History[]
"Girl Meets Deer"[]
Ms. Ukai introduces a new student to Torako's class, revealing to be the deer girl whom Torako saved from before, Noko Shikanoko. Unlike Torako, Ms. Ukai and the rest of the class don't seem to see anything out of the ordinary with the transferee, making Torako question her own sanity.
From that point onward, Ms. Ukai becomes one of the many people who encourage Noko's antics. Some time later, she promises Noko that if the latter could clean up the abandoned school warehouse, she could use it for whatever she wanted it for.
After the cleaning is finished, Ms. Ukai stops by and reveals that Noko wanted to turn it into the clubhouse for her own made up school club, the Deer Club. As Noko fills up the paperwork, this makes Ms. Ukai the club advisor, as she assigns Torako as its president.
"Deer Meets Dark Girl"[]
Ms. Ukai is the honorary host for the trivia game between Noko and Anko to see who knows Torako best. As a result, she also contributed in airing out Torako's dirty laundry much to the honor student's horror.
"Bashame Enrolls"[]
Like the rest of the student body and faculty, Ms. Ukai is present (although not prominently shown) during the freshmen orientation in the second segment of the episode.
After Bashame explains to Torako and Noko why she was sleeping on the Deer Club's doorstep, she tells them Ms. Ukai sent her there when the latter asked for Noko's whereabouts.
"Grab Her Weakness!"[]
Ms. Ukai is indirectly mentioned by Noko during the last segment of the episode when Anko impatiently asks why Torako has yet to come to the club that day, explaining how Torako was asked by Ms. Ukai to run an errand.
"DeerColle, Streaming, Hospitality, etc."[]
After introducing what DeerColle is to Torako, Anko and Bashame adds on, saying how they already told Ms. Ukai on Torako's behalf how they signed her up as Noko's "owner" for that year's DeerColle.
During practice for the next few days, Ms. Ukai accidentally walks in on Torako, who, at that point, got too engrossed in the practice, excuses herself out, catching Torako in an embarrassing moment.
In the streaming segment, she is the one to suggest to Torako to livestream the activities of the Deer Club to MyTube to try and gain more traction.
"Goodbye Old Deer, Hello New Deer"[]
Ms. Ukai makes a cameo appearance as a zookeeper at the Hino Zoo in the Game of Deer Life board game the members of the Deer Club were playing in the second segment of the episode.
