Hiroko Funakubo
A second-year at Senriyama Girls' High School in North Osaka, Hiroko serves as her team's strategist in "Saki: Achiga-hen episode of side-A." She's known for her thorough scouting work—she meticulously analyzes opposing players' styles and abilities before tournaments to give Senriyama an edge.
The family connections are a bit of a sore spot for her. She's cousins with Hiroe and Kinue Atago from Himematsu High School, and her aunt supervises Senriyama's mahjong club. People outside the team have questioned whether she earned her strategist role on merit or just rode family connections, which clearly bothers her.
