History[]

Hitomi makes her very first appearance in episode 1. She is seen with Sayaka Miki and Madoka Kaname in the first episode while walking to school. Then after school, the two sit in a cafeteria and chat about their day and the new student, Homura Akemi, before leaving to attend her first piano lesson.

In episode 2, Hitomi and her friends walk together for school. On their way, Hitomi notices that Madoka and Sayaka have grown significantly closer, wondering what happened overnight. Then, she concludes that Madoka and Sayaka are in love. Later, Madoka and Sayaka catch up with her at class and apologize. Hitomi leaves without them after the day has ended.

In episode 4, Madoka spots her walking along with lots of other people, infected by a Witch´s kiss. Madoka stops her and the others from creating a chemical reaction that would kill all of them.

She later confesses to Sayaka that she has a crush on Kyosuke, and gives her time to confess. However, she chooses not to, so Hitomi confesses her love to Kyosuke. This was a major factor in turning Sayaka into a Witch, but she is completely unaware of that fact. She believes Sayaka commited suicide due to her and Kyosuke's late romantic relationship. In episode 11, she is seen mourning at Sayaka's funeral.

In the first two timelines of episode 10, she makes a cameo appearance during Homura's introduction at school.

In The Rebellion Story, Hitomi becomes a Nightmare, because she started seeing Kyosuke very rarely. Thankfully, she is saved by Holy Quintet. Later, it is revealed that she is among the few real humans trapped in Homulilly's Labyrinth, though she is freed afterwards.

In Oriko☆Magica, Hitomi first appears in chapter 4 before being mentioned in chapter 3, walking alongside Madoka, Sayaka and Homura, this time, Hitomi is also under Homura's protection circle. In chapters 5 and 6, when Mitakihara Middle School is trapped within a Witch's Labyrinth, Sayaka and Hitomi escape a Familiar's attack after getting separated from Madoka. When she sees a student's dead body, she started crying because she couldn't bear it anymore. Sayaka finds a door to a safe place where they meet Madoka later. Later, in chapter 7, Hitomi is seen mourning over Madoka's death alongside Sayaka after she was killed by Oriko. Homura resets the timeline.

Relationships[]

  • Madoka Kaname: Her childhood friend and classmate. Evidently, Madoka cares a lot for Hitomi and prevents her from finding out about the Magical Girls system.
  • Sayaka Miki: Her childhood friend and classmate who she can understand. Sayaka cares a lot for Hitomi and prevents her from finding out about the Magical Girls system even though she can also be antagonistic towards her, especially when romance is the point of antagonism. Hitomi has shown that she cares for Sayaka and would put her friendship with her over a boy she likes.
  • Homura Akemi: Although the two were never shown having any interaction in the original series, in other timelines like those of Portable or Oriko☆Magica, Hitomi and Homura share a friendly bond and Homura is always there for Hitomi when she fights with Sayaka, showing that they have great respect for each other.
  • Kyosuke Kamijo: Her friend and classmate. She is later revealed to have a crush on him and got together after she confessed him. However, their relationship could be considered weak as Kyosuke in The Rebellion Story doesn't seem to priorize Hitomi over his violin lessons and such.

Family[]

Mother
Hitomi mentions in episode 1 that she has a mother who decided for every of her extracurricular activities. Hitomi has hinted that she doesn't like her behavior towards Hitomi.

Trivia[]

  • She shares her voice actress with Amy.
  • According to an interview held in Animagic 2013, if Hitomi was ever meant to become a Magical Girl, she would wish for Kyubey to disappear.[4]
