Kyouko Inaba  

, 稲葉郷子

Kyouko Inaba, a member of the Nuubes class and known for her fiery red hair and temperament, has had a special connection to Nube since their first meeting several years ago. Though it's suggested they may have met earlier in a past life, Kyouko is seen as one of the most caring characters who looks after the welfare of her classmates and shows an emotional attachment towards them whenever something happens to one she cares about. Despite appearing cute and innocent at first, Kyouko can possess a violent temper that drives her friends and even Nube crazy. However, this does tone down later on. When Hiroshi joins the class, Kyouko initially cannot stand his annoying behavior but eventually develops romantic feelings towards him as the series progresses. On the other hand, she has a love/hate rivalry with her closest friend, Miki Hosokawa, often over physical matters such as her flat chest, big butt, and Sailor Moon-esque pigtails. Her name is an homage to the female lead of Dokonjyou Gaeru, where Kyouko also falls in love with a Hiroshi.
