Youko is a female kitsune youkai who was named by Kantarou. At the start of Tactics, Youko was already living with Kantarou. She is loud and impulsive, and often loses her temper with Kantarou. Youko can make her fox ears appear and disappear at will, and she can transform into her fox form if she chooses. Youko is shown to be deeply concerned about household expenses and pesters Kantarou to finish his book manuscripts. Before joining Kantarou, Youko was initially a lonely youkai who deceived travelers into believing she was a member of their family. Youko pretends to be Kantarou's wife, but Kantarou soon reveals her true nature as a youkai and invites her to join his household.
