Sayuri Kurata (倉田 佐祐理 Kurata Sayuri ) is the best friend of Mai Kawasumi whom she enjoys being with Mai even though they have different personalities where the two became friends after an incident in which Mai chased a stray dog away from the school courtyard, although Sayuri later finds Mai feeding the dog, showing her gentler side and she attends Yuichi Aizawa's High School.
Appearance[]
Sayuri is a third-year student of average height with straight chest-length brown hair that is unbraided with a fringe that reaches down to her eyebrows where she keeps the sides of her hair down so that it reaches her chest. She keeps the back of her hair untied, save for a few strands which she ties up in a large, green checkered bow. Her eyes are a hazel color.
Sayuri is usually seen wearing her red school uniform, although she can be seen wearing a gown at the school ball and a kimono at graduation.
Personality[]
Sayuri is a kind and popular third year student from a somewhat affluent family. Every day, she cooks a bento for Mai Kawasumi and later Yuichi Aizawa when he starts having lunch with them at the top of a staircase they eat at to avoid their fellow classmates such as Kuze, who constantly harasses Mai in particular. Sayuri's personality is quite different than Mai's. She is always seen smiling and is easily recognized by her signature laugh. She seems to care deeply for Mai and tries her best to make her happy, such as buying her a surprise birthday present from a general store and occasionally going to the library with her.
Etymology[]
- The name Sayuri means "help, aid" (佐) (sa), "heavenly protection" (祐) (yu) and "reason, logic" (理) (ri).
- Sayuri's surname Kurata means "warehouse" (倉) (kura) and "field, rice paddy" (田) (ta).
Quotes[]
- “I’m just an ordinary girl, except maybe I’m not as clever as most people.”
- “I just wanted to play with Kazuya. Just spend time having fun with him. To laugh with him till it got dark outside. To laugh with him under the stars. I wanted to see him smile. The smile which I had never seen.”
- “At that moment, we were brother and sister. It was the first time we had ever played together. It was also the last time.”
- “Since then, I’ve always referred to myself as Sayuri. Not because of anything like self respect. Just the opposite, I couldn’t feel good about myself anymore.”
- “After losing Kazuya, Sayuri cut her wrists. It left a scar and hurt a lot. Sayuri was really serious about it. Because Sayuri felt that Kazuya died because of her… Sayuri just wanted a way out."
- “This is happiness. Being with Mai and Yuichi-san together. All of us eating and talking together. Isn’t this… what I’ve always wanted? The happiness I’ve searched for all this time.”
- "The real princess has appeared, hasn't she? Sayuri's only the supporting actress."
