She is globally considered to be the perfect, beautiful girl, with people stopping and staring upon seeing her. Kokomi is a love interest of Saiki Kusuo, constantly seeking his attention due to his skeptical nature while slowly developing genuine feelings for him. She was played by in the live action film of the series.
She was voiced by and in the Flash series in the Japanese version, by in the first season of the Funimation dub, and by in the Netflix dub in the English version. 
==Appearance==
Kokomi is a slim girl of average height with a pale complexion. She has long, dark blue hair that flows past her shoulders, with bangs framing her face. Her eyes are round and blue with a downward slant. A golden, occasionally rainbow, aura surrounds her most of the time. Kokomi is considered very attractive, with Kusuo acknowledging that she is undoubtedly beautiful and staring at her for too long.
On school days, she wears the standard female PK student uniform: a white Seifuku school uniform with a teal sailor collar, white collar flap, and black sleeve cuffs striped with one white line. She pairs this with a light red ribbon tied in a large bow at her collar and a short, pleated teal skirt. Her legwear consists of black socks just below the knee and brown penny loafers.
==Personality==
Kokomi considers herself both beautiful and kind. Although her thoughts make her appear overconfident, hubristic, or conceited, she is simply self-aware. She has always been praised for her beauty since birth and is used to seeing men and women, young and old alike, fall instantly in love with her. Therefore, it shocks her when she doesn't receive the expected attention. When Kusuo responds indifferently to her advances, it fuels her determination to make him react. Moreover, when Iridatsu Yūta treats her poorly, she desires revenge, which she plans to fulfill years later.
Nevertheless, Kokomi understands the importance of not flaunting her beauty. She believes that while beauty on the outside can entice, beauty on the inside truly captivates someone. As a result, she pretends to be unaware of her charms.
Kokomi's beauty allows her to easily manipulate situations to her advantage, thanks to her convincing acting skills. For example, when her class' play is in trouble due to a low budget, she uses her beauty and acting skills to create an illusion for the audience. With the help of Kusuo's hypnosis, she makes it seem like they are actually in the story, causing the play to be a success.
Kokomi has a strong willpower, working hard to maintain her reputation as the perfect, beautiful girl. She is careful not to harm others' feelings and treats everybody in a friendly and polite manner. Moreover, she hides her true emotions, such as anger and disappointment, with a smile. However, she occasionally lets them out due to shock or embarrassment. For instance, when someone assumes the person she likes is Nendō Riki, she is appalled and unintentionally yells at him. When given food she dislikes, she eats it because "a perfect beautiful girl never wastes food." Even though all she needs to do is say she doesn't know, she puts in the extra effort for everyone to like her even more. She didn't sleep for several days to remember everything about everyone, causing her to collapse in front of them.
Kokomi is more competitive than she looks. She excels in sports, beauty, academics, and art. For example, she uses her charm to encourage Kouki Sawakita to win the three-legged race with her. When students compare her to Rifuta Imu, she invites her to lunch to prove she can't match up to her beauty. She is remarkably intelligent, consistently ranking higher than the majority of students in the final academic exams and placing 21st and 14th out of 181 students.
Kokomi's personality changes throughout the series. She initially pursued wealth but later rejected a marriage proposal from Saiko Metori, a famous and wealthy student, and abandoned a life of luxury. She couldn't forgive him for disrespecting her friends and the person she cared about, admitting that she would have accepted immediately if he had proposed earlier. At first, she was frustrated that Kusuo didn't react the way she wanted him to and tried getting back at him. However, over time, she found herself constantly thinking about him and eventually falling in love. For instance, at a mixer, she unexpectedly enjoyed herself but wished Kusuo had been there to make it even more fun and imagined what he would do if he were present, causing him to smile slightly.
