Yumenomori Katsurako

, is a character in the Tensei Pandemic manga series.
==Plot==
As the school nurse, Katsurako first becomes suspicious of Hinata body when he comes to the infirmary for a change of clothes. She becomes the first adult to learn about Hinata and Aki's transformations when a series of wild coincidences leads to Hinata transforming Mr. Oriyama into a woman right before Katsurako and Aki's eyes. Upon learning the truth of the situation from Hinata and Aki, Katsurako notes that such gender-changing phenomena are common in nature but unprecedented in humans, theorizing that Hinata may be harboring a special virus which transmits by kiss. With Hinata desperate for a cure, Katsurako proposes that Hinata and Akira kiss on the spot, hypothesizing a reversal through the same means as the transmission. However, this proves futile, and Katsurako advises them to stay quiet about the matter and avoid kissing anyone.
Over time, Katsurako stays updated on the situation via Hinata and Aki, but they come no closer to learning the method of reversal. Eventually, Hinata's secret is exposed to the class during a school trip. Katsurako handles the situation, gathering everyone and explaining that Hinata is affected by a mysterious disease for which a cure is being sought. When a student asks if they are at risk of being infected, Katsurako reassures them that it is unlikely for now, deliberately withholding details about how the virus spreads to avoid causing unnecessary panic. She also instructs the students refrain from posting about this on social media, uncertain if she can protect them all if things spiral out of control.
Hinata suggests that he should isolate himself from others for a while, given the situation. However, Katsurako insists that she would never want a student to go through something like that, promising to take responsibility for anything that happens, acknowledging the decision as one made out of her own selfishness. Despite his worries, the class is quick to accept the new Hinata, a sight that Katsurako is relieved to see.
Some time after, Katsurako would become one of the people witnessing the start of the Tensei Pandemic first-hand, as she joins her students in their confrontation of Suzugami Miya, who is discovered to be the culprit. When Miya releases an airborne version of the Tensei Virus, Katsurako is transformed into a man. However, when she expresses intense disgust towards her new body, the virus responds and reverts her back to her original form, confirming that the virus responds to one's inner desires.
