==Summary==
A Magical Girl who's full of energy. Tsuruno loves her family, especially her grandfather and great-grandfather, who lead the Yuis to their former prosperity. She fights to become the strongest Magical Girl in order to restore the Yui’s honour.

===Doppel Description===
[[File:Tsuruno doppel.png|thumb|right|150px|Yu Hong, Tsuruno's doppel]]
The Doppel of harmony. Its form is ham.<ref>Specifically, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinhua_ham Jinhua ham].</ref>
The master of this emotion is quite dissatisfied with both the appearance and behavior of her Doppel.
In contrast to her own desires to achieve great deeds through her own hard work, this Doppel creates an endless stream of wealth to satisfy the never-ending desires of her close relatives in an attempt to preserve family peace. The truth is, however, that this is only a very fickle and short-lived harmony. The master believes that it exists in complete contrast to her own noble goals and prefers to keep its boorish existence hidden from the world. However, she may one day find that she needs this Doppel's powers to protect the harmony between her family members, no matter how fragile that harmony might be.

===Side Story===
Tsuruno finishes a practice fight with [[Rena Minami]]. She then challenges [[Momoko Togame]] and [[Kaede Akino]] but the three girls are reluctant to fight her. Tsuruno says she has to train more to become stronger. When Momoko asks Tsuruno why she wants to be strong, Tsuruno explains why she became a magical girl. Her great-grandfather set up a Chinese restaurant, which her grandfather made into the number one place in Kamihama, or so Tsuruno says. However, when her father took over, the restaurant's ratings and customers dropped. Meanwhile, her grandmother and mother are concerned only about luxuries, to the point where they tried to sell the keepsakes of Tsuruno's grandfather and great-grandfather simply because they wanted to buy a car.

When offered a contract, Tsuruno wished to win the 800 million yen grand prize in the lottery. However, her grandmother and mother took the money and ran away on a luxury passenger cruise. Tsuruno still insists they're just on a trip. She claims that she wants to be strong, because she believes her grandfather and great-grandfather were strong as well. When Rena points out that Tsuruno's strength might be different, Tsuruno claims her grandfather used to say that all human strength is the same at the root. She thinks if she becomes strong and energizes her family, all her problems will be solved. She says it's her duty to revive the Yui family, which used to be high class.

Tsuruno challenges Rena again, but Rena shows her something she found on the internet. Apparently there's a person in Kamihama that gives advice. She suggests Tsuruno go see that person in order to become stronger. Tsuruno decides she'll go there the next day and leaves. Meanwhile, Momoko's group are relieved to not deal with Tsuruno. The next day, Tsuruno heads to a stand called "Emiri's Room". [[Akira Shinobu]] then shows Tsuruno to the counselor, [[Emiri Kisaki]].

Emiri tells Tsuruno to talk to her, saying when people do so they feel refreshed. She says she loves talking to people herself, and built the advice stand because everyone suggested she make one. Tsuruno decides to leave, thinking Emiri can't help, but Akira asks her to stay. Tsuruno decides to tell the two her goal. Emiri says that Tsuruno should train - which is not the same as exercise. Emiri says that exercise is like practicing, but training is supposed to be super-hard - or so she read in a manga once. Tsuruno, to Akira's surprise, understands what Emiri was saying. Tsuruno figures that instead of fighting others, she should be fighting herself. 

When Tsuruno asks Emiri how to do that, Emiri introduces Akira as someone who is super strong at karate. Akira protests, but Emiri insists that Tsuruno should go to Akira's place. Akira is forced to acquiesce. Later, Akira and Tsuruno track down a lost dog. Tsuruno asks if Akira usually finds lost animals. Akira explains that people ask her to do things and she can't say no. Tsuruno thinks that people counting on her makes Akira strong. Akira admits that she can't think of another way to train Tsuruno, but Tsuruno is happy with it. Suddenly Tsuruno sees a dog, and runs over someone's home garden to catch it. While the dog is returned, the owners of the home got mad at Tsuruno and Akira.

Tsuruno apologizes for what she did. Akira says it's alright, and tells Tsuruno she thinks there's someone more suited to be a teacher. The next day she introduces Tsuruno to [[Meiyui Chun]]. Akira claims Meiyui is strong at kenpou. Tsuruno asks to be trained, but Meiyui says she doesn't have enough experience in kung fu. She also says her master would be upset if she taught others. Tsuruno insists she'll do anything. Akira admits she brought Tsuruno to Meiyui because Akira didn't have confidence in herself. Meiyui acquiesces, and brings Tsuruno to a factory.

Introducing Tsuruno to the factory manager, Meiyui says that Tsuruno will work at the factory part time. Tsuruno's job is to carry heavy items. Tsuruno quickly goes to work. Meiyui is surprised by Tsuruno's strength. The factory manager tells Meiyui he's happy she introduced Tsuruno to them. Meiyui thanks the manager for his help, but the manager says they've been indebted to the Soukaihou for a long time. Later on, Tsuruno leaves the factory and is met by [[Yachiyo Nanami]]. Tsuruno bursts into tears.

It turns out that while working at the factory Tsuruno tripped and the parts she was carrying scattered. Everyone told her it was alright, but that made Tsuruno feel worse. Tsuruno says she hasn't accomplished anything, and is terrified she'll lose her restaurant and family. Yachiyo tells her to calm down and relax. She tells Tsuruno to take care of the little things instead of worrying about the big picture. She claims if Tsuruno accomplishes small things she'll likely be rewarded for them.

