Kyouko Suehara is a third-year student at Himematsu High School in South Osaka and a supporting character in the manga "Saki". She acts as a tactician for Himematsu's tournament team and briefs her teammates on their opponents' skills and playing patterns. Kyouko is observant of others' playing abilities. She is responsible for bringing Suzu Ueshige and Kinue Atago as members of the core team and bypassing other older members.
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)
