Hisa Takei is a third year student at Kiyosumi High School and is the current president of the mahjong club, as well as president of the school's student congress. She was formerly known as Hisa Ueno. Hisa has always wanted to enter the inter-high team mahjong tournament, but in previous years there weren't enough club members to form a five woman team.
Saki
Saki Miyanaga is a high school freshman who doesn't like mahjong. Ever since she was a child, she would lose her New Year's gift money during her family mahjong game. If she won, her parents would be upset, and if she lost, well, she lost. As a result, she's learned to play in such a way that her score differential always remains ±0: not good enough to win, but not bad enough to lose. When we meet her, she's being dragged to her school's mahjong club by an old friend. How will a girl who hates mahjong, yet has become adept at the game as a result of her upbringing, survive in this environment? (Sources: ANN and AniDB)
