| − | Yui Uehara | + | Yui Uehara grew up together in a village somewhere in Nagano prefecture. She was close to [[Kansuke Yamato]] and to the popular village policeman Kuroto Kai. Inspired by him, Yui joined the police force in her early twenties. Soon after that, Officer Kai died under mysterious circumstances, prompting Yui (and Yamato, who was also close to Officer Kai and became a policeman following his example) to investigate the case. They were not able to make much progress during the next five years (presumably), until Yamato heard that a thief that Kai had arrested two years before his death broke out of jail. Yamato, believing that the thief had something to do with his death, went after him personally, but he suffered a deadly accident while on the chase, and subsequently went missing. As Yui believed that Yamato was dead, she thought that she must do more to get to the bottom of Officer Kai's death. As a result, she resigned from the police force and married Yoshiro Torada (changing her surname as a result), a man whose family might have had something to do with Officer Kai’s death. Yui did not really love her husband, although his feelings for her were genuine. |
| − | + | Yui spent the next year at the Torada household, but she was not able to gather sufficient information to find the truth, and the story behind Officer Kai's was revealed only when another string of mysterious murders occurred (with her husband winding up as the first victim) and that case was solved. Yui contributed to solving it, and Yamato (who had survived the accident), [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] also were able to figure everything out. | |
| + | |||
| + | Soon after the resolution of the string of murders, and with the urging from Yamato, Yui rejoined the police force, and changed her surname back to “Uehara” (she did feel badly for her husband, however). She is now an assistant police inspector working under Yamato at Nagano’s prefectural police headquarters. | ||

Background
Yui Uehara grew up together in a village somewhere in Nagano prefecture. She was close to Kansuke Yamato and to the popular village policeman Kuroto Kai. Inspired by him, Yui joined the police force in her early twenties. Soon after that, Officer Kai died under mysterious circumstances, prompting Yui (and Yamato, who was also close to Officer Kai and became a policeman following his example) to investigate the case. They were not able to make much progress during the next five years (presumably), until Yamato heard that a thief that Kai had arrested two years before his death broke out of jail. Yamato, believing that the thief had something to do with his death, went after him personally, but he suffered a deadly accident while on the chase, and subsequently went missing. As Yui believed that Yamato was dead, she thought that she must do more to get to the bottom of Officer Kai's death. As a result, she resigned from the police force and married Yoshiro Torada (changing her surname as a result), a man whose family might have had something to do with Officer Kai’s death. Yui did not really love her husband, although his feelings for her were genuine.
Yui spent the next year at the Torada household, but she was not able to gather sufficient information to find the truth, and the story behind Officer Kai's was revealed only when another string of mysterious murders occurred (with her husband winding up as the first victim) and that case was solved. Yui contributed to solving it, and Yamato (who had survived the accident), Conan and Heiji also were able to figure everything out.
Soon after the resolution of the string of murders, and with the urging from Yamato, Yui rejoined the police force, and changed her surname back to “Uehara” (she did feel badly for her husband, however). She is now an assistant police inspector working under Yamato at Nagano’s prefectural police headquarters.
Personality
Yui is a friendly and considerate person, which offsets Yamato's harsh appearance and behavior, complementing the two so different personalities. It is frequently hinted by her behavior that she is in love with him, but his professionalism has as yet prevented any serious personal engagement, although Yamato himself seems not reluctant to it.
Yui, just like Yamato, is very aware of Conan's intelligence, telling Conan about how Yamato believes that he is more intelligent than Kogoro Mouri, sneakily trying to get Conan involved in investigating the crime.[1]
Appellations
Plot overview
Furinkazan Case (Manga: 613-618, Anime: 516-517)
- Yui makes her first appearance in this case. Her husband has just died a few days ago, and her surname is still “Torada”.
- When Yamato calls her “Uehara” and orders her to tell him the time (as he needs to know when exactly they discovered the body), Yui does so without thinking twice, and it is only after she answered that both suddenly realize that she is no longer his subordinate. Yamato apologizes, as Yui says that it is ok.
- Yui, knowing that Kazuha likes Hattori, advises her to not follow her path: Yui waited for too long, and before she was able to confess her feelings he was already gone, resulting in irreversible and immeasurable losses to her.
- Here, Yui is probably regretting over the fact that as she hesitated and did not confess to Yamato in time, he went missing, which (indirectly) drove her to marry Yoshiro Torada, which eventually resulted her current status as a widow.
- Yamato announces that Yui (and six other people, including some from the Torada family) are suspects, and orders them to go home and pray before he makes an arrest. Yui, hearing Yamato’s cold words, says “Kan-chan, you no longer call my name as you did before” with some sorrow on her face.

Yamato, Conan and Heiji, who are anticipating this, are able to save her and Akira Tatsuo and defeat the culprit and her men.
- After the case concludes, Yui tells Yamato why she married Yoshiro Torada, adding that she feels sorry for him. Yamato tells that she should rejoin the police force once she feels ready, and jokes that their superintendent misses the coffee that she makes (despite it being terrible).
Dangerous Couple Case (Manga: 680-681, Anime: 557)
- Yui and Yamato, on their way to Tokyo, encounters Agasa and Ai (they do not know that they know Conan) stranded in the forest of Yamanashi. They offer them a ride to Tokyo, which Agasa and Ai accept gracefully.

Relationships analysis
Yoshiro Torada
Yoshiro had been Yui's husband before he died in a tornado. She married him in order to investigate his family's connections to the death of Kuroto Kai, a police officer that she admired. He loved her, and while this was not reciprocated, Yui does seem to feel bad about her motives for marrying him and his death.
Kansuke Yamato
Kansuke Yamato cares very deeply for his subordinate and childhood friend Yui, although, superficially, this does not seem to be the case at all, due to Yamato's short-tempered and serious personality. Yui cares for him in return and seems to have feeling for him, always affectionately referring to him as "Kan-chan" (he always scolds her for doing so while on duty). In the LOVE PLUS Super Digest Book, it reveals that Yui likes inspector Yamato for his passion and kindness.
Name origin
The two kanjis for the name "Yui" (由衣) is derived from Princess Yu (由布姫 Yū-hime) and Princess Koi (湖衣姫 Koi-hime), the two names used in novels for the daughter of Suwa Yorishige, head of the Suwa clan. Her last name, Uehara, comes from Uehara castle, the main stronghold of the Suwa clan.
