As of episode 8 of Koufuku Graffiti, there's been at least one shot per
episode in which Ryou's downstairs neighbor is briefly shown (usually standing
on her balcony folding clothes or something).

Is she ever going to be introduced as a character, or is she more just a
running joke?

koufuku-graffiti
Are we ever going to be introduced to Ryou's downstairs neighbor?


As mentioned by
[krazer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/users/63/%ca%9e%c9%b9%c9%90z%c7%9d%c9%b9)
in the comment, she is Yuki Uchiki. She is finally introduced in episode 10
_Chewy, Melty._ (Japanese title: _Hamohamo, Michichi._ ) when Kirin
eavesdropped on her phone conversation and accidentally fell (and safely
landed) on her veranda.

In the anime, episode 10 happened around January (as the next episode happened
in February, and the previous episode happened on New Year's Eve). At this
time, Yuki was a graduating undergraduate student, while Ryou and Kirin were
preparing for their high school entrance exam in March. According to [her wiki
page](http://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/%E5%86%85%E6%9C%A8%E3%83%A6%E3%82%AD) on
nicovideo, she is going to work as a librarian at the same high school where
Ryou and Kirin goes to.
