Yugiri

Yugiri (ゆうぎり,) was a girl from the Meiji era (明治時代, Meiji-jidai). She's also a member of the idol group Franchouchou.

She is titled as the Legendary Courtesan (伝説の花魁, Densetsu no Oiran)

Appearance
Yūgiri has light auburn hair with most of it being brought up into a bow-like shape on-top of her head and two long strands hanging over her shoulders. Her bangs are mostly center-parted with one-bit curling to the right. Yūgiri also has light rust eyes, and like the other zombies, grayish-blue skin. She also has a scar across her neck.

Normally, Yūgiri wears a kimono-like outfit; with the top a white and orange checkered pattern, a purple collar, and a forest-green skirt. She also supports dark purple leggings and dark grey boots. As an Idol, Yūgiri wears a light red shirt with green dots and the number "5" written on it. She also wears a bright red skirt with white frills.

Personality
Yūgiri appears to be a very calm and traditional girl, likely because of the time period she lived in. As a result, she appears to calmly accept and conform to the changes in modern society.

She tends to slap someone and lecture them on an answer or revelation they already know and about to answer.

Courtesan (Oiran)
As her title suggests, Yugiri was a courtesan in the Meiji Era while alive, specifically an Oiran. An Oiran, though a type of Yūjo (prostitute) were more so entertainers than physical pleasures. This is probably why Kōtarō resurrected her in the first place as she had experience and skills as an entertainer before.

Shamisen
As evident in episode 2, Yugiri has incredible skill on the instrument called a shamisen, able to play fast and move her fingers around the neck of the instrument with high speed and skill.

Character concept
It feels like a combination of things coming out of the word "Oiran", it was necessary to consider the times to some extent. They wanted to affirm the fact that Yugiri alone could be placed in the leading position, an idol with a strong personality.
