Miki Kawai is a supporting character in the Koe no Katachi series. She is the class representative in Shouya Ishida's class. Kawai is rather cute girl with chest-length dirty light-green hair that is tied in pigtails and darkish-green eyes (which she states in her own chapter that she knows she is "cute"). When she was younger, she used to wear glasses. Kawai acts as a responsible girl, usually taking the role of a leader whether it be in class or on a small trip with friends. She also acts kind and polite when helping her classmates. However, at times when she is pushed, she can act rude and say mean comments about people. She is the only one who is able to tell Naoka Ueno off whenever she is going too far. Shouya Ishida asked her one day about whether or not she told the class about his past mistakes, which offended her and she talked back. He then implied that she was a hypocrite because she acted like she didn't do anything during the time Shouko Nishimiya was being bullied. When she was confronted by this she acted weak in front of the class and reveals to them that it was actually Ishida who made Nishimiya transfer schools. She may seem nice and polite to people but is actually quite conceited, evident in the fact that she acknowledged the fact that she was cute even from before and feels as if the class loves her. When Ishida was comatose she asked the class to make 1000 paper cranes to give to Ishida when he woke up. She found out right after that some people, in fact, know that she can be bossy and thinks the paper cranes is an absurd idea and that she can sometimes be creepy. It can be hinted that she has a crush on Satoshi Mashiba as she constantly agrees with the things he does.
A Silent Voice
As a wild youth, elementary school student Shouya Ishida sought to beat boredom in the cruelest ways. When the deaf Shouko Nishimiya transfers into his class, Shouya and the rest of his class thoughtlessly bully her for fun. However, when her mother notifies the school, he is singled out and blamed for everything done to her. With Shouko transferring out of the school, Shouya is left at the mercy of his classmates. He is heartlessly ostracized all throughout elementary and middle school, while teachers turn a blind eye. Now in his third year of high school, Shouya is still plagued by his wrongdoings as a young boy. Sincerely regretting his past actions, he sets out on a journey of redemption: to meet Shouko once more and make amends. Koe no Katachi tells the heartwarming tale of Shouya's reunion with Shouko and his honest attempts to redeem himself, all while being continually haunted by the shadows of his past.
