Gender: Female

Age: Same age as Rize Tedeza (around 18 in the main timeline)

Height: 160 cm

Blood type: O

Alias / Nickname: Yura, “Blowgun Club Captain” (former), “Yura-senpai”

First appearance: Original manga Volume 4, Chapter 9

Anime appearance: "Is the Order a Rabbit?? Season 2", Episode 10

Voice actress (CV): Saori Oonishi

Name origin: Her given name is derived from “Calendula,” a herb also known as pot marigold.

Yura Karede is the former head of the blowgun club at an elite girls’ high school attended by Rize Tedeza and Syaro Kirima.

Among the main cast members of the series (excluding adults), she stands at the top height class alongside Rize at 160 cm, which is roughly the average height for an 18-year-old girl.

Yura is a childhood acquaintance of Rize thanks to a connection between their fathers, who served together in a military special forces unit.

Their relationship is described as a long-running, somewhat prickly “old acquaintance” bond, influenced by the difference in their parents’ positions and their own awkwardness.

Despite being the blowgun club captain and having practiced since childhood, Yura is actually not very good at blowguns.

Her personality is elusive and mischievous: she likes to egg people on, tease them, and then enjoy their reactions.

At the same time, when someone she is teasing answers in an unexpected way, acts unpredictably, or seems to “disappear” from her reach because of what she did, Yura shows expressions completely different from her usual aloof self.

Chino Kafu notes that this side of Yura resembles Cocoa Hoto, especially in how she cares deeply beneath the teasing.

Yura is playful, sly, and hard to pin down, often approaching others with a relaxed, slightly wicked sense of humor.

She tends to push people’s buttons just to see what they will do and will sometimes form “conspiracies” with others, such as once teaming up with Cocoa to act like “bad girls.”

She shows a clear fondness for teasing Syaro Kirima, especially after entering university, when she frequently appears as “Yura-senpai” to mess with Syaro.

Her teasing is rarely outright malicious, but it can go too far, and she sometimes regrets it afterward.

Underneath the trickster layer, Yura has a protective side, especially toward Rize.

As a child, Yura would secretly guard Rize from the shadows using her blowgun skills, acting as a hidden bodyguard without making herself too close due to the differences in their family status.

When her teasing unintentionally causes emotional harm, Yura becomes visibly shaken and guilty, revealing that she is more sensitive and empathetic than she pretends.

She can also be surprisingly considerate in practical matters, such as giving up a part-time job to allow others a chance.

At the Elite Girls’ School

Yura appears when Rize Tedeza and Syaro Kirima make the rounds of various school clubs.

At that time, she is introduced as the blowgun club captain and is seen in gym clothes and bloomers during club activities.

She challenges Rize and Syaro to a match related to a mysterious “legendary alumna” known as the “Legendary OG, Miss Emerald.”

Yura proposes betting information about Miss Emerald as a prize, claiming she has insider knowledge.

During the match, Rize surprisingly fails to hit the targets, while Syaro lands one hit after another.

Yura, impressed by Syaro’s talent, tries to scout Syaro into the blowgun club, but Syaro declines due to her part-time job commitments.

The information Yura offers about Miss Emerald turns out to be vague and nearly useless.

She can only recall that Miss Emerald’s name is Midori and that she was often forcibly brought back by juniors, leaving Rize and Syaro unable to realize who Miss Emerald really is.

Meanwhile, at Rabbit House, a certain manager is heard referring to someone as “Midori-chan,” hinting strongly at the true identity of Miss Emerald.

However, Rize and Syaro themselves never connect the dots at that time.

Connection with Rize Tedeza

Later in the original manga, Yura’s full name, Yura Karede, is revealed.

It is also officially confirmed that Rize’s father and Yura’s father know each other from the military, making Yura and Rize childhood acquaintances.

After graduating from high school, Yura goes on to attend the same university and the same faculty as Rize.

She lives as a resident maid at Rize’s family home after graduation, working there while studying.

Their relationship is defined as a “corrupted old bond”: they have known each other since childhood but never became straightforwardly close.

