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.
