History
In her youth, Yoko was the leader of a biker gang, the Maiami Queens, as "Shooting Star Yoko". At one point, one of her teammates was held hostage by a member of a rival gang. Yusho Sakaki stepped in and saved her. Yoko was touched by Yusho's ability to end fights peacefully without violence and developed feelings for Yusho. The two of them eventually got married and had a son, Yuya Sakaki, together.

When Yusho did not show up for his Duel against Strong Ishijima, Yuya ran to the bottom of the stands and challenged Ishijima to a Duel in his father's stead. Yoko pulled Yuya away as he continued to protest.

Yoko showed up during Yuya's Duel against Strong Ishijima. She told Shuzo Hiragi, Yuzu Hiragi and Gong about Yuya's behavior: he had acted like a clown to cope with Yusho's disappearance and reinvented himself while Dueling. She watched the rest of the Duel with the three, and was proud of her son when he won.

Yoko eventually invited Sora Shiun'in to stay at the Sakaki residence, to Yuya's annoyance. She prepared breakfast for the two boys, but she was taken in by Sora's cuteness after he called her Yuya's older sister rather than his mother, causing her to give Yuya's food to him.
