and video games that they talked about.
Yukimura applied for the Japan Narration Actor Institute during her third year of junior high school, and started taking classes there after entering high school. She chose to take classes there as classes were only once a week and would thus not interfere with her studies. She noted that she was the youngest in her class and felt nervous as there was even a trainee who was fifteen years older than her. As her training progressed, she had doubts on whether to continue pursuing a career in voice acting. She decided to continue pursuing voice acting partly as a result of the death of her grandmother, who had been opposed to her becoming a voice actress; Yukimura noted that she wanted to prove her grandmother that her decision to continue this path was right.
After passing an audition, she became affiliated with the talent agency VIMS.
The year after starting her career, Yukimura was cast in her first main role as Emma in the
