Kaede Kayano

Kaede Kayano is a student in Class 3-E of Kunugigaoka Junior High School, taught by Korosensei.

Personality
Kayano is one of the more passive members of the class. She frequently acts as support in assassination attempts with her ability to assess the situation and herself. She experiences a slight inferiority complex when it comes to sex appeal, resulting her to get angry whenever there's a woman with big breasts.

Plot
Kaede asked the target teacher what name they should refer him as; he tells her that they can decide. After Terasaka's failed assassination attempt, Kaede says the name she thought of for the teacher: Korosensei. In spite of her main character status, she tends to remain on the background, being geared mainly towards logistical support.

She gets the spotlight on Chapter 80, on which she devised an assasination attempt based on her love of pudding, a trait she shares with Korosensei. Althrough the attempt was unsuccesful, many characters were impressed on how straightforward and well thought the plan was.
