Kozue Kaoru is the previously mentioned sister of Miki. She used to play the piano with him when she was little, but she was, as she put it, never any good. It was just Miki's talent that carried the both of them. She actually said that the only reason she played was because a boy in the neighborhood sent her a love letter saying how beautiful her piano-playing was. After being humiliated at the concert when her brother was unable to play with her, Kozue stopped playing the piano and began to not get along with Miki. She does, however, get along with a lot of other people... Kozue has numerous boyfriends, mostly to tick Miki off, so that he will think about her all the time, even if he is mad at her. She also was shown coming out of the music room in a state of semi-undress after doing something with Touga. She has a very estranged relationship with her brother, and her parents as well. Once, when Miki receives a letter from their mother, she throws it away without reading it. I don't know why, exactly, but there was definately something weird going on there. Their parents were obviously getting divorced, and once, when Miki was on the phone with his father, he was asked if he would like to talk to his "new mother." This new mother was shown, if only from the neck down, and she had on a suspiciously familiar, uniformish red dress with gold tassles at the shoulders. Hmm. Now, that was one thing that never got explained. Anyway, Kozue has sort of a Nanami complex with her brother. She doesn't want anyone else to have him, and she's done some very nasty things to keep others away. Once, she even killed a teacher who she thought was coming onto Miki. She was even more enraged that Miki seemed to like Anthy so much, so she went to see Mikage at Nemuro Memorial Hall in order to kill Anthy. She draws Miki's sword out of his chest and duels Utena (losing, of course). After that, we don't see much of her. Wow, it must be a trend or something.
