Minami Hokutozai is a pre-petrification human who worked as a reporter before the worldwide petrification event. She was revived by Tsukasa, whom she greatly admired, and initially used her information‑gathering skills to help locate strong and capable people for the Tsukasa Empire. Clever and ambitious, Minami takes great pride in her work as a journalist and information specialist, adhering to a strong sense of professional ethics. After the collapse of the Tsukasa Empire, she joined the Kingdom of Science, where she applied her sharp observation and documentation abilities to record the rebuilding of civilization. In the Kingdom of Science, Minami serves as a chronicler, photographer, and recorder, using cameras and other tools to capture important breakthroughs. She is naturally curious and enjoys learning about the relationships and personal lives of those around her, often asking questions that fluster others. Her energetic and optimistic outlook aligns with a love for new experiences and scientific discoveries. Among her key relationships, her initial loyalty to Tsukasa was a driving force, but she later developed a strong working dynamic with Senku and other members of the Kingdom of Science, eager to prove her capabilities. Over the course of the story, Minami transitions from an intelligence officer for one faction to a dedicated historian for the global scientific mission. Her notable abilities include expert information gathering, journalistic interviewing, detailed documentation, and photography, all of which she uses to preserve the progress of the stone world’s revival.
