I have never seen that "Winter's Tale" before, though the source image from that has been posted before. But I will agree, that Yuki does get some pretty beautiful artwork. That one in particular is indeed one of my favorites.

I know and her name doesn't even mean snow

Though, I guess it makes sense since snow and silence go together.

I'm confused now.. I forgot which are which..

Yuki = Snow?
Nagato = Silence?

I tried looking it up. I know for sure that "Yuki" means "Snow" and double-checked it to make sure...

Interestingly, "Nagato" shares the same name as a prominent Imperial Japanese battleship, and its kanji also means somewhere along the lines of "leader" and "gate," oddly enough. So... "Leader's Gate" or "Leader's Gateway"? Something like that. At least, that's what I've been able to find out... I'm by no means an expert on kanji and certain Japanese names.

Not the way Nagato spells it. 雪 is snow, whereas Yuki spells her name as 有希.

Othello~ · 2010-08-25, 17:21

I remember it being Yuki = hope and as you said Nagato = leader "ship"

besieger · 2010-08-26, 06:37

Nagato is actually an old Japanese province, and a WWII era battleship is named after it, which, in turn, is probably where her name came from.

Yeah, I always wondered whereas it was intentional or not... as the Nagato was of the few Japanese warships to survive the war, and the largest one in that very short list.

(And, being a EVE Online capsuleer, I christened my first Battleship as the "Nagato Yuki")

Mr. Wang · 2010-08-26, 17:13

Interestingly, Yuki Nagato might be also be a pun off of Rei Ayanami's name from Evangelion. The Nagato and the Ayanami are both Japanese battleships, and Yuki means "Snow" (though, her spelling is different from that) and Rei means "Ice"... I wouldn't be surprised if that's where Yuki's name came from in the first place.

Ayanami was no Battleship. She was a Destroyer. One of the smaller ocean going warships in the Japanese Navy. She did not survive the war. She was sunk in 1942.

Mr. Wang · 2010-08-26, 19:28

Bah, technicalities...

This is what I get for choosing a seemingly harmless, yet poor choice of words. They were both warships in the Imperial Japanese Navy then. How's that? In any case, Rei Ayanami and Yuki Nagato's names make quite the coincidence, wouldn't you say? At least that's where I'd think Yuki's name came from...
However, I think that this discussion regarding Yuki's name's origins has gone on long enough.

Let's get back to images, shall we?

Here's some random Yuki...

Spoiler for Yuki, Alt Yuki, and Yuki-chan:

Spoiler for Yuki is a Guitar Hero:

Spoiler for Yuki likes those bunny headsets, doesn't she?:

Spoiler for Metal Gear Yuki:

Spoiler for Yuki in a Kimono:

Spoiler for Slightly NSFW:

That should get us all back on track here... Sorry, I tried looking for original images that haven't been posted, but chances are, all of these images probably popped up at one moment or another...

I really thought she had (a version of) you-know-who's bass for a moment there.

Well, aside from whatever, it's nice to see Yuki wearing other kinds of glasses for a change.

This made me laugh, mainly because it was photoshoped by Brian Lee O'mally, the guy who wrote scott pilgrim.

I tried my hand at coloring but I think I failed.

1. Actually, someone else made the image as part of a contest, the top pieces of which were posted to the flickr stream.
2. That's not how you link to/embed Flickr images.

Because I know people will ask for them from the BD Box, here's the 6 title cards from the Haruhi-chan VN opening. I'm thumbnailing these due to the size.

These look very familiar.... Is this from the VN that the company "Sega" was making?
