Hosokawa, Miki

細川美樹

Miki Hosokawa, possibly the greatest troublemaker in Nube's class, is best known for her big mouth, her vast spiritual knowledge, and her large bust. Initially, Miki was merely a tattletale, constantly chatting about various rumors, particularly those involving Nube. However, following a near-fatal encounter with a tattletale youkai, she begins to tone down her talking and starts focusing on more spiritual matters. Miki conducts consistent research on various spirit and youkai manners, to the point where even her teacher comes to her for information he may not know. While most of this is merely knowledge, she consistently looks for supernatural means to assist her, either for her rumor mill or to get rich quick. One of her most important spiritual developments was gaining the ability to become a rokurokubi, allowing her to spiritually stretch her head and neck to go undercover anywhere she chooses. Extremely vain about her physicality, Miki prides herself on her growing buxom figure (she grows from a B-cup to an F-cup over the course of the series) and flaunts it whenever she can. Her name is an homage to a main heroine in another of the main Nube influences: Go Nagai's classic horror series Devilman.
