Yukiko Samuri passed away on July 11th, at 11:58 pm, 2009 after giving birth to Akito Samuri, 7lb 4oz. Akito was born a healthy young boy. Yukiko's funeral will take place on July 30th, in Osaka. She will be cremated and her ashes will be laid to rest in a pond behind the Samuri Head House. Yukiko's final wishes were that her son be taken care of by her closest friend, Makino Kurosaki.

Yukiko Samuri was a happy young woman who always put others before herself. Yukiko was diagnosed with a fatal heart disease, but even through that, she stayed strong, and always held a smile on her face. My happiest memories with her are simply at home, hanging out. She was always able to make our time together happy and fun. You know, I think my funnies memory of Yuki, was when we went to disney land a long time ago. She saw mikey mouse and yelled "OHMYGAWD. ITS MIKEY MOUSE! OH MY GOD! I DIDNT KNOW HE WAS REAL!" she was 19 at that time.

I know that I will miss her deeply, her son will miss her, her family and friends, and i hope all of you will miss her too. It was an honor to be able to be by Yuki's side on her deathbed. And it will be an honor to celebrate her life at her funeral.

Sadly, I am unable to write anymore. Right now, its just too painful. Please, leave your thoughts, your feelings. And please never forget Yukiko.

-Makino Kurosaki.