Yura’s younger self would protect Rize from the shadows with her blowgun, yet she never stepped openly into the role of “close friend” due to the hierarchical gap between their families and her own complicated feelings.

Work at Rabbit House

Yura has a part-time connection with Rabbit House, the café run by Chino Kafu’s family.

When Cocoa Hoto and the others are away on a trip, Yura helps out at Rabbit House alongside Rize’s father.

During this time, she secretly puts on Rize’s Rabbit House uniform without permission and works in it.

This adds a playful and slightly transgressive layer to her character, showing how she enjoys bending rules in small ways.

University Life and Teasing Syaro

Once she enters university, Yura continues to be involved with the main cast.

She is especially active as a “teasing senpai” toward Syaro Kirima, often popping up to pester her, fluster her, or drag her into playful situations.

Her dynamic with Syaro is built on the contrast between Syaro’s seriousness and nervousness and Yura’s laid-back, unreadable attitude.

Yura clearly enjoys Syaro’s reactions but does care about her and does not push to truly hurt her.

Yura also once joins forces with Cocoa to act in a “bad” or mischievous way, hinting that she gets along well with Cocoa’s energetic and prank-friendly personality.

Chino’s comment that Yura resembles Cocoa suggests that Yura’s core is warm and people-oriented despite the pranks.

Part-Time Work at Bright Bunny

After starting university, Yura also takes a part-time job at a café called Bright Bunny.

She works there at the same time as Fuyu Fuiba, another character connected to the Bright Bunny group.

Originally, Bright Bunny had only about two part-time positions left when Yura joined.

Because she was hired first, twins Natsume Jinja and Eru Jinja could not both be hired together.

Upon learning that her employment blocked the twins from working side by side, Yura resigns from Bright Bunny at some point.

This appears to be a considerate choice on her part, allowing both members of the Nae sisters (Natsume and Eru) to be hired, showing that she is willing to sacrifice her own convenience for others’ sake.

The “Miss Emerald” Incident

Yura is the key instigator in the school arc featuring the “Legendary OG, Miss Emerald.”

She appears like a “wind” that blows in and supports various clubs, and she uses the rumor of Miss Emerald to set up a challenge with Rize and Syaro.

She claims to know insider information about Miss Emerald, but her memory is comically unreliable.

All she can say with confidence is that Miss Emerald’s name is Midori and that she was frequently dragged back by juniors when she slipped away.

Because Yura’s information is so incomplete, Rize and Syaro fail to realize Miss Emerald’s true identity.

Meanwhile, hints around Rabbit House suggest strongly that Miss Emerald is connected to a person there who is called “Midori-chan” by a manager.

Third-Year Halloween and Cocoa’s Anxiety

In the third year’s Halloween event, Yura plays a significant emotional role.

Cocoa is feeling anxious about the future and about drifting apart from her friends.

Instead of reassuring her, Yura decides to tease Cocoa about those anxieties, intentionally amplifying Cocoa’s fears as part of her usual prankster behavior.

This backfires badly, as Cocoa becomes overwhelmed and temporarily “disappears” from the group, physically and emotionally distancing herself.

Yura is shaken and regretful when she realizes the impact of her teasing.

When Cocoa’s safety is confirmed, Yura, hiding her true identity, hugs Cocoa and expresses genuine relief that she is okay.

Later, Cocoa overcomes her anxiety through experiences in an “alternate world”–type scenario (a story development referenced elsewhere), but Yura’s guilt and heartfelt reaction highlight that she never meant real harm.

This incident is a turning point that exposes Yura’s softer side and her deep concern for her friends.

Rize Tedeza

Yura and Rize are the same age and share a long history through their fathers’ connection in the military.

Yura has acted as a secret guardian for Rize since childhood, using her blowgun skills from the shadows rather than stepping into the spotlight.

Because of the social gap between their families and Rize’s position, Yura kept some emotional distance.

Their relationship is therefore a mix of “childhood friends” and “awkward comrades,” rich with unspoken history and mutual respect.

After high school, Yura chooses the same university and major as Rize, bringing them closer in daily life.

She also lives and works as a maid in Rize’s home, making her a constant presence in Rize’s environment.

