Appearance
Kotone has waist-length blonde hair and dark-blue eyes.

She is usually seen wearing her school uniform and she sometimes wears glasses outside of school.

Etymology

 * The name Kotone means "Japanese harp" (琴) (koto) and "child" (子) (ne).
 * Kotone's surname Kashiwagi means "oak" (柏) (kashiwa) and "tree, wood" (木) (ki/gi).

Trivia

 * Like Yuto Sakuraba, Kotone is also an otaku, which is the reason why she became really good friends with him.
