This page describes minor side characters in Puella Magi Madoka Magica, including the unnamed background characters. See Other Classmates for details on students in Mitakihara Middle School.

Hospital Staff

Official Info

Doctors, assistants, and nurses of Mitakihara Town's main hospital.
The hospital staff are informative and helpful, and they do their best.
Tomoko Nakamura and Rumi Ookubo played female nurses in Episode 4 but it is uncertain which plays which. Ookubo played the right nurse in the right figure in Episode 6. Therefore, Nakamura may play the left nurse.

Speculations and Observations

Four men who look like the hospital staff appeared in Episode 12 as judges of Kamijou's performance.
- Since the Production Note mentions Kyousuke being a guitarist before the time loops began, one speculative theory is that someone wished for the violin to have been universally popular in Mitakihara, causing the hospital staff in all subsequent time loops to choose violin judging as a hobby.

The violin judges.
Doctors and nurses accompanied Kyousuke's parents to hear him play the violin after healing.
Two nurses encountered Sayaka in the hall and told her Kyousuke's status.
A nurse informs Sayaka of Kyousuke's discharge.

Office Lady

The Office Lady looked very similar to Madoka's mother in the TV broadcast version, but gained a more unique appearance in the BD version.
The witch's minions juggled her shoes.
Her necklace and earrings have a matching red diamond shape.
She has a mole on her chin.

The TV version.
The BD version. There were several minor corrections to Mami's face and clothing as well.
Entering Gertrud's territory.
Controlled by the witch.
Rescued by Mami.
Gertrud's witch's kiss appears on her neck.
This doesn't fall under the warranty's "normal wear and tear" coverage.
Office Lady from Megami Magazine.

School Faculty and Staff

Kazuko Saotome is Madoka's homeroom teacher.
The math teacher's voice is heard in episode 10, but he is only seen on screen in episode 9.
The gym teacher has a mole in the same place as the office lady who was attacked by Gertrud.

The gym teacher is astonished by Homura's record-breaking performance.
The math teacher in action.
He watches Homura walk out on his lesson like a boss.

Elly's Victims

Elly's Victims

Seiyū	Seirou Ogino (Factory manager)
Age	?

They are a group of Mitakihara City residents who were afflicted by Elly's witch's kiss.
Hitomi Shizuki was one of these victims. She revealed that none of them remembered the incident after waking up.
They attempted to commit suicide by mixing bleach with a toilet cleaner that contains hydrochloric acid to generate chlorine gas, which is toxic and has been used as a chemical weapon.
The police explained the incident as a mass hallucination involving sleepwalking.

The group applauds Hitomi's speech.
Other victims observe the "divine ritual".
Another victim.
The woman who attempted to mix cleaning agents.
Super Wash For toilet cleaning, sterilization, and deodorization!
Powerful Bacteria Killer GET WHITE Danger Do Not Mix
They were looking forward to going to a better place.
Upon being denied, they attacked Madoka as a zombie horde.

Kyousuke's Family

Kyousuke's Family

Seiyū	Hideki Tasaka (Father)
Age	?

Kyousuke asked his father to throw out his violin after the accident, but his father couldn't bear to and kept it until Kyousuke healed.
copy info from kyousuke's page

Kyousuke's parents listening to him playing the violin after healing.

Hosts

Hosts

Seiyū	Nobuo Tobita (Host A) Shinichiro Miki (Host B)
Age	?

The conversation between the hosts is based on one that Gen Urobuchi overheard on a train in real life.
Urobuchi refused to clarify whether Sayaka killed the hosts. Shinbo declared that she did not do so in the anime, but Hanokage determined that she did kill them in the manga.
One of the hosts calls the other "Shou-san". Shou is apparently skilled at dumping girlfriends.

Speculation

From information given here, it is possible than "Shou-san" is one of the men that dated Kazuko, Madoka's teacher.

Background Extras

On the day Homura returns to school, the 25th of either March or May, the weather is warm and sunny enough for the girls to feel comfortable outside in their uniforms, but cool enough that people in the mall after school were wearing long sleeves, jackets, and coats. Cafe patrons in episode 2 also had long sleeves.
In episode 5, people on the street are wearing coats, hats, scarves, and mittens. This scene takes place several days before the 12th of the month, in either April or June.
In episode 11, everyone in the shelter has long sleeves, but they don't have heavy coats, suggesting warm weather. Evacuation started at 7:30AM. They may have worn long sleeves due to the storm.

The mall in episode 1.
The cafe in episode 2.
Passengers in the hospital's elevator.
People in the hospital's lobby.
A street in episode 5.
The evacuation shelter in episode 11.
The evacuation shelter in episode 11.
