Kazue Satou

 Kazue Satou  (佐藤 和枝 Satou Kazue) is a student of 9 Grade Class 3 in 1998. She sits in front of Mei Misaki in the classroom.

Appearance
Kazue is an attractive girl, with a white complexion and above average height, while being the tallest girl in the class at the same time. She has gray eyes and dark brown hair which is tied up with a ponytail, in turn with two strands on the sides and a fringe.

She has only been seen wearing the standard female school uniform.

Personality
She is shown as a serious and mature girl who does not smile much, but despite that she is always friendly with her friends San Watanabae and Haruka Etou.

Plot
Kazue wasn't a major fixture of class 3-3, and was very briefly involved with either Kouichi or Izumi's groups. She was present for Mr. Kubodera's suicide and was one of the students who fled the room thereafter.

After the intensely traumatic event, it's likely her parents simply removed her from the class, as she didn't attend the class trip and wasn't among the survivors who gathered at the hospital. Her current status is unknown, though it's extremely likely she survived the curse.