Syaro Kirima

Syaro is one of Yura’s favorite targets for teasing, especially once Yura becomes a university student.

As “Yura-senpai,” she approaches Syaro from a position of seniority and playfully pressures her in social situations.

Yura recognizes Syaro’s blowgun talent when Syaro easily hits targets that Rize misses during their club visit.

She even tries to recruit Syaro into the blowgun club, though Syaro declines to focus on her part-time job.

Yura’s antics often leave Syaro flustered and embarrassed, but they share a growing connection.

Yura’s teasing is a form of affection, and she respects Syaro’s work ethic and responsibilities.

Cocoa Hoto

Yura’s relationship with Cocoa centers on their shared tendency toward playful mischief.

They once collaborate in “bad” behavior, forming a brief troublemaker duo.

Chino compares Yura to Cocoa, noting their similar ability to deeply affect others emotionally and their mix of teasing and genuine care.

The Halloween incident, where Yura amplifies Cocoa’s anxiety and later regrets it, shows how closely their emotional worlds can intersect.

After Cocoa overcomes her fears, their connection appears to deepen through shared experiences and mutual understanding.

Yura’s reaction to Cocoa’s temporary disappearance suggests she values Cocoa far more than she lets on.

Fuyu Fuiba and the Bright Bunny Group

Yura shares a workplace connection with Fuyu Fuiba through Bright Bunny, where they both work part-time during Yura’s university period.

The group also includes characters like Natsume Jinja and Eru Jinja, known collectively as the Nae sisters.

When Yura realizes that her own part-time slot at Bright Bunny prevents both Natsume and Eru from being hired together, she chooses to quit.

Her resignation makes room for the twins to work side by side, an act that shows consideration and maturity beyond her prankster image.

Rize’s Father

Rize’s father is a military special forces veteran and an old acquaintance of Yura’s father.

This connection forms the basis for Yura and Rize’s childhood relationship.

Yura has helped out at Rabbit House together with Rize’s father while Cocoa and friends were away traveling.

Working alongside him emphasizes her deeper link to Rize’s family and the military world that shaped both households.

Yura’s main “club skill” is blowgun use, which she has practiced since childhood.

Ironically, despite years of experience, she is not particularly skilled and often fails to hit targets reliably.

Her strengths lie less in raw technique and more in presence, leadership, and unpredictability.

As blowgun club captain, she is energetic and willing to challenge others, helping create a fun and competitive atmosphere.

Outside of combat or sport-like skills, Yura shows competence in housework and customer service.

She works as a live-in maid at Rize’s home, helps at Rabbit House, and previously worked at Bright Bunny.

Her emotional intelligence is subtle: she reads others well enough to tease them effectively, yet she sometimes misjudges how far she can push.

When she realizes she has gone too far, she feels genuine remorse and tries to make things right in her own way.

Yura’s birthday, January 12, makes her the earliest-born character in the series among those with confirmed birthdates.

She is followed by Fuyu Fuiba (January 24, age 15) and Rize Tedeza (February 14, age 18).

Her full name, Yura Karede, appears on the official website.

Her given name is tied to “Calendula,” a herb used in herbal medicine and known in Japanese as “kinsenka” (pot marigold in English).

Before her real name was revealed, fans and some credits referred to her simply as “Blowgun Club Captain.”

In the original manga and anime credits, “Blowgun Club Captain” is used as her role description before the revelation of her full name.

Her voice actress, Saori Oonishi, is associated with a talent agency that also represents or has represented many cast members of “Is the Order a Rabbit?”.

Saori Oonishi has notable ties with several co-stars: she has co-hosted radio shows with Cocoa Hoto’s voice actress Ayane Sakura, shares a kanji character in her name with Midori Aoyama’s voice actress Saori Hayami, and performed in an idol-unit-style role with Class president’s voice actress Yoko Hikasa in another anime.

Yura’s combination of mysterious military-linked background, hidden guardian role, and prankster personality makes her one of the more layered side characters in the series.

Her actions often serve as catalysts for both comedy and emotional development, especially in stories involving Rize, Syaro, and Cocoa.
