Kazamino City

Kasamino City (風見野, Kasamino-shi) is the city where Kyoko and her family are originally from.

Based on comments by Kyoko in the Drama CD "Farewell Story", it is a neighboring city of Mitakihara.

It is speculated that this city is where Yuma and Kyoko first meet in the spin-off manga, Puella Magi Oriko Magica.

Speculation

• It is unknown where is the exact location of Kasamino City, however, there are some clues as to its possible location. According to the Madoka Magica Portable game, there's a strong possibility that Kasamino City shares a border with Mitakihara City's eastern border:
  • When Kyoko arrives to Mitakihara in the anime series, she is watching over the city from the Observation Tower.
    • The Madoka PSP game shows that the Observation Tower is located to the east of Mitakihara. In the anime, it's the place where Kyoko observed Kyosuke playing the violin on the roof of the hospital.
• The Madoka PSP game's world map shows that the church is located to the east, either on the edge of Mitakihara City or in Kasamino City. This could mean that Mitakihara and Kasamino share a border within that area of the map. An industrial area is located on the eastern part of the city, which is not far from the Sakura Church. In the game and possibly in the drama CD, the witch and Kyoko both came from the eastern direction when they meet Mami for the first time.
• In the Drama CD "Farewell Story", Kyoko arrives from neighboring city Kasamino into Mitakihara, pursuing a witch. It is assumed that not much time has passed and the witch has not gotten far. However, it was far enough that Kyoko mentions she is entering the another magical girl's territory in Mitakihara. A teacher indicates that Madoka's class is taking a tour of the automobile factory, which is also the location of the Witch's barrier. One possible location of such a factory would be within the industrial area.
  • If this were the case, then the game map would show that at least the northeastern part of the area is located in Mitakihara.
• There is a question of whether Sakura Church is located in Kasamino City. In the anime series, it is assumed that the church is located within Mitakihara. However, Kyoko states in the the Drama CD that she is from Kasamino, implying that the church would be within that city. The game leaves it ambiguous as to its location.
