Yuki Kure was born on December 4, in Chiba Prefecture. According to an interview with Hakusensha, she previously studied the piano, which she feels is refreshing. She has stated that she wanted to play other musical instruments including the cello, bassoon and tuba.
She has mentioned that she finds it very difficult to draw Tsukimori from Kin'iro no Corda, but very easy to draw Hihara and young girls. She also likes to watch soccer matches and collect merchandise.
Reiko Shimizu, Natsumi Itsuki, Kyōko Hikawa and other LaLa manga artists are her influences when she is drawing manga.
