Yurie Kimisawa (君沢 ユリエ (きみさわ ゆりえ) Kimisawa Yurie) is the directress of the Kimisawa Brand.
Appearance[]
History[]
In the middle of the story, she is shot by a frenzied Masumi and seriously injured.
She had a fire in Paris 15 years ago, and maybe she was traumatized at that time, so she always has a habit of sitting near the emergency exit at her parties.
Fortunately, Masumi's gunshot wounds didn't appear to be that heavy, and she attended Kindaichi's deduction without showing any particular signs of ill health. She has been keeping an eye on Naoko since she was just starting out, but she happens to witness the scene where she is about to carry out the corpse of Akio whom she killed.
After learning about the situation, Yurie abandons Akio's corpse with Naoko, but Inukai sees the scene and is threatened. So, she put Inukai in the position of vice president, and even said that he would hand over all of "Kimisawa", which was a painful choice to keep him under his supervision and protect Naoko.
The day after the fashion show, he planned to announce at a press conference that he would hand over the support of Mitsutomo, which Kimisawa would receive, to the new brand Loisau.
This "Loiseau" is a word that means "bird" in French, and in anticipation of Inukai expelling Naoko, "Kimisawa" was the last gift that Yurie prepared for Naoko, who became independent. Her plan to help her Naoko by throwing away her own brand will ironically be ruined for her Naoko herself in one more day.
Nevertheless, Yurie, who continued to think of her, told her that she would leave Loiseau alone until she returned after atonement for her sins, and she hugged the crying Naoko. She want her to take care not only of Naoko but also of Masumi after her release from prison.
It should be noted that she may have killed a man when she was young (Masumi, Naoko and Kindaichi speculated that they were the same, so to speak, "spiritual triplets"?), but since the story was more than 30 years old, it was not pursued any further. On the other hand, there is no mention of helping Naoko abandon her corpse nine years ago. (The statute of limitations for abandoning a corpse is three years.)
However, when it comes to "Inukai knows about Naoko killing Akio," it can only be assumed that Yurie, the only person who knew about it, said it. Also, if Inukai is made president, Naoko, who is on bad terms, will definitely be kicked out. Furthermore, Torimaru was told by Inukai, " If I become the president, I will be expelled ." At this point, regardless of Yurie's true intentions, I think it was inevitable that
Naoko would think that she was betrayed by Yurie . At the very least, if she had told Naoko that she was being threatened by Inukai, this incident might not have happened. It can be said that Yurie's plan, which was secretly carried out to protect her girlfriend, conversely cornered her and made her commit atrocities.
Personality[]
She is strict when it comes to her work, but at the same time she has a warm side, so she is trusted by her subordinates. However, according to Kagitani, "her fashion sense is already old-fashioned", which suggest she used to produce good quality clothes but her skills worsening over time.

Etymology[]
- Yurie's surname Kimisawa means "lord, noble" (君) (kimi) and "marsh" (沢) (sawa).
