Kotoko; Showing her Annoyance
Role in the Series[]
Kotoko originally belonged to Yoshiyuki, but following Chi's kidnapping, Hideki and Shinbo force Yoshiyuki to transfer ownership of Kotoko to Hideki so that her memories of Yoshiyuki kidnapping Chi cannot be erased. Kotoko is far more serious than Sumomo, and thinks that everyone in the Motosuwa household is crazy, Sumomo in particular. Kotoko's speciality is research, which twice drives the story forward. Kotoko is also programmed to always tell the truth, no matter what, even when it works to her owner's disadvantage. She is serious and cynical, except when researching something, to the point of being tsundere.
Kotoko and Sumomo
After meeting Chii, Kotoko came to the conclusion that she was insane and clueless. She showed her inteligence by plugging herself into the computer and revealing her name, also claiming her master "kidnapped" Chii, much to Yoshiyuki's dismay. Kotoko cannot tell a lie because of her programming, even if it is unfavorable to her master.
Each time Chii came under the influence of Freya, Kotoko, like other persocoms, claim they can hear a "familiar voice" speaking to them. It was never clear who this was, but it is implied to be either Freya or Ichiro. These instances reveal her observervations and facination with Chii.
At the end of the series. it is unclear what happens to her; but it is implied she remained in Motosuwa's ownership.
