Kazue Satou

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

Appearance
She has grey eyes and wears her dark brown hair tied up in a ponytail, similar to Ritsuko's hairstyle. Kazue wears the school standard female uniform and is the tallest girl in her class.

Personality
Kazue is a quiet, calm, and collected student. She is good friends with 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.
