Some people are just born to end up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
~ Lord and Princess Yuki's description from Goemon's Great Adventure

Princess Yuki (結城姫 Yūki-hime?) is a recurring character in the Ganbare Goemon series. She is one of the rulers of Edo, along with her father, Lord Yuki.

Description[]

Despite both she and her father being the rightful rulers of Edo, they do little that inspires leadership. More often than not, they too are preyed on by evildoers and generally end up on the receiving end of very unfortunate situations, even when they have relatively nothing to do with the current story's events. The lord and princess are described in the instruction booklet for Ganbare Goemon 2: "They are born to be at the wrong place, at the wrong time."

Plot[]

Princess Yuki becomes the central focus in The Legend of the Mystical Ninja (in fact, the Japanese subtitle of this game, Yukihime Kyūshutsu Emaki, literally translates into English as "The Rescue of Princess Yuki"). The princess gets kidnapped by an unknown fiend, with no one knowing where she has been taken to or even the reason why. After being rescued by Goemon and Ebisumaru, Koban, the leader of a clan of ninja cats under service of the Lord of Edo, informs them of the kidnapping and asks them to help them rescue the princess, telling them what little information he knows about her possible whereabouts.

After going through many hardships, the heroes finally get on the right track and discover that the princess is being held prisoner in the kingdom of Ryukyu. After many fierce battles, they finally find and succeed in rescuing Princess Yuki, only for her to be recaptured when they attempt to return her back home, as the dreadful Hannya Shogun reveals himself to have been posing as the Ruler of Edo all this time to allow his criminal organization to conduct all sorts of illegal activities at their leisure without raising any suspicion.

Goemon and Ebisumaru are thrown into a cell of the castle's dungeons, but fortunately, Yae manages to infiltrate the building and frees them from their captivity. The heroes on their part manage to find the real Ruler of Edo held in a nearby cell, who informs them of a secret escape tunnel out from the dungeons. Once outside, the heroes battle the remaining forces of the Hannya Clan army all over the town. They ultimately manage to corner and defeat the Hannya Shogun while he was attempting to escape on the now floating Ryukyu Castle, and rescue Princess Yuki a second time.

Yuki plays a significant role in Ganbare Goemon Pachisuro, notably singing a song during gameplay.
