Student Number 30:

Satsuki Yotsuba (Yotsuba Satsuki?) Birthday: 12 May 1988. She is the gentle cook. She enjoys cooking and is in the cooking club. She also cooks at Chao Bao Zi, a restaurant operated out of a streetcar that sells meat buns and other foods with Chao, Hakase, Ku, and Chachamaru. She is also the school dining officer. A very nice and hard-working person, Satsuki is liked by everyone in Mahora, even Evangeline (who sees the rest of the class as a pack of air-headed beasts).

Her very presence creates an atmosphere of serenity, and she can quickly put a stop to fights even between the hot-headed students in the High School and University martial arts clubs. Satsuki’s dream is to have her own restaurant, as she likes making people happy through her food. Satsuki has a unique way of speaking that is shown in the manga by depicting her words without a speech bubble (possibly similar in style to Sumiyoshi of the Excel Saga series).

Satsuki seems to be privvy to the details of Chao’s true identity, and presumably the existence of magic, as she had helped Takamichi, and later Misora and Cocone escape from Chao’s underground complex, and even pilots the Chao Bao Zi car, which is capable of flight, to rescue Negi and Chao at the end of their battle. The manga and anime also tend to associate her with Koalas.

Trivia

  • Her personal name, Satsuki, literally means the “fifth month” of the solar calendar, May.
  • Negima!: Her Pactio ability is a magical version of her Chao Bao Zi stand to feed hungry demons to death.
  • Negima!?: Satsuki gains slight prominence as leader of the domestic/caretaker group after the class is sent to an alternate universe. During the “Suka incident”, she turns into a squirrel.
