A player, 4 October 2008

Question,

If I have a Yukari no Onna and my opponent uses a Knowledge on her and his own personality, do both personalities go home?

thanks, Evan

If I have a Yukari no Onna and my opponent uses a Knowledge on her and his own personality, do both personalities go home?

Probably not.

Yukari no Onna says, "Other players' actions" -- i.e., Knowledge -- "can not move their own units" -- i.e., the player using Knowledge" -- "to or from Yukari no Onna's battlefield" -- and here's why I have to say probably, because there is an exception -- "unless they own a Winter or Snow Maiden card in play or in a discard pile."

If this is a question of "Is either of two movement effects dependent on the other?", they are not. See http://rules.l5r.com/FAQ#If_one_effect_ ... _happen.3F
