Kujou, Asuna

九条明日菜

A shy, attractive young woman who views dogs as her siblings. She quickly fell for Mitaka during their "omiai" meeting, even though Mitaka suffered an allergic reaction. At first, she was concerned about the relationship between Mitaka and Kyoko. Asuna's surname, Kujou, translates to "Ninth Avenue" in Kyoto, suggesting she belongs to the ancient aristocratic Fujiwara clan. Kujou is a homophone for Cujo, Stephen King's notorious demon dog, though it remains unclear if Rumiko Takahashi intended this as a pun.
