History[]

From her implementation in the March 1st, 2015 Build until the February 8th, 2016 Build, Saki had light cyan eyes and cyan twintails that YandereDev created using the model for Ayano's ponytail in a bigger size.

From February 8th, 2016 Build until the March 1st, 2017 Build, Saki had dark cyan hair with short bangs swept to the right and slightly bent locks framing her face; the rest of her hair was left parted and tied up in twintails that ended in spirals.

In the January 16th, 2017 Build, friendship bracelets were added to the right wrists of the Rainbow Six girls. Saki's is cyan.

From the February 2nd, 2017 Build to the August 18th, 2018 Build, Saki wore cyan stockings and panties.

From March 1st, 2017 Build to the August 18th, 2018 Build, Saki had thick cyan twintails ending in spirals held by two bright cyan bands, short bangs meeting in the middle of her forehead, curled locks framing her face, and a small ahoge at her part.

From the March 18th, 2017 Build to the August 18th, 2018 Build, her eyes were a brighter shade of cyan.

From the August 18th, 2018 Build to the December 3rd, 2018 Build, Saki's hair returned to thinner spiral twintails reminiscent of her 2016-2017 hair; however, her face-framing locks were shortened and curled at the ends, her bangs were brushed straight forward and not parted, and the shade was made slightly more green. A purple Cooking Club kerchief was also added, along with a light pink polka-dotted apron. Her cyan thigh-high stockings, panties, and friendship bracelet were removed.

As of the August 22nd, 2018 Build, Saki's cyan friendship bracelet was restored.

As of the December 2nd, 2018 Build, Saki's apron is a polka-dotted purple that matches her kerchief.

As of the December 3, 2018 Build, Saki's hair has been changed. She had thicker, more textured, spiral ringlets on either sides of her head. Her bangs are straight and blunt, cut neatly to her eyebrows. Her face-framing locks are more layered; her kerchief is also slightly lighter and her facial details were changed to give the appearance of blush and subtle pink lip gloss.

From the January 17, 2019 Build to the February 1st, 2019 Build, Saki's eyes and eyelashes were a noticeably brighter and more vibrant cyan.

As of the February 1st, 2019 Build, Saki's eyes and eyelashes have been reverted to a darker, more subtle, cyan.

As of the March 31st, 2020 Build, her hairstyle was changed again, and it now resembles one of her hair's earlier versions. Her twintails are straight, her bangs become partially side-swept, and plum purple scrunchies now hold her twintails in place. Her facial details have also been reduced somewhat.

As of the September 16th, 2020 Build, Saki's hair has changed once again.

As of April 2nd, 2021, Saki's new hair texture was recolored to have a green tint. Since it got negative feedback from fans, it was recolored again as of June 1st 2021, but still had the green tint. Finally, as of June 16th, 2021, her hair color was reverted to the one from the September 16th, 2020 Build, but with a different eye texture.

As of the December 15, 2022 build, she now has cyan socks.

Default[]

At 7:05 AM, Saki enters the school grounds with the other members of the Cooking Club. She walks to her locker at 7:10 AM and changes from her outdoor shoes to her indoor shoes. At 7:15 AM, she walks to the Cooking Club and prepares food with the rest of the members there. She then travels around the school to give the food to various students.

At 8:00 AM, Saki walks into Classroom 1-1 and sits at her desk. She starts her morning classes at 8:30 AM, then leaves the classroom at 1:00 PM to eat lunch with the Cooking Club.

Saki walks back to class again at 1:30 PM and participates in cleaning time between 3:30 PM and 4:00 PM. Afterward, she heads to the Cooking Club and stays there until the end of the day. If Ayano joins in club activities, she will prepare a meal from 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM.

If the Cooking Club is disbanded, Saki will socialize with the other former members in the Home Ec Room during periods in which she would normally attend it.

Week 1[]

As of the March 22nd, 2021 build, Saki spends her time conversing with Kokona during the first week in the Story Mode. At 7:00 AM, she runs to her locker and changes her shoes, then quickly runs outside the school gates, where she will converse with Kokona. At 7:09 AM, she and Kokona will move to the rooftop near the "secret place". They continue conversing until 8:00 AM.

At the lunch time, Saki and Kokona run to another area of the rooftop, the same area where Senpai and Osana eat their bento. They continue conversing here until 1:22 PM. If Osana is poisoned, Saki and Kokona will witness her death, but if Ayano somehow increases her stealth (i.e. by wearing Stealthy Black panties), they won't notice Osana's corpse unless Ayano moves it too close to them.

At 3:30 PM, Saki and Kokona return to the rooftop (near the "secret place") and continue their conversation until 5:00 PM. Afterwards Saki runs to the Cooking Club to participate in club activities with Ajia.

If Osana is removed from Akademi before Friday, Saki will return to her default routine next day. However, she and Kokona will continue conversing on the rooftop during the lunchtime.

Amai Challenge (Old)[]

During Week 2, Saki will stand in the plaza with her fellow Cooking Club members and Amai, conversing with Ajia Ashitomi.

Task[]

Main Article: Tasks

Saki's task is to find her bra. Her bra is sitting near the Confession Tree against the fence. Once the player collects and brings it back to her, Saki will be very happy and will become Ayano's friend.

Background[]

Due to Kokona's family debt, Saki tried to help them make money. She attempted to sell her underwear to boys. At one point, she tried to sell her bra, but could not go through with it and threw it over the fence, which is why the player has to retrieve it for her in order to complete her task.

Relationships[]

Kokona Haruka[]

According to her Student Profile, Saki Miyu is Kokona Haruka's best friend and closest confidant. Saki will attack Ayano if Kokona is murdered in front of her. The same goes for Saki being murdered in front of Kokona. Still, they have very weak self-defense, so the player can easily beat them in a struggle minigame. She will also react negatively when Ayano gossips about Kokona.

Kizana Sunobu[]

Saki once used a "drill twintails" hairstyle. This angered Kizana, president of the Drama Club, who didn't want anyone at school to have hair more spectacular than hers.^[3]
