Taeko Yamada is a female counterpart of Taro Yamada, an Akademi student and Ayano Aishi's obsession, which makes her of the main characters of Yandere Simulator.
Currently, the option to choose her as the female Senpai is not available and does not appear in the game. YandereDev states that it will be available sometime during the game's development. If not, the Senpai Gender selection screen will be removed.
Appearance (Default)
Similarly to Taro Yamada, Taeko, with her default look, will have light skin, light charcoal eyes, and straight mid-back length black hair. She is meant to represent a generic high school girl.
She will wear the default uniform unless customized by the player.
She will be customizable when she is implemented. The player will likely be able to change her skin tone, accessories, hairstyle, and uniform.
Description
| “ | The Japanese word 'senpai' refers to someone who has seniority over someone else. For example, if you are a first-year student, all second-year and third-year students are your 'senpai'. If you start working at a new job, any co-worker who has been employed at the workplace longer than you is your 'senpai'.
In Yandere Simulator, the title of 'Senpai' is given to the young man (or young woman) that the protagonist is infatuated with. The player is given the option of choosing Senpai's gender at the beginning of the game; they might be 'Senpai-kun', or they might be 'Senpai-chan'. If Senpai is a male, his name is Taro Yamada, and if she is a female, her name is Taeko Yamada. Over the course of the school year, ten different girls will fall in love with Senpai. There is a myth at school that if a girl confesses her love to a boy under the cherry tree behind the school on a Friday, the two of them will love each other forever. Every girl who falls in love with Senpai plans to confess at 6:00 PM on Friday. If there is anyone who wants to keep Senpai all to herself, she has until 6:00 PM on Friday to eliminate the competition. |

Similarly to Taro Yamada, Taeko will be portrayed as kind and considerate, but ultimately, a "generic student with no outstanding qualities."
In the future, Taeko will most likely follow the same routine as Taro Yamada.
Trivia
- The name ”Taeko” is literally written タエコ, but in kanji, such as 多恵子, it can mean "many blessing child". However, there are several other kanji for this name, like 妙子, which means "strange child".
- If the player chooses a female Senpai, the rivals' genders will not change, however the option to play as Ayato Aishi could happen in the future.
- This will make her the second of the only two confirmed LGBTQ+ characters in the game aside Ayano Aishi. She is bisexual, as you may be either a male or female yandere and choose her as a senpai.
- Jokichi Yudasei would be disapproving of the lesbian relationship at first, but would be happy because it would most likely mean that the Aishi bloodline will end. However, Ayano and Taeko would still manage to have children somehow, most likely through adoption.[citation needed]
