.hack//Liminality
Yuki was contacted by Junichiro Tokuoka some time after he met with Mai. When she learned that it would take him extra time to meet her she decided to spend some time at the Y-Port World Center and watch a movie. It was there that she experienced first-hand the impact of The World's breakdown when Yokohama suddenly lost all forms of communication and its systems shut down. She was trapped in the center until she was helped by Kaoru Asaba, an office lady working in the top floor of the center and a friend of her sister.

Yuki's only real usefulness as a member of Tokuoka's team is her connection with Kyoko Tohno, although she did help in slowing down the guards that pursued them.

.hack//Another Birth
During the Minato Mirai 21 disaster, Akira Hayami's father catches a glimpse of Yuki and Junichiro Tokuoka talking on their cellphones. He mistakenly assumes that Yuki is Tokuoka's daughter.
