Yuri Sugihara

​Class of: 2022
Major: Industrial & Labor Relations
Hometown: Westchester, NY
Member Since: September 2019
Bio: 
Before Yamatai, Yuri's only experience with drums of any kind was the arcade game "Taiko no Tatsujin", in which she repeatedly lost to her 7 year old cousin (definitely because of some sort of technical malfunction though). Fortunately, real taiko drumming involves lots of yelling, which is something she can definitely get behind. Yuri now feels much more prepared to take on her greatest challenge for whenever she goes back to Japan, but is still gonna need some time to adjust to the Sunday morning practices. She looks forward to being part of the Yamatai family!
Favorite quotes: You've yee'd your last 'haw, Running is a mental sport and we're all insane
​Good at: deflecting the conversation away from her name, smiling and nodding, avoiding public restrooms, getting emotional over crummy lyrics, learning Mandarin for 7 years and forgetting it all in a month, wasting time doing nothing, stressing about doing nothing, then referring back to step 1
Food for thought: The only time the word "incorrectly" isn't spelled incorrectly is when it's spelled incorrectly
