Early life and career

Yuikawa, a native of Tokyo, was born on 15 February and educated at the Japan Narration Actor Institute [ja]. She joined I'm Enterprise on 1 April 2022.

In March 2023, she was cast as Hōjō Tokiyuki, the main protagonist of the anime television series The Elusive Samurai. At the time, she was a newcomer to the agency and did not even have her own image on their website, and she was unaware of her new role until she learned about it in a voice actors' interview project. In August 2023, she appeared at Aniplex Online Fest.

In November 2023, it was announced she would star as Mutsumi Sugimoto in Tonari no Yōkai-san. She later starred in her first cinematic leading role as Yū Azuma in the 2024 film adaptation of Trapezium, and she and the rest of the cast performed the ending theme "Hōi Jishin". Author Kazumi Takayama intuitively noticed Yuikawa from the moment she entered the audition studio, and when she spoke her lines, she was convinced that "Azuma is Yuikawa-san", later recalling that every staff member present had the same belief.

Her hobbies are music and games, and her special skill is futsal. She has a Grade 2 certificate in Kanji Kentei.
