AmiYumi is the femslash ship between Ami Onuki and Yumi Yoshimura from the Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi fandom.

Canon
Ami and Yumi are both main characters from the animated adaptation television series, "Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi". They both share the band of the same name and go on tour together.

During episode 1, Ami is very dedicated to collecting each little animal toy that comes with the Super Rainbow Blast Cereal box, but once Yumi makes her realize that she has all the animals of the collection, except for the bunny, Ami has a panic attack and starts doing the impossible to get the bunny in her collection, even going to the factory where the cereal is made. When none of that is successful, Yumi surprises her by giving her the little bunny she wanted so badly, which deeply touches Ami, especially since Yumi traded her favorite guitar just for Ami's happiness. Once Ami thanks her, hugging her tight, Yumi blushes. Then, on another day, while Yumi and Ami are at a dinner café, Yumi expresses how bored she is, so Ami tells her that she read in a magazine that Yumi should be a ninja. So Yumi goes through an intensive training session to become a ninja. The next day, during the show, Yumi gets extremely protective of Ami, and when Ami tells paparazzi that she doesn't want any more pictures, and they don't stop, Yumi warns them that "the lady said no more pictures." After Ami goes through the same training, just to get Yumi back, they walk back into the sunset together.

During episode 6, an opera singer comes to take Yumi with her to be an opera singer as well. When Ami sees how changed Yumi is, she instantly realizes that she's not the Yumi she knows so well, and that she has been brainwashed. So she devises an entire plan to get Yumi back to her usual self. At the end, Ami manages to save Yumi from her brainwashed-state. And the two of them sing a rock song on stage as they used to.

During episode 8, Yumi catches a terrible allergy fever due to some cheap detergent Kaz bought. But Ami thinks that Yumi is actually allergic to her. So seeing Yumi suffering so much with high fever, Ami starts crying and makes the difficult decision of leaving Yumi "to not cause her any more harm." So after finding out the truth, Yumi decides to go search for Ami and as the both of them hug each other, they promise to never leave each other's side ever again.
