Yoimiya, like the rest of her family, is loved by the people of Inazuma City for the fireworks she creates. She is also loved by children due to her friendly hands-on approach with them, as she wishes to keep them happy so they don’t have to deal with the harsh realities of Inazuma for the time being. Having very few worries of her own, she can also read peoples’ hearts and can tell whether or not they’re hiding something deep down.
Like her father, Yoimiya is devoted to the family business, stating that her customers’ happiness is the first priority above all else. This service has amassed a massive and loyal customer base who are willing to help her out on any problems she has. She is somewhat of a fast speaker, and despite being the primary provider of fireworks, is also known to be quite reckless and unprepared, having been scolded by the city’s fire brigade numerous times and noted by Amenoma Tougo to always make last-minute preparations.
Like many other Vision bearers, Yoimiya enjoys her Pyro Vision, as it helps her out with the business and she couldn’t imagine a life without one. While not supportive of the Vision Hunt Decree, she still worships Ei.
To Inazumans, fireworks symbolize summer.
The various festivals that take place at fixed times feature a rotation of various events, with fireworks being the sole constant. Over a century ago, the Yashiro Commission once organized a dazzling fireworks display with “commemoration” as the theme.
The fireworks then were made by the greatest pyrotechnicians in the land, and this was the origin of the Naganohara Fireworks Show. In latter days, fireworks would become more common, and the Naganohara Fireworks Show would slowly become an event in which all people would participate.
During the Fireworks Show, everyone can light their favorite fireworks, and the owner of the Naganohara Fireworks store will pick an appropriate time to set up a most lavish performance. The year Yoimiya took over, her first fiesta was already jaw-droppingly good.
On the night before that Fireworks Show, Kamisato Ayaka enjoined Yoimiya thusly: “Her Excellency will be watching this fireworks display personally. As such, please add Her Excellency’s emblem — the Electro Mitsudomoe — into the fireworks repertoire, if you would.”
“Haha, just wait for it!” Yoimiya replied, agreeing with great confidence.
Before the show could begin, Yoimiya ran all about the city, placing thousands of launch tubes in every nook and cranny. At the festival’s finale, the blazing fireworks formed a gigantic picture scroll that depicted the city of Inazuma in the skies. Yet Ayaka did not find the critical emblem in any one of these fireworks, and wondered if Yoimiya had made an error in her arrangements.
It was only after speaking with Yoimiya that Ayaka discovered that the image of Inazuma in the skies had an “angling” trick added to it. If viewed from the Tenshukaku, the fireworks would form a huge, clear, and orderly image of the Raiden Shogun’s house-crest — with some playfully lacy decorations on the side to boot.
Of course, how could Yoimiya miss a beat at a fireworks performance? This way, she won the praise of both the people and the Raiden Shogun, and this feast would become a timeless classic deeply rooted in the memories of countless people.
With Yoimiya around, the Inazuman summer shall not lack any glorious fireworks — thus was her nickname, “Queen of the Summer Festival,” coined.
