"With courage, you can overcome any hardship. Tired sayings like that don't provide much comfort in reality. All I could do was sit quietly and be thankful for my own, sad life..."

Yoko Suzuki is a former Umbrella employee and a survivor of the Raccoon City Destruction Incident. A "self-proclaimed" university student with good computer knowledge, Yoko has a quiet, reserved personality, but the strength of her inquisitive mind emerges with a surprising toughness, making up for her absentmindedness brought on by thinking too much analytically.[3][excerpt 1]

Over time, Yoko became a burden to the staff, with fellow employee Monica describing how she got scared and ran away.[9] Dr. Greg Mueller operating on her to wipe her memory of working at the facility.[10] It is possible, however, that Yoko continued to work for the company in a more legitimate capacity, as she continued to wear an employee uniform for two years.[11]
