Keiko, Aiko, and Yuuko are the female part of Nanami's fan club. They follow her around like puppies and do everything she says, which usually consists of doing something mean to Anthy. As Keiko, the ringleader, said, Nanami never gets her own hands dirty. They call her "Nanami-sama" and agree with everything she says, even if it's derogatory to themselves. None of them really get a personality except for Keiko, who is the one who always slaps Anthy and whoever else Nanami wants her to beat. All three of them have a crush on Touga, and that is the reason that they suck up to Nanami. Keiko's feelings run deeper than the other two, however, but she feels inferior to him and doesn't think that someone of her social status could ever have a relationship with someone like him. Every time she tries to get close to Touga, Nanami threatens to publically humiliate her. One day, she sees Touga walking in the rain and she offers to share her umbrella with him. Nanami sees this, and kicks Keiko out of her entourage. Confused and unhappy, Keiko goes to Nemuro Memorial Hall to talk to Mikage. He turns her jealousy and pain against her and makes her into a Black Rose Duelist, who then draws Touga's sword from his chest and fights Utena. An umbrella sits on each desk in the arena during her duel. She loses the duel, and with it, loses the good sense she had while she was a duelist (in other words, not caring about what Nanami thought about her). So she goes back to Nanami, apologizes, and returns to being head henchgirl. That's the kind of life I'd like to live, all right.
