Yuria took part in the voyage to planet Iscandar at the age of 17, making her the youngest crew member at the time. She could be seen at the buss transporting the Yamato crew members to the ship, she noticed Hoshina who was looking at her, but he looked away when she turned towards him. During the voyage, she shared a room with Makoto.[5]

Throughout the Voyage, Misaki could be seen around Hoshina. When the Yamato is planing to visit a mine on Enceladus for cosmonite 90, they could be seen in the cafeteria together. Hoshina commented on the Kodai and Shima's friendship, although Yuki did not seem impressed by them and warns both not to become like them. Hoshina simply smiled at her comment, while Misaki nervously agreed with her.[6]

Although she worked in the operations division, she could be seen at the radar on the first bridge while Mori Yuki and Saijo Miki were off duty. She could also be seen aiding Makoto Harada in first aid such as when the Yamato hid under the frozen ocean of Pluto during operation M-2. As she helped Makoto tend to the injured, she wondered how the enemy managed to find them, although Makoto was unable to provide answers.[7][8]

After she received permission, Misaki started her own radio show on te ship called YRA radio Yamato where she played music and interviewed other crew members on the ship. She also took requests from crew members such as reading a passage of a book like clockwork prisoner by Shiro Shinta as well as fan mail. As the Yamato moved further into space, she could still be seen hanging out with Hoshina, who frequently visited her after she finished her recording sessions, although she is seemed to be annoyed by it, wondering if it really was okay for Hoshina to hang out with her. After hearing of a rumor about a beautiful ghost woman from Hoshina, she revealed that she saw the supernatural on earth all the time, leaving him speechless.[9][10][11]

When the Gamiloid escaped the science lab and was hunted by security, Misaki was near the automatic navigation control room and turned towards as if she noticed something. She would later encounter Sanada, Analyzer, Ito and Hoshina by the turret loading room 2 and question security if they would harm an unarmed prisoner, stating that if it has a heart it should be treated properly despite being a machine. After Analyzer opens the door, Misaki suddenly falls to her knees feeling weak, to which Hoshina catched and comforted her.[11]

When the Yamato fell into a dimensional fault, Misaki witnessed the automatic navigation control room open and light up. Yurisha appeared before her and held her face with her hands, to which she promtly fell unconscious. Mori Yuki would find her unconscious on the floor and wake her up.[12] After the incident, she would start dreaming strange dreams such as working in the hospital where she found an unconscious Mori Yuki. Yurisha starts to manifest herself behind her to which Misaki turned around and screamed, waking up in her bed. Makoto Harada, who sleeped above her asked what was wrong, to which she replied that she had a dream about a beautiful woman. Makoto dismissed it as a good dream and went back to bed as Misaki tried to explain.[13]

When Mirenel Linke attacked the ship with her psychic powers, Yurisha would take control of Misaki for the first time. Along side Kodai and Yuki, she would aid them in saving the ship and stopping Mirenel by trapping her inside the wave motion engine and activating it while under Yurisha's influence. Misaki appears to not remember anything from when she was under control, later stating that she has gaps in her memory. Furthermore, while under the influence of Yurisha, she would remove her hair clips and let her hair down. [14]

Yuria questions Sanada on the Wave motion gun.

Yurisha controls Misaki and questions Sanada on the wave motion gun.

While under the infuence of Yurisha, Misaki would wander around the ship and ask the crew about the wave motion gun with great knowlage of physics. This would surprise other crew members such as Sanada, Aihara and Ota who would also comment on her new hairstyle. Hoshina showed concern about her new behaviour.[15]

Misaki partook in the search operation for water and materials on Beemela 4. During the descent towards the planet, Kodai and Hirata concerningly asked about how she was feeling to which she responded by revealing that she lately had gaps in her memory. Kodai told her that was not normal but she insisted she was feeling fine, after which she would faint and Yurisha would take control of her body again. She remained under control for the majority of the mission until encountering an old abandoned Iscandarian ship and after Yurisha told them about Iscandar, Misaki returned to her body again. Falling to her knees, a concerned Kodai once again asked her if she was alright telling her that she was saying strange things. Yuria on the other hand thought he meant her new hairstyle, saying it looked weird. Together with Kodai, Hirata and Analyzer, she would find the wave motion core containing information about the galactic gateway to Balun.[16]

Yuria hugs Hoshina

Hoshina holds Misaki in his arms after she jumps out to hug him, still under the infuence of Yurisha.

