Tamao Kurei is Mahiro, Nyaruko, Kūko, and Hasuta's classmate. She is the main representative of the Newspaper Club, and is always ready to gather the scoop on a situation that she is not afraid to spread, much to the chagrin of some other characters. For this, she was easily nicknamed as "The Walking Speaker". Very talkative, likes to gather and spread gossip among the class. She became a close friend to Nyaruko and often gives advise for her to pursue Mahiro, despite often feeling depressed as her plans fail. She actually has feelings toward Mahiro, but decided to give up and support Nyaruko since she feels that she is no match for her.
