Character

Hiroko Seto

瀬戸紘子

Hiroko is Kousei's piano mentor, guardian, and formerly a close friend of Saki Arima. Hiroko is also a renowned pianist in Japan and was also seen taking care of Saki before her death. Hiroko is a tall, beautiful and athletically framed woman with straight shoulder-length black hair that has a single strand hanging in front of her face swept to the left and navy blue eyes. Before the death of Saki Arima (Hiroko's close friend), Hiroko had mid-back length hair and a thicker fringe. Upbeat and exuberant on the outside, Hiroko is actually a warm-hearted and sensitive person who cares for Kousei Arima after he decides to begin to play the piano once again. She also partly feels guilty for pushing Saki Arima to make Kousei into a pianist, pushing him into a corner. But all in all, she supports him in all his decisions and is always there for him.
