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 a fair skinned young woman with above average height, whilst also 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 is only seen wearing the standard female school uniform.

Personality
She is shown as a serious and mature girl who doesn't 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 Sakakibara or Izumi Akakzawa'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.

Etymology

 * The name Kazue means "harmony, peace" (和) (kazu), and "branch" (枝) (e)
