Yuri Sakazaki/Story

=Art of Fighting series=

Past
As a child, Takuma dedicated more time training Ryo to be next family heir rather than raising Yuri. When she was six years old, her mother died in a tragic car accident. Sensing his family was being targeted, their father leaves in order to protect them. With the loss of both parents, she becomes fearful and heavily dependent on Ryo for the rest of their childhood. When she first meets Robert, she does not trust him but eventually warms up to him.

Art of Fighting
When she was 17, Yuri was kidnapped by Mr. Big on behalf of Geese Howard as part of a ploy to blackmail her father when he began to show signs of reluctance and resistance to continue doing their dirty work. Ryo and Robert search South Town to find her whereabouts and rescue her. While held hostage, she finds out the identity of Mr. Karate. When Ryo defeats her captors, she reveals it to her brother and the family is reunited.

Art of Fighting 2
In order to protect herself in the future, Takuma teaches her how to fight much to Ryo and Robert's chagrin. He trained Yuri in secret, but only taught her enough to defend herself.

Art of Fighting 3
She becomes worried about Robert when he doesn't appear for their date before Art of Fighting 3. Setting out with her brother, they search for him in Glasshill. During their trip, she is wounded by Sinclair and briefly hospitalized. If the player plays through Robert's story, a strained Yuri appears to assist his plight against Wyler. She is healthy enough to leave with Robert by the end of the game's events.

Buriki One
According to Ryo, she and Robert are still single by the time Buriki One takes place. She likely stayed at home to help the family business, as she is close enough to her brother to tell him to shave off the hair from his chin.

=The King of Fighters series= Yuri's life in this timeline is exactly the same as her Art of Fighting counterpart up until Art of Fighting 2.

The King of Fighters XIII
She stuns her father with her whimsical haircut before KOF XIII and is upset by her family's eccentric reactions.

Optimistic in her attempts to improve herself, however, she teams with Mai and King for the newest tournament.

After Ash Crimson erased himself and Saiki from history, all memories of him were erased from all who knew him, including Yuri. In the Women Fighters Team ending, she is one of the many ladies who fight in the Pao Pao Cafe (much to Richard's dismay).

SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy
Several months prior to the events of the fifteenth tournament, Kukri's obsession for women caused him to create a pocket dimension where women fighters must survive in his universe and join forces and slug it out with other women. Kukri transports most of the female fighters, including Yuri, to this pocket dimension, and they suddenly fall unconscious. Upon waking, they find themselves in a strange mansion, along some male fighters who have been changed into women. The fighters attempt to battle their way out, but are confronted by the mastermind, Kukri, who reveals he has trapped them in his castle in a pocket dimension and they must defeat him to return home.

Upon Kukri's defeat, the pocket dimension collapsed, sending everyone back through their dreams. Yuri reawakens back to reality after a nightmare where Ryo was captured instead of her in the first Art of Fighting (complete with her defeating opponents from Art of Fighting, as well as Mr. Karate being revealed to be Ryuhaku Todoh in this dream).
