Saeko Busujima

Saeko Busujima is one of the main characters from the Highschool of the Dead series.
== Charactah Account ==
A high school senior and president of the school's kendo club, she is extremely skilled with a bokken and close combat. Calm and collected with a sense of pride in her skills and those that she's with, Saeko is among the most reliable of the group. Everyone can count on her combat skills to pull them through a tough spot if need be. Not much is known about her family except for her father who had traveled abroad on a self-defense conference before the advent of the Outbreak. She has shown fondness towards Takashi and believes in his abilities to get them through the crisis.
Four years prior to the story, Saeko was attacked by a man on her way home one night; however, she was able to easily overpower the man since she had her wooden sword with her. After severely injuring the man, the police released her due to the circumstances, but the events of that night left Saeko with a profound revelation.
Saeko discovered a sadistic side to herself that enjoyed inflicting pain and suffering. It is also implied that at some point in the past she had liked a boy. But she was never able to tell him how she felt, feeling that her dark side meant that she did not deserve to confess her feelings..

* Saeko is the captain of Fujimi Academy's Kendo Club.
* Saeko is the first character to realize that knocking "Them" over is almost as effective as killing them.
* According to Morita, Saeko is ranked as the sexiest female student at Fujimi Academy.
* In Morita's Report, he shares his fantasy with Takashi Komuro about Saeko wearing nothing but an apron and a thong. But ironically, Saeko actually wears this attire later in front of Takashi.
* Saeko has been known to drool when she sleeps.

* In Episode 11, it was somewhat implied that there is a possibility that Saeko and Rei may have a professional or familial relationship.
* As of the OVA, Saeko is the first character to share an onscreen mouth-to-mouth kissing scene, alongside Takashi. However, if one were to consider the hallucinations all of the characters were experiencing at the time and the revelation that Takashi was surrounded by “Them” overnight, then Saeko shared the first “real” kiss with Rei. Ironically, it was a lesbian kiss with her romantic rival.
* It is also heavily implied that she and Rei had lesbian sex in the OVA, as they woke up still hallucinating the other as Takashi while kissing each other naked.
