Yuri Sakazaki/Trivia


 * In this character name, her name is typically written in Katakana due to shared heritage, living and being prominent abroad, despite being born in Japan.
 * In The King of Fighters Maximum Impact, Yuri can use an alternate costume which is similar to Eri Kasamoto's original outfit from Metal Slug series.


 * In the Neo Geo Freak's 1997 Volume 8 character poll, she was voted as the tenth favorite character with a total of 944 votes. In the character popularity poll on Neo Geo Freak's website, she was voted as the nineteenth favorite character with a total of 726 votes.


 * In the Art of Fighting series, the first two mainline KOF games and resuming from The King of Fighters XIII, Yuri's top clothes are ripped. The same process occurs with King in the referred games (except in AOF 3, when both character doesn't appear as playable characters).


 * Yuri notably breaks the fourth wall in KOF XI: in her win pose against Gai Tendo, she suggests he try saying "Hurricane Upper!", referencing the fact that Gai and Joe Higashi have the same voice actor (that voices Joe until KOF XIII and Gai until KOF XI).
 * Yuri also breaks the fourth wall in SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy, during his boss scene with Shermie, when both characters mentions indirectly Rugal Bernstein. Yuri says "swears she's heard that someone else say the same thing in the past", referencing the villain intentions with the KOF tournament in The King of Fighters '94, and Shermie says "I wonder if he also going to blow himself up when he loses?", referencing the fact that Rugal blew up his base when defeated, with him inside.
 * Later in the series, Antonov and King of Dinosaurs also breaks the fourth wall, but physically.
 * The Samurai Shodown series also uses the break of the fourth wall with the characters Yoshitora Tokugawa (during his fatefull battle with Jubei Yagyu [another fourth wall breaker] in Samurai Shodown (2019), he looks to the player), Wan-Fu and Iroha.


 * In the most of her appearances, Yuri uses a brown belt (known as 1st Kyu or Ikkyū in Karate). However, in her appearance in The King of Fighters XIII, she uses a yellow belt (known as 5th Kyū or Gokkyū in Karate). The belts represent, in karate, the levels of mastery in the martial art.
 * Her brother, Ryo, and other practitioners of Kyokugen style that appears as playable characters, uses the black belt (known as Dan in Karate).


 * In the most of her appearances in The King of Fighters series, Yuri is seen wearing a long braided hairstyle, which has been removed in The King of Fighters XIII and in The King of Fighters XIV. Yuri is seen wearing braids again in The King of Fighters XV.
 * Her braids are seen for the first time in Art of Fighting 3 (when she is a NPC character) and, in KOF XIII, the hairstyle appears in an alternative outfit.
 * In the first two games of the Art of Fighting series, Yuri's hair is loose.


 * In the first two chapters of the current saga, Yuri is the only character with four Special Moves (including the Climax Cancel).
