Kobayashi, Hatoko

小林鳩子

Hatoko is a five-year-old known as the "miracle kindergartner," serving as Misaki's best friend and Angelic Layer mentor. Despite her young age, she is highly intelligent, mature, and diligent. She is an expert at Angelic Layer, frequently winning her matches in just seconds. She won all ten of her games at the Tokyo prefecture tournament and is the defending champion of the Kantō regional games. Fiercely competitive, she often works to increase her angel's speed and power. She also enjoys teasing her brother Kotaro about his apparent ineptitude regarding his crush on Misaki. Hatoko's angel is Suzuka. (from Wikipedia)
