"Scared... you mean, scared of me?"

- Hazumi replying to Sou in their discussion about Class 3's behavior towards her.

Yuika Hazumi is a female supporting character in Another 2001. She is a member of Class 3 alongside Sou. Both Hazumi and Sou are selected as non-exister students.

Background
Hazumi is a 15-year-old girl. She has an elder brother who is 5 years older than her. Her brother graduated school in 2000, the year before, and has started law school at a university in Tokyo.

Appearance
Hazumi has long dark hair with a brownish-tint that is chest-length. She is the same height as Sou. She is acknowledged by several characters as being beautiful.

Personality
Hazumi is described as being mature for her age. She is a caring individual. However, she sometimes becomes emotional and makes rash decisions, such as when she intentionally picked the joker card to become the second non-exister so she could be with Sou. She becomes very distressed when her classmates begin avoiding and demeaning her partway in the year and announces she is done with being a non-exister.

Sou Hiratsuka
Hazumi and Sou were in the same class in the first year of junior high school, but not in the second. They became classmates again for their third year when they are in Class 3 together. She tells Sou that his personality resembles her brother's and how she noticed how Sou has been withdrawn and aloof for the last few years. Sou is initially unaware of Hazumi's feelings towards him, and often treats her coldly in spite of Hazumi's attempts to get to know him better. Hazumi later admits that she chose to be a non-existing student in order to be with Sou, and that she felt more reassured that they were in the same situation together. She becomes jealous of how much time Sou spends with Izumi. Hazumi eventually becomes distant to Sou after renouncing her status as a non-exister due to the overwhelming treatment and isolation she received from her classmates.
