Kozue Makihara (槇原 こずえまきはら こずえ, Makihara Kozue), also known as Makkii-senhai, is a supporting character in the series. She is the president of the Tabletop Gaming Club.

Appearance

Kozue has neck-length black hair that has square bangs covering her eyebrows, grey eyes, a very bland expression most of the time and she has a quite small figure.

Personality

Kozue also has a somewhat sadistic sense of humor, as shown by her cheerfully torturing Miko Iino while gathering audio for their class' event during the culture festival.

She is shown to be very intelligent, regularly ranking among the top ten students in the freshman class during the end of semester exams. Her emotional intelligence is almost peak human level, which used to isolate her until she joined the Tabletop Gaming Club.

History

Kozue is a second-year student that studies at Shuchi'in Academy, and she is the president of the Tabletop Gaming Club, and she's friends with Chika Fujiwara and Terashima.

Etymology

• The name Kozue means "treetop" (こずえ) in Hiragana.
  • However, when written in kanji (梢, 梢恵, 梢絵, 梢江, 梢枝), it could possibly mean:
    • 梢 - "treetops/tree top".
    • 梢恵 - "treetops/tree top" (梢) (kozu) and "favor, benefit" (恵) (e).
    • 梢絵 - "treetops/tree top" (梢) (kozu) and "picture, painting" (絵) (e).
    • 梢江 - "treetops/tree top" (梢) (kozu) and "bay, inlet" (江) (e).
    • 梢枝 - "treetops/tree top" (梢) (kozu) and "branch" (枝) (e).
• Kozue's surname Makihara means "twig, Chinese black pine" (槇) (maki) and "field, plain" (原) (hara).

Relationships

Tabletop Gaming Club

Tabletop Gaming Club is composed of Terashima, Chika Fujiwara and Kozue Makihara. They are implied to be very good friends, but only Fujiwara is a main character so this relationship is not often displayed.

The club is infamous as troublemakers when the three girls act together.

Miko Iino

The test subject she used for the recording of binaural audio haunted house for the culture festival. It is later revealed that, due to her high emotional intelligence, Kozue Makihara is aware of Miko's crush on Yu Ishigami.

Trivia

• The "pai" in her honorific "senpai" was taken away as punishment for losing a game.

• Kozue is in the same class with Miko when they are juniors, it can be deduced that she is in class 2-A.
