Sugimoto, Yasuko

杉本恭己

Yasuko is a well-known third-year student at Matsuoka Girl's High School. She is a cool senior and the captain of the basketball team, although Fumi initially mistakes her for a member of the Literature Club when they first meet. She holds nearly star status in Matsuoka and Fujigaya, particularly in the latter.
She insists on bringing Fumi along on her visits to Akira's school. Her original reason was to assign the role of Heathcliff to Fumi, who is almost as tall as she is, but Yasuko soon develops a deeper interest in her.
After visiting Fujigaya Girls Academy and rejecting Kyouko's confession, she asks Fumi out, and Fumi accepts.
Yasuko greatly enjoys the arts; she is shown to be a very good artist, an exceptional actor, and a voracious reader. Her accomplished aura could be a result of the subconscious conditioning she received as a child. As the youngest Sugimoto sister, she often had to listen to the praise that Shinako, Kazusa, and Kuri received.
Although she is seen as personable and likeable in public, Yasuko is unintentionally bratty and sullen at home and is often in contention with her third-eldest sister, Kuri, who provokes her.
