Her fighting ability is unknown, however, she, along with Tsukai & Abe, arrive to backup Ryuji during his fight with Kamata. She is seen to enjoy cooking & brings sandwiches to share with her classmates, who finds them repulsive, except Tsukai, revealed to have a crush on Itou & keeps a photo of her in his wallet. The Oni-baku come across the photo & decides to help set Itou up with Tsukai by organising a get together. They ask Itou to bring along her female friends to help themselves in the process. She goes shopping with Tsukai to get an outfit for the get together. Tsukai tells her about the Oni-baku legend & she sees his admiration for them. They go drinking & she reveals having a crush on Eikichi, wanting to admire Eikichi as much as Tsukai. She notes Tsukai's kindness as he tells her that he will support her. It turns out that she only invited her ugly friends to the get together so she can attract Eikichi's attention. Her plan backfires when a pretty blonde girl, Kaoru, tags along & all the guys are too busy chasing after Kaoru to notice.
