Yuki Mori
Yuki Mori (雪 森) : initially Dr. Sado’s nurse, Yuki gained the additional responsibilities aboard Yamato of operating the radar, performing computer calculations, taking care of the crew’s morale and searching planets for food sources.In “Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato: In the Name of Love” Yuki died from the results of her injuries when earlier she was shot by a member of the White Comet Empire on Desler’s ship. Her Japanese name means “forest snow”, creator Matsumoto being fond of female characters with “Yuki” (snow) as part of their name. Her family name may come from Oda Nobunaga’s favorite page, Mori Ranmaru.

Cutey Honey Theme song
The Cutie Honey opening theme, which appears throughout all of the Honey anime and live-action versions, is known for its lyrics by Krōdo Q (クロードＱ, Krōdo Q?)[8][39] describing Honey and her body.[40][41] In the original 1973 television series, it was performed by Yoko Maekawa.[8] In Cutie Honey Flash, it is performed by SALIA. In the New Cutie Honey OVA, the original song is performed by les-5-4-3-2-1, and the English language version by mayukiss. Kumi Koda performed it for the Re: Cutie Honey OVA and its live-action adaptation. In Cutie Honey The Live, the theme is sung by Minami Kuribayashi as part of Wild 3-Nin Musume. The only other anime theme songs to have been used so consistently are Theme of Lupin III, which has been used continuously on Lupin III animated features since the 70s, and the GeGeGe no Kitaro theme song, used since the 60s.
