Japanese Name (Kiriha Kosane)


Kosane Kiriha (若葉 みらい) 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 the publisher.
  • Her surname, Kiriha (若葉) is comprised of the kanji:
    • 若: "young", and can also refer to a young noble or heir
    • 葉: "leaf", "season/age" (a short period of time within a longer one), or a period of time during which a person holds a certain position
    • Together, the name can refer to a young person or to a newly sprouted leaf.
    • Though pronounced differently, they are the same kanji as Mirai Wakaba's surname.
