==Speculation==
==Kazuko in [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica|Oriko Magica]]==
* Some fans speculate that Kazuko presumably is having a secret love affair with [[Nakazawa]]-kun, due to the fact that she is always inquiring Nakazawa-kun about her dates. One possible explanation is that Nakazawa-kun simply just looks like her dates; another possible explanation is that he is the mysterious man himself and Kazuko is using these moments to grill him about what went wrong.
Kazuko appears briefly in Oriko Magica. {{spoiler| She dies after being devoured by a familiar.}}
**There is also some speculation that perhaps Kazuko has a crush on her student, but because it is a forbidden love she is not allowed to express her true feelings for him openly. Or perhaps it is Nakazawa-kun who wont allow the forbidden love to flourish and develop for it would become a scandal if it was known.
***Because of her powers over him as a teacher, perhaps she hopes that one day he would be forced to acknowledge his feelings for her.
