Yaya Fushiguro is a female character from Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs, a human girl possessed by a cat deity and known for her cat ears, tail, quiet demeanor, and remarkable agility.
Yaya Fushiguro lives in Room 203 of Yuragi Inn and is one year younger than Kogarashi Fuyuzora.
She is a human girl possessed by a cat deity, which gives her distinctly feline traits such as cat ears, a tail, catlike habits, and enhanced physical abilities.
At the start of the story, it is spring break between her second and third years of middle school.
From chapter 4 onward, she is a third-year middle school student, and from volume 9 she joins Class 1-3 at Yukemuri High School.
She has short blue-green hair and striking golden eyes.
Her verbal tic is “u,” and she is often presented as a quiet, emotionally restrained girl who is nevertheless kind and honest at heart.

Yaya speaks very little and rarely shows strong emotion.
Even so, she is naturally gentle, straightforward, and easy to understand once her actions are observed closely.
Her personality strongly reflects her bond with the cat deity possessing her.
She often sleeps, dislikes hot water somewhat, enjoys basking in sunny high places, and has a huge appetite.
She especially loves fish.
People who can cook delicious food can win her over very easily.
She begins to trust and grow attached to Kogarashi Fuyuzora after he cooks salted grilled char for her and after she recognizes his sincere attitude toward cat deities and spirits.
From that point on, she becomes noticeably friendlier toward him.
She calls Chitose Nakai respectfully, but tends to address almost everyone else without honorific distance.
That habit adds to her blunt but oddly endearing presence.
Yaya’s combat style resembles that of a beast tamer in a role-playing game.
She summons cat deities and fights alongside them.
Her strength depends heavily on the cat deity possessing her.
If she becomes separated from that deity, her athletic ability drops to that of an ordinary human.
Yaya herself admits that she can do nothing alone.
However, her spiritual power is quite strong, and even without borrowing a cat deity’s power she can see and touch Yuuna Yunohana.
She gets along well with other cat deities too.
She is even capable of summoning multiple cat deities at the same time, an impressive feat that sets her apart.
Later, she becomes friends with the legendary giant divine beast Nyanga and gains the ability to summon it.
With that power, she can fight on equal footing alongside transcendent-class figures such as Nonko Arahabaki and Matra.
Yaya is highly athletic and has strong feline instincts.
She enjoys resting in high, sunny places and moving with the grace and unpredictability of a cat.
She is a regular participant in the annual Lucky Cat Festival.
There, she captivates cat deities with alluring movements and elegantly evades them, making her especially popular among them.
Her connection with cat deities is not merely functional in battle.
She is personally well liked by them, which reinforces her image as a true cat-themed girl rather than simply someone with supernatural powers.
Although the story initially does not show her attending school much, chapter 27 reveals that she is a third-year student at the middle school affiliated with Yukemuri High School.
She later advances to Yukemuri High School in chapter 75.
Yaya appears to have strong academic ability and concentration.
During final exam study sessions, even when Sagiri Ameno loses control because of one of Koyuzu Shigaraki’s love potions, Yaya quietly continues working through her assignments without distraction.
In collected volume character introductions, Yaya is described as a “cat-type girl.”
She is not exactly the same as a typical transformed cat or monster cat, but rather a human closely tied to a possessing cat deity.
Her surname is revealed relatively late, in chapter 22.
That delayed reveal is a small but notable point in her publication history.
In the first character popularity poll, Yaya ranked 8th with 442 votes.
In the second character popularity poll, she ranked 9th with 401 votes.
A possible precursor to Yaya exists in one of creator Tadahiro Miura’s earlier one-shot works, Paw Pads!, distributed through Jump Live.
That romantic comedy features a male high school student named Yuta and his pet black cat Kuro, who transforms into a human girl.
Kuro’s appearance and concept resemble Yaya in several ways.
However, the differences are also clear: Yaya has green-toned hair and a modest chest, while Kuro has purple hair and a much larger bust.
“Yaya will wash your back for you.”
