Description
Miki Hosokawa is a fifth-grade student in class 5-3 at Doumori Elementary School. Initially known as a significant troublemaker, she stood out for her talkative nature and tendency to spread rumors, especially about her homeroom teacher. This reputation triggered a critical encounter with a tattletale yōkai. The entity blamed her for malicious gossip and attempted to consume her. Following this near-fatal event, her behavior shifted: she reduced her gossip and channeled her efforts into extensive research on spiritual matters, occult phenomena, and yōkai lore. Her knowledge became so deep that her teacher occasionally consulted her for obscure supernatural insights.
Physically, Miki possesses blonde hair, blue eyes, and a notably curvaceous figure for her age, standing 146 cm tall and weighing 39 kg. Her appearance, particularly her bust size which develops from a B-cup to an F-cup, becomes a defining aspect of her self-image, leading to significant vanity. She frequently flaunts her figure and engages in rivalries with classmates over physical attributes, especially Kyoko Inaba, where bust size is a point of contention. Her birthday is April 7.
Her occult studies lead to a major development: acquiring supernatural abilities. After obtaining a book on astral projection, she performs a chant that inadvertently awakens her spiritual potential. This grants her the ability to become a rokurokubi, a yōkai characterized by elongating its neck. Mistaking it for full astral projection, she remains unaware that only her head and neck stretch spiritually while her physical body stays stationary. She first uses this ability to cheat on a math test by spying on teachers. Her elongated neck becomes visible, causing panic as classmates mistake her for a real yōkai. Her teacher intervenes, explains only her astral form is affected, and temporarily seals the ability.
Later, she regains the rokurokubi ability voluntarily, this time with full control while awake. She frequently employs it for personal amusement or advantage: spying on classmates, scaring others—especially Ritsuko Takahashi due to her fear of the supernatural—or attempting schemes for quick wealth. Despite these disruptive uses, her extensive occult and spiritual knowledge occasionally proves useful in assisting her teacher during supernatural investigations.
Her relationships within class 5-3 are complex. She maintains a friendship intertwined with rivalry, primarily with Kyoko Inaba; they clash over physical appearance and romantic interests, particularly Hiroshi Tateno. She interacts opportunistically with other classmates, using Izuna Hazuki's fox tube spirit to cheat on tests or seeking out Shirato for food. She occasionally employs seductive charm towards male classmates like Hiroshi or Katsuya Kimura, actions portrayed as playful or self-serving rather than indicative of deeper bonds.
Her name combines the characters for "beautiful" (美) and "tree" (樹) in "Miki," while "Hosokawa" translates to "fine" (細) and "river" (川). A recurring catchphrase associated with her is "Unbelievable!".
