Kazahana Koyuki (風花小雪) is a famous young adult movie star actress, primarily known for playing the role of Princess Fu (フーウン姫)
. She is the sole child of Kazahana Sosetsu, who is the former daimyo of the Land of Snow. As an movie actress, she is known under the fake name Fujikaze Yukie (富士風雪絵).
Background
Her birthday is a complete mystery. As a young child, she was raised by her father. However her mother was never seen or mentioned at all. Her father would always tell her stories about the wonders of "spring", a season that did not exist in the perpetual wintered Land of Snow. Therefore she would happily await for her father's project in bringing spring to the land, and she was given a key for that "treasure". However, her paternal uncle, Kazahana Doto, had angrily killed her father for his treasure, thus leaving Koyuki as an orphan, and also emotionally scarred for the next ten years of her young adult life. During the massacre of her homeland, she was rescued by Hatake Kakashi, who was an Anbu at the time. Ever since then, she changed her name and appearance to Fujikaze Yukie, and she eventually became a young famous movie star actress instead with a cold melancholic personality whose other emotions are merely seen as "an act".
Personality
At first, she appeared to be very cruel and mean to people she meets as seen when a group of young children happily just asked for her autograph. She even angrily scolded the young children in which shocked them and Naruto. She also was antisocial as she refused to talk to Naruto. She even has a fear of dying by saying that she should have die the night her father was kill. But during the movie, she started to show a kinder and more warmer nature after Naruto kept protecting her. Due to being emotionally scarred her whole life, she was cold and melancholic, with other emotions being merely "an act"; she eventually regained her true emotions when she met Uzumaki Naruto. When she becomes the leader of her homeland, she decides that the land of snow will have snow during the winter season. Also she still takes on the challenge of being an actress, while ruling her homeland. Koyuki also signs autographs now when she interacts with children, ironically she even give Naruto an autograph in which freaked him, and his whole team out when Sasuke was holding it.

After escaping from prison, Koyuki gives Dotō her necklace and attempts to stab him. She is then kidnapped by Dotō, as he discovers the treasure is a generator to change the Land of Snow into the Land of Spring.
