Description
Kotoko Imai is a junior high school student at Ichigo Junior High School. She possesses thigh-length dark-blue hair styled with braided sections tied back, complemented by two straight locks framing her face: a longer strand on the right and a medium-length strand on the left. A distinctive beauty mark accents her right cheek. Her eyes are teal-blue, and she sometimes wears blue glasses. Her standard school uniform mirrors her peers: a white shirt featuring dark pink cuffs and four buttons, paired with a dark pink pleated skirt. She completes this outfit with long black socks and brown shoes. For summer, she switches to a short-sleeved shirt, a light blue vest, and a creamy-white skirt marked by a red stripe at the bottom.
Academically gifted, Kotoko consistently ranks at the top among third-year students in her prefecture. She exhibits a caring and nurturing personality, frequently looking after others. She remains oblivious to romantic advances, interpreting confessions or love letters as admiration or respect rather than romantic interest. This trait extends to her interactions with classmate Erito Kurosawa; she overlooks his feelings despite evidence revealed by a mind-reading robot she built. Kotoko advocates for peaceful coexistence between humans and robots and disapproves of robots replacing human jobs.
Her family has a teaching legacy spanning multiple generations, beginning with her grandfather and continuing with her father. Kotoko serves as president of the school's computer club. During her first year, she sought to establish a robotics or programming club. Facing initial challenges in recruitment after founding it, Erito Kurosawa eventually joined as vice president. He suggested renaming it the "PC Club" instead of "Robot Club" to attract more members, a strategy that succeeded. Kotoko developed her first robot, named Kotokoto, whom she cherishes, and maintains a focus on robotics within the club.
Key relationships define Kotoko's life: Suu is her partner. Her older brother is Ritsu Imai. She interacts with classmates Haruhito Sugiyama and Yuri Sawamura. Yume Hinata and Maira Tsukishima address her as "senpai," recognizing her senior status. Kotoko receives significant admiration within her school, evidenced by numerous love letters from female students, contrasting with Haruhito Sugiyama's popularity among male students.
Her age progresses across official media: she begins at 14 in the first season, turns 15 in *Mix!*, and reaches 16 by Episode 49 of *Mix!*. Her role as a Dream Partner remains consistent throughout.