The next day, Tsuruno returns to Emiri's stand in order to apologize. She's greeted by Akira, who is there with Meiyui. Tsuruno apologizes to them for what happened at the factory, but Meiyui reveals the factory manager wants Tsuruno to come back and help them out again. Akira also says that the owner of the lost dog they found was very happy she got it back, as the dog was practically her only family. Surprised by the praise, Tsuruno accepts Meiyui's offer to help again. Later, Tsuruno tells Yachiyo what happened, and decides the training is a success. She challenges Yachiyo to a fight, but Yachiyo is not interested. Yachiyo says she'll call Momoko's group and runs off. Tsuruno wonders where Rena is.

===Costume Stories===
====Christmas Outfit====
[[Iroha Tamaki]] is out doing some Christmas shopping when she bumps into Tsuruno at the shopping center. She notices that Tsuruno is dressed up in a reindeer outfit complete with antlers. However, her outfit happens to include shorts and a bare midriff, prompting Iroha to ask her if she isn't cold. Tsuruno shakes her head; she replies that her reindeer power is at maximum so she should be fine. Iroha smiles and sees the okamochi that Tsuruno is carrying. Tsuruno says she had to pick up a delivery box and comments that part of a reindeer's job is to make deliveries, although she wonders if she shouldn't be dropping off gifts instead of picking up things instead. Tsuruno gets a long look on her face as she decides to ponder the conundrum. Iroha quickly points out that she's doing some kind of delivery and that's the part that matters. This perks Tsuruno back up and she tells Iroha that her sample Christmas menu has already received tons of orders. 

Iroha smiles politely as she remembers the 10x spicy super red mapo tofu that was part of the menu. Tsuruno also cut up green vegetables into ornaments and came up with an almond tofu Christmas cake. Iroha gets excited at the sound of a cake make of almond tofu, but Tsuruno corrects her and says it's a cake in the ''shape'' of an almond tofu, much to Iroha's disappointment. The next thing on the menu is a Santa Clause appetizer plate, which is various Chinese foods in the shape of Santa's face. Before she can go on, however, Tsuruno let's out a big sneeze. It seems her reindeer power is beginning to give out so she decides to run back into the store for now. She says bye to Iroha as she takes off running indoors. Iroha waves goodbye and then sneezes too. She decides to head home for now before she catches a cold. As it turns out, Banbanzai's Christmas Chinese food ended up being a big hit with all the regulars even though it was just the appetizer plate and the cake that were Christmas themed. Tsuruno vows to make the full Christmas menu a reality one day (but not before she gets over her cold!).

====Swimsuit (2018)====

====New Year's Haregi====

====Winter Outfit====
Tsuruno and [[Iroha Tamaki]] are going out for a walk in the cold winter weather. Tsuruno claims she loves to wear warm winter clothes, although Iroha can clearly recall the chilly reindeer outfit she wore for Christmas. Despite her warm clothing, Tsuruno wants to be even warmer than she is so she asks Iroha to play a naming game with her where they name all sorts of warm things to warm themselves up from the inside with their imagination. Iroha plays along and at first the two of them go back and forth naming normal things, like hot springs and kotatsus. Soon however, Tsuruno gets carried away and begins to call out ridiculous things like running a marathon in the desert while wearing a thick coat. With so many hot things on her mind Tsuruno feels like she’s overheating and takes off her winter outerwear. She ends up in her school uniform but the cold weather makes her sneeze and curse her over-active imagination. She quickly changes back into her warm winter clothing as Iroha shakes her head at her.

==Abilities==
Her ability is worded as 'Good Luck', although it seems to manifest itself more as it being double-sided. The restaurant of her family isn't the best there is and it is stated that it won't get better anytime soon, but it is never out of money since it is cheap and there are a lot of loyal consumers - which Tsuruno easily gets with her extrovert personality. In Mel's side story, she eats something where a laxative was poured in. As a result, she spent the rest of the day in the restroom but if she didn't eat it, the restaurant would get a bad publicity. It can also be said that her {{spoiler|fairly smooth release from Chelation Land is this, and that her corruption was nowhere near as bad as [[Holy Mami]]'s is}}.

Alternatively, her good luck can be said to only occur if it benefits others. When she wished to win the lottery, it was for the benefit of her family's restaurant. When she won rare Dekagon Ball stickers it was for trading with Felicia, and during the New Year's event she was able to win the carnival game because the prize was for her friends. In the case of the indigestion from Mel's prediction, Tsuruno believed her good luck magic would shield her from any ill effects, but because that would have only benefited her, she was still struck by bad luck.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "reason" (由) and "ratio" (比), respectively.
* The characters in her first name mean "crane" (鶴) and "yes" (乃), respectively. However the "yes" (乃) character is often used for girls' names in general.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrators are [[Ume Aoki]] and [https://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=creator&creatorid=46267 Sasagi Koushi].
* She is the first magical girl to gain a Five Star uncap.
* Yui is the third magical girl to have her name in her Witch name (Yuhong), followed by Homura (Homulilly) and Ren (Renata).
* Her Doppel may be named after Yu Hong, a Central Asian who served as a government official in plural Chinese dynasties in the 6th century. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_of_Yu_Hong His sarcophagus] is regarded as an archaeological heritage that illustrates cultural exchange on the Silk Road. This naming might have something to do with how Tsuruno's great-grandfather and grandfather opened a Chinese restaurant in Japan, which she has proud as the great deeds.