Misaki would once again find herself under the control of Yurisha, however this time Yurisha would remain in control for a longer time (until the rainbow starcluster battle). Yurisha would also reveal her control of Misaki's body to the rest of the crew as Yuki found Yurisha's real body asleep in the automatic navigation control room. During Yurisha's control, Hoshina would show concern for her and watch over her.[17]

After the battle of Balun, they could be seen on the deck of the Yamato in their space suits. Hoshina commented on the beauty of the tarantula nebula and looked at her. Suddenly, she jumped out towards him and he catches her. He warns her that doing that is dangerous and she replied that Misaki really wanted him to hug her and that she (Yurisha) wonders what a hug is. This showed him that she was still inside her body despite losing control of it. Yurisha would also question captain Okita Juzo's decision to use the wave motion gun through Misaki.[18]

During the rainbow starcluster battle, Hoshina escorted Yurisha away from the window areas as it was a dangerous area during the fighting and encountered three Gamilan infiltrators, getting himself shot after confronting them. In horror of Hoshina's limp body and fear of losing him, Misaki pushed Yurisha out and regain control of her own body again.[19] After the battle, she sat with Hoshina in the medical room where she confessed her fear of losing him and her feelings for him, to which he hugs her.[20]

Yuria at the radar station during the final battle

During the final battle with Gamilas at the Salezar system, Misaki sat at the radar station and braced for impact when the Yamato rammed the palace at Baleras. She continued her duties until the end of the battle where she handed over the radar station to Mori who had been rescued by Kodai. As the Yamato descended towards Iscandar, she stood beside Mori and looked at the planet from the first bridge.[21] While on Iscandar, she swam together with Hoshina.[22] After leaving Iscandar and during the journey back to earth, she continued her duties at the radar station and still hosted YRA radio Yamato.[23] Misaki and Hoshina could be seen together on the first bridge as the Yamato returned to earth.[24]

2202: Telezart and the War with Gatlantis:

During the war with Gatlantis, Yuria Stays on Earth with Toru Hoshina, Mikage Kiryu, and Susumu Yamazaki instead of going on the Yamato. She ends up marrying Hoshina sometime after that, and then going on the Ginga, captained by Saki Todo.

2205: Mission to Salezar:

By 2205, Yuria was transferred over to the Hyuuga as chief radio operator. She can be seen on a call with Hoshina, telling him that if he does not hurry up he'd be late for the ceremony. She preformed her duties during the battle with Dezarium and the rescue operation of Gamilan civilians trapped on Iscandar. [25]

2207: Operation DAD:

After the 65th escort fleet was reorganized, Yuria began working at the earth federation headquarters alongside her husband Toru Hoshina, Miki Saijo and Yuki Mori. She commented on the outages caused throughout the solar system as the grand reverse closed in on earth. During the evacuation of former Yamato crew members she was seen walking on the HQ landingpad alongside Saijo, awaiting their transport. The transport is shot down when approaching the HQ, and Yuria along side the rest of HQ personel made their way back to the command room, where Todo Heikuro promtly ordered them to leave using the under ground tunnels. They are split into two groups, with Yuria escaping with Hoshina. She did not make it off earth before Dezarium begins their occupation. [26][27]

Yuria speaks to hoshina 3199 2

Yuria reacts negatively to Hoshina dismissing her request to partake in the operation.

During the following days, she remained hidden withing the new capital together with Hoshina, who was planning to establish contact with Nanbu and the Hyuga crew. She asked how Hoshina's patrol went to which he responds that Dezarium are integrating into society after Skulldarts announcement. When Hoshina spoke of his plan to contact Nanbu and the others, she voiced concern that Nanbu is being monitored but is told he'll figure it out. [28]

After Hoshina established the resistance and planned their first anti-dezarium operation, Yuria tells him about how she wants to help. However, Hoshina dismissed her request because he doesn't want another thing to worry about. This makes her both worried and upset.[29]

Personality

Yuria Misaki is the youngest of the yamato crew to embark on the voyage to Iscandar. She is shown to be a dilligent worker when she preforms her tasks as radar operator or preforming first aid. She can sense the super natural like seeing ghosts, but is not particularly concerned about it.[30] She is shown to care deeply for Hoshina Toru whom she marries, willing to help him with dangerous tasks or put herself in danger to help him. [31][32] She is good friends with Makoto Harada and likes cooking various dishes.[33]

As Toru Hoshina is growing the resistance against Dezarium, Yuria starts to grow frustrated in not being allowed to help out as well as not understanding Hoshina's desire to fight the invaders.[33]

Etymology

  • The name Yuria means "lily" (百合) (yuri) and "second, Asia" (亜) (a).
  • Yuria's surname Misaki means "headland, cape, spit, promontory" (岬).
    • Her married name Hoshina means "star" (星) (hoshi) and "name, noted, distinguished, reputation" (名) (na).

Notes

  • Aya Uchida hosted a tie-in Internet radio show called YRA Radio Yamato.[34][35]
  • In the manga, most of the Yamato crew believe that the effects of Yurisha's mind control is a symptom from Mirenel Linke's attack on the ship, and Yuria is shown to be much more concerened about her gaps in her memory.
  • Her relationship with Hoshina Toru progresses a lot faster in Michio Murakawa's Space battleship Yamato 2199 Manga. They become a couple after the line-crossing ceremony, as opposed to after the rainbow starcluster battle in the anime.
