Movie
Description
Tomoe Kabe, a third-year trumpet player at Kitauji High School during "Sound! Euphonium The Movie - Our Promise: A Brand New Day," mentors first-year students alongside Kumiko Oumae. Her appearance features straight shoulder-length brown hair secured in miniature ponytails with yellow heart-shaped hairpins, cherry-red eyes, and a height of 157 cm. She typically wears her school uniform, occasionally layered with a white cardigan.
Joining the concert band as a complete beginner, Tomoe learned trumpet fundamentals under seniors like Kaori Nakaseko. She remained uninvolved in first-year conflicts as an observer. After failing auditions in her second year, she joined "Team Monaka" with Natsuki Nakagawa and Shinobu Morita. This support group organized stands, moved equipment, and crafted encouragement gifts through Kansai competitions and summer camp, where they performed "Gakuen Tengoku" to boost morale.
As a third-year mentor, Tomoe combined meticulous organization with cheerful accessibility, keeping detailed progress notes and building trust. Persistent left jaw pain led to a temporomandibular joint dysfunction diagnosis (sometimes called arthritis), impairing high notes and causing discomfort. Following band director Noboru Taki’s suggestion to switch instruments, she withdrew from performing entirely due to audition proximity and relearning challenges. She transitioned to concert band manager, formally announcing her decision.
In her managerial role, Tomoe handled sheet music, equipment coordination, and logistics, prioritizing collective support over individual performance. Her efficiency earned widespread appreciation. After Kitauji’s Kansai competition performance, she affirmed the band’s musical expression regardless of results.
She maintains close friendships with trumpet mate Yuuko Yoshikawa, sharing off-rehearsal time. Her collaborative bond with Natsuki Nakagawa strengthened through Team Monaka and management duties. Her mentoring partnership with Kumiko Oumae evolved into mutual respect, reflected in their nicknames ("Kabe-chan-senpai" and "Kumiko-chan"). She guides anxious first-year trumpeter Yume Kohinata and deeply admires senior Kaori Nakaseko, supporting her during audition tensions despite acknowledging Reina Kousaka’s skill.
Trivia notes: Her name "Tomoe" blends "friend/companion" (友) and "favor" (恵), while "Kabe" (wall) references "kabedon." Birthday is October 15 (Libra), blood type A. She favors akashiyaki over takoyaki and masks worries with cheerfulness. Post-graduation, she attends nationals as an alumnus, reuniting with Team Monaka members.
