Kyousuke Kamijou

Kamijou as seen in the opening

Childhood friend of Sayaka. A violin prodigy, but an accident left him unable to play ever again. Sayaka has a crush on him.

• He is the violinist who appears with Sayaka in the OP.
• Episode 1: Madoka guesses that he is the reason Sayaka wants to go to the CD store.
• Episode 2: He is shown bedridden in the hospital when Sayaka comments that there must be many who would trade their lives for a wish and that life has been too easy for her.
• Episode 3: Sayaka visits him in the hospital twice. At the start of the episode, Sayaka gives Kamijou a CD by David Ostriakh, and they share his headphones and listen to Rachmaninoff's "Vocalise" together. Kamijou fingers the notes as he listens and then he cries. Later, Sayaka tries to visit him but is turned away; the explanation given by Kamijou's family is that he isn't in good shape. Madoka and Sayaka then find a Grief seed embedded outside the hospital.
• Episode 4: Sayaka visits him in the hospital and tries to talk with him about music, but he accuses her of mocking his inability to play the violin anymore. He reveals that the current state of medicine is incapable of healing his left hand, saying that it would take a miracle or magic for him to play again. It is revealed at the end of the episode that Sayaka used her wish to heal his left hand, in exchange becoming a magical girl for Kyuubey.
• Episode 5: Kamijou regains the ability to play the violin after Sayaka's wish repairs his hand. She claims it to be the "happiest moment of her life"
• Episode 6: Sayaka goes to visit him at the hospital, but is informed that he was discharged and didn't inform Sayaka. She goes to visit him at his house and she hears him practicing his violin. She is about to enter when she is confronted by Kyouko.
• Episode 7: Kamijou returns to school, but still needs crutches.

Speculation

• Kamijou has been confirmed as Sayaka's crush, and is her childhood friend. How she met Kamijou is unknown, but perhaps she has only been able to spend more time with him after his injury. She bought the disc for Kamijou.
• Kamijou was a famous violinist that Sayaka admires. However, for some reason, he had to be hospitalized and couldn't play the violin anymore. Upon getting her wish, Sayaka then feels guilty to be so lucky and thinks about him and his misfortune.
• In Episode 3, Mami warns Sayaka that there is a difference between wanting to grant another's wish, and wanting to be the person to grant another's wish. This is possibly foreshadowing to negative consequences that will happen if Sayaka makes her wish to help Kamijou regain his health.
