Her favorite color is white,[4] and lavender. She also likes lavender ice cream.[5]
If someone gives Komako a flower, she will gracefully accept the flower and place it in her hair.[6]

Background[]
Komako's born on September 13th.[8] Komako heard that shrine maidens aren't supposed to wear underwear, so she spent several years not wearing anything under her clothes. The reason for her seven-week absence was that she had "Family Business" until she returned in the eighth week. Said "family business" was tending to her family's shrine.[9]
Introduction[]
Yamato Nadeshiko.
It's a phrase that refers to the traditional Japanese concept of "ideal woman".
A woman who is pure and feminine.
Gentle, graceful, humble, patient, faithful...
Meek. Quiet. Timid.
Keep the house clean. Bear lots of children. Respect your husband no matter what.
Know your place.
Yamato Nadeshiko.
It's often said that this type of woman is going extinct...
...that it's rare to find a woman who embodies those traits in this day and age.
But, there's one girl at Akademi who fits that description perfectly.
The most popular girl in school. Every boy wants her. Every girl wants to be her.
Even my Senpai has fallen under her spell.
Well, it's time to break the spell that this witch has cast over the school.
I'd like to stain her perfect reputation... and turn her adoring fans into her enemies.

Canon Elimination[]
Komako's canon elimination is Gossip.
- The player can do this within just a couple of days and can buy the Skimpy Sexy Panties or improve their seduction or psychology stat to boost the damage.
- The player can also find a mirror (either in the girl's bathrooms, Light Music Club, or the staircase in between the Science Club and Art Room), and change their outer persona before talking to a student to lessen the damage to Ryoba's reputation.
- Follow her to her desk and read her Diary. This will have the player automatically share her secret embarrassing information about Komako.
- Just go around and tell everyone she likes violence, besides people who do like it as well. The list of people who love violence that you can socialize with: Moeko Rakuyona, Yui Rio, Haruto Yuto, and Umanosuke Yoshinari.
- Do this until her reputation reaches -100 to -149. Note that -150 will result in suicide, which will be counted as a different elimination.
- (Optional) Join the newspaper club to write a gossip newspaper about her, which will damage her reputation by 20 points per day.
