Sayako Kuwahara is a sophomore in high school known for her unpredictability and spontaneity, frequently shifting her interests and ambitions. In her freshman year, she joined the Kendo Club but occasionally vanished for short durations, declaring she was quitting. She has been friends with Kirino since elementary school, who affectionately calls her "Saya." Among the team members, Sayako stands out as one of the tallest, leading others to jokingly refer to her as a boy. After receiving some brief coaching from Tamaki, Sayako showed remarkable improvement in her footwork. Like Kirino, Sayako finds Tamaki cute and they both sometimes engage in playful antics with her, such as messing with Tamaki's hair, ignoring her kendo lectures, or challenging her to fights purely for amusement.
Despite her playful nature, Sayako tends to be quite pessimistic, often claiming she wants to die the moment she fails at something. In the anime, her passion for writing emerges when she tells elaborate stories, like explaining Asuma's departure from kendo in a dramatic manner (though her friends rated her story poorly, finding it uninteresting). During competitions, Sayako plays the position of Center (Chuken).
