Kawamoto

Kawamoto (川本, Kawamoto) is a student from Fujimi Academy and is one of Koichi Shido's followers, though she originally came with Takashi Komuro's group.

About
During the initial Outbreak at Fujimi, Kawamoto was part of a group of five including herself, Takuzo, Naomi, and two other male students. Though she came onto the minibus with Takashi's group, she sided with Shido and became one of his followers. Her mind becomes twisted and she engages in sexual intercourse with another female follower: Taniuchi.

Appearence
Kawamoto is a red-headed girl with golden brown eyes. She has only been seen wearing the female uniform of Fujimi Academy. During her "free time" with Taniuchi and Miura, she is shown to have a pink (white in the anime) tanktop, but no bra, under her uniform.

History
Nothing is known about Kawamoto's past except that she was a part of Shido's track team along with Taniuchi, Tsunoda, Yuuki Miku, and Yamada.

Personality
Not much is known about Kawamoto's personality. Given the fact that she does not wear a bra and was seen making love with Taniuchi and Miura, it is possible that she is bisexual. She seems to be the more outgoing and tomboyish of the pair, and also appears to have a girl-crush on Shido given her small blush when Shido hugged her and Taniuchi to calm them when they witnessed some police men killing one of Them. Like her friend, Kawamoto has become quite cruel and mean-spirited due to Shido's corruption, best demonstrated when she laughed at Yamada who was kicked out due to disagreeing with Shido's ideals.

Plot
During the attack on Fujimi Academy, Kawamoto is first seen with Takuzo, Naomi, and two other students fighting Them on a stairwell. They are about to be overtaken when Takashi's group arrives and eliminates Them with relative ease. Naomi confirms that none in their group have been bitten and accepts Takashi's offer to join in their escape to the school.

Kawamoto and her now unified group arrived at the front entrance only to find that it was plagued by Them. Takashi went down to test Saya Takagi's theory if They only respond to sound. He threw a shoe at a locker, which caused the undead to walk towards the other side of the room. With the cost clear, Takashi gestured for Kawamoto and the others to move and they head out the door. Things go smoothly until one of the boys from Takuzo's group accidently banged his pole on the railing. The noise echoed throughout the school, attracting the attention of Them. Takashi yelled for the group to run and they ended up having to fight their way to the minibus. Along the way, Takuzo was caught and bitten and Naomi rushed back to die with him. Kawamoto and the other two boys were able to get on the bus with Takashi's group, however. Just as they were about to leave, they spotted another group of survivors lead by Koichi Shido, the teacher of class 3-A. Despite Rei's protests, Takashi allowed them to board, apparently not witnessing Shido's stomping of one of his students when he fell and sprained his ankle. Shizuka Marikawa drove the bus through the front gates and left the overrun school behind.

After driving for a while, Kawamoto was seen comforting a crying Taniuchi while Tsunoda, another student who came with Shido, complained about being brought into the city without his consent. Shizuka nearly got into an accident with another driver because of his yelling, which caused her to tell him to be quiet. This only got him more angry, causing him to vent his anger out on Takashi.

Trivia

 * During the bus orgy scene in the manga, Kawamoto's tanktop was pink. In the anime it was white.
