Japanese Name (Kiriha Kosane)


Kosane Kiriha (霧羽こさね) is a character in Null Magical Girl. A 24-year-old graduate student. Ten years ago, she attempted to make a contract with Kyubey. However, without a soul, she could not become a Magical Girl. Kosane attends university pursuing a Master's degree. The title of her Master’s thesis is “A Study of the So-Called Cognitive Revolution.” Having failed at job hunting, she will be hopelessly unemployed in April. Paradoxically, she is both a magical girl and not a magical girl. Kosane has no brain.

Etymology

  • 'Kosane' is likely a reference to The World of Null-A - the novel's main character's surname, Gosseyn, is stated to be pronounced "go sane" by the book's author. This is also confirmed by another tweet by Gengen Kusano.
    • "Kosa" (こさ) is similar to the term ごさ (an alternate writing for kanji meaning "error, discrepancy").
    • "Sane" (さね) is an alternate writing of kanji that means "truth" or "reality".
    • Moving the last syllable to the front like Eruna's name (but excluding "-sa") creates "neko" (ねこ), an alternate writing of kanji meaning cat. If intentional, this may reference Incubators and/or Coeurl (named after a cat-like creature similar to Incubators).
  • Her surname Kiriha (霧羽) is comprised of kanji 霧 ("mist, fog") and 羽 (originally referred specifically to where the quill of a feather attaches to the skin, then broadened to mean "feather", and then further to "wing").
