Main character of K-ON!. She is the lead guitarist and lead vocalist in Houkago Teatime. She plays a Gibson Les Paul Standard, in Heritage Cherry Sunburst, nicknamed Giita (ギータ). She joined the Light Music Club, thinking that "light music" meant "easy music" (like whistling or playing the castanets), and picked up the guitar with absolutely no prior experience.

She is easy going, clumsy, and spaces out often. She cannot do more than one thing at a time, but has amazing concentration when she focuses on one subject, achieving outstanding results. However, when she learns something, she usually forgets something else. She is easily distracted by trivialities (usually, cute and adorable things), but is very devoted to her band, and practices very hard when she has to.

Yui relies on her own intuition and self-taught approaches, and doesn't remember any musical terminology (much to the amazement of Mio and Azusa). She has perfect pitch, and is able to tune her guitar without a tuner.

She is fearless, and doesn't feel anxiety or stage fright.

She likes cute things and physical contact (particularly with Ui, and the victim of her skinship, Azusa). She loves sweet things, and is powered by the sweets that Mugi brings, but doesn't gain weight regardless of how much she eats.

She can't stand being either hot or cold, so she spends her winters under the kotatsu, and her summers rolling around the floor with a fan because she also dislikes the air-conditioner.

Yui is quite determined and competitive when she is fired up, but doesn't mind relying on other people - usually Mio, Nodoka, or Ui.
