Yaku Yakuzen (薬膳 ヤク)Age: 89Birthday: August 9th (Leo) She is the grandmother of Yakuzen Kusuri. Yaku comes off as a calmer and more mature version of Kusuri. She tends to act rather grandmotherly towards the others and seems to enjoy the youthful antics of the younger members of the family. She also is rather coy and tends to tease Rentarou. After eating an imperfect prototype of the immortality drug that Kusuri made Yaku gained a similar young appearance to her granddaughter, but due to the strength of the prototype, her appearance is not reverted by the neutralization drug. Yaku seems to have been born in the early 20th century (though there are references that make her sound older). Yaku's interest in the making of drugs and medical treatments seem to go back to World War II where she appears to have treated Imperial Japanese soldiers. During this time, she met her husband, though she coyly refuses to go into detail. As a member of the Yakuzen household, Yaku is very good with drugs, and has a ton of knowledge of craft medicine and botany. She has been seen to have a lot of agility. Also, due to her older age, she has a great deal of traditional knowledge. Yaku is also technologically illiterate and easily confused by modern technology. She refers to smartphones as planks, and buttons as peony flowers. She also seems to be afraid of cars. Like her granddaughter, she ends her sentences with "-nanoja", a more antiquated version. Name/Birthday Pun Explanation: Yakuzen (薬膳) literally translates to "medicinal cooking." Yaku is written in Katakana (ヤク), thus she does not have a direct name translation. However, Yaku is the Onyomi reading for the kanji 薬, like in her surname. Yaku, when written utilizing the Goroawase wordplay system, can be written with the numbers 8 (Hachi/Ya) and 9 (Kyuu/Ku), which is her true age. This is also represented in her birthday of August 9th. (Source: 100Kanojo Wiki) Voice Actors No voice actors have been added to this character.
