School Idol Festival ALL STARS. She is a second year of Nijigasaki High School. She is the club's manager and song composer.

Background
Yu is Ayumu Uehara's childhood friend.

Personality
Even though she is supposed to be the player's self-insert, the game gives her a solid personality. Yu is described as insightful, reliable, quick to take action and very caring of the Nijigasaki idols. She is shown to have a deep passion for idols, which inspires her goals and actions in the game.

She is very perceptive about the girls' feelings, and works very hard to be a good leader for them. She is initially shown to have the tendency of self-isolating when working on new songs, pulling all-nighters so she can achieve perfection. After losing to Maki Nishikino in a contest, she started composing with the other members next to her.

Notes & Trivia

 * Prior to the reveal of her name, the character was nicknamed "Anata (あなた)".
 * The meaning of her name (高咲 侑) was given by a fan, who chose the 高 kanji because of Kousaka (高坂) and Takami (高海). 咲 is because she comes from Nijigasaki. 侑 is because "Anata" means "You", which is pronounced like "Yu". It could also mean "To help" which fits Yu's personality and role as the club's manager.
