Kotonoha Katsura is a yandere character from the visual novel series School Days.
Background[]
She has an obsession with her boyfriend Makoto Itou.
Kotonoha went to Harami Junior High and because she was popular with her male classmates, she was bullied by the girls. When she entered high school, she was placed in Class 4, the class next to Makoto Itou's. Makoto had seen her on the train a couple of times and he decided to test out a theory by taking a picture of her with his phone. At some point, she started to develop feelings for him before Sekai Saionji introduced them to each other.
It's possible to avoid turning Kotonoha into a yandere by being nice to her and not toying with her affections and constantly cheating on her. However, certain actions that lead to her breaking down mentally will trigger a bad ending.
Deredere Feats[]
- She is very affectionate and loving with Makoto.
- She shares Makoto with Sekai as part of a polyamorous relationship in one of the routes.
- In the Cross Days manga, her, Sekai and Makoto are in a relationship. Kotonoha was most likely manipulated by Makoto for this.
Yanderu Feats[]
- She is very protective and jealous of Makoto.
- In most routes, when she realizes that the only way to win Makoto is through sex, she becomes extremely perverted towards him, even sexually assaulting him.
- Bavarois and Lust routes, she becomes manipulative in order to get Makoto to choose her and to get Sekai out of the way.
- In several endings of Cross Days, she secretly stalks Makoto and the girl next to him while she is in yandere mode.
- (Bloody End) She goes to Makoto's house but when she hears him and Sekai having sex, she has a nervous breakdown and listens to them almost every night.
- While she was listening to them from the window of Makoto's room, she saw a machete and then decided to kill Sekai and laughed wildly.
- (Bloody End) After she tells Sekai to "die" she kills her on a bridge in front of everyone using a machete and then laughs madly
- She attempts to kill Makoto for rejecting her but she's unable to do so because she still loves him.
- (Forever) When she realizes that Makoto loves Sekai, she tells them that they will never be happy and that she will do anything to prevent this. Then she throws her phone off a balcony and then jumps herself. In her last moments, she smiles at Makoto and Sekai and separates them, even though she dies.
- (Self Destruction) Makoto says he had sex with a "girl" named Yuu in the men's room. Kotonoha, who is in another stall, hears this and cries. She then follows Yuu to the library and kills *her* with a crowbar.
- (Sister) Kotonoha kills "yuu"'s older sister Chie with a crowbar, thinking she is "yuu".
- (A fight is coming) Ai Yamagata lies to Kotonoha about Makoto being the father of her child. Makoto says it's not true, but Kotonoha gets angry and kills one or both of them with a kunai.
- (Twisted Hair) Sekai and Kotonoha argue and then Sekai pushes Kotonoha onto the train tracks but Makoto helps her. Kotonoha uses Sekai as leverage while trying to pick up her fallen phone and, most likely for revenge, Makoto also grabs her by the hair and throws her onto the tracks. Sekai is hit by the train and dies. Makoto and Kotonoha are saved.
- (Lamplight) Kotonoha and Sekai argue as in Twisted Hair. Later, Kotonoha pushes Sekai onto the train tracks out of anger, but Makoto saves her, but this time the train hits Makoto, and Kotonoha indirectly causes Makoto's death.
