Magica Mima Umbra Puella:NPCs

The Shogi Club

Junko - The club treasurer. A senior in Tomoe's class, Junko does most of the work involved in adminstering the club.

Kirika - A 2nd year who is something of a late blooming prodigy. She had very little experience before joining the club, but has progressed very rapidly. Very shy, almost pathetically grateful for the attention she receives from her various senpai.

Hitomi - A 1st year, the weakest player in the club.

Oda Nobuyasu - Tomoe's uncle is the advisor to the shogi club. In his youth, he was a well known shinken-shi, an amateur shogi player who made a living by playing for stakes, but after he married he settled down and became a teacher. He rarely gets involved in the running of the club, but does show up to meetings sometimes to play against the girls, who have yet to beat him.

Family members of Magical Girls

Oda Shion - Tomoe's excessively perfect brother. He's kind, well-mannered, handsome, scarily well organised and well presented, keeps fit unlike his lazy sister, and even knows how to cook. He is also an idealist who is deeply concerned about the influence of the Yakuza, and believes that a career in law will best enable him to make a difference. Best friends with Youichi, and a friend of Hoshiko and Mizuki. Is attempting to court Akemi, and has managed to impress her parents but not her.

Rika Meiko - Chizuru's mother. Meiko is a kind and generous person, but she and her daughter grate on each other immensely. Meiko is very happy as a housewife -- she deeply loves her husband, and dotes on her daughter, she loves cooking and housekeeping, she is friends with most of the other housewives in the neighborhood, and she essentially has everything she needs to make her life complete. The trouble comes from the fact that she really doesn't see why any girl would want anything different from what she has, and so she has been trying to steer Chizuru out of what she sees as childish hobbies and teach her how to be a good wife and mother. She especially disapproves of Chizuru's obsession with math and science, as she feels that many men are turned off by a girl who's brainier than they are. She just wants her girl to find a good man and have a wonderful marriage -- which has put romance somewhere lower on Chizuru's list of priorities than dying of gangrene. Meiko has been helping a friend of hers, Mrs. Kirisame, who has been breaking down in the wake of her younger daughter's suicide, and has become something of a confidante for the elder daughter, Rasu-chan.
