Personal life
Yukawa was born in Tokyo, Japan, to Japanese banker Akihisa Yukawa and English ballet dancer Susanne Bayly. Her father died one month before she was born; he was killed in the crash of Japan Air Lines Flight 123 while travelling from Tokyo to Osaka.[1][2][3][4][5] Yukawa has lived in the United Kingdom since she was 2 months old and began learning the violin when she was 5 years old.[2][6]
Because Diana was born after her father's death, his name was excluded from her British birth certificate until the High Court of England in March 2000 ruled that, under the laws of England and Wales, Diana and her pianist sister Cassie were also in the eyes of the law Akihisa's offspring.[2] The certificate was amended to include the name in June 2009.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
