Imoto is a classmate of Sakura Mamiya and Rinne Rokudo, and a former member of the gardening club. She harbors feelings for Tomoo Asazuma, a member of the gardening club.
Imoto once tried to cast a love charm by writing her crush's name on the ground of the sweet potato field using bead fertilizer and then fixing it with special magical water. However, she accidentally erased the name before the ritual was completed. Because of this, the charm transformed and ended up cursing the sweet potatoes in the field.
As a result of the charm's failure, the sweet potatoes turned into mandrakes, and Imoto's shadow started to resemble the shape of a sweet potato. This mysterious curse troubled her and led her to quit the gardening club altogether.
With the help of Sakura Mamiya and Rinne Rokudo, Tomoo Asazuma learned that Imoto's intentions were not malicious—that she hadn’t meant to cast a curse, but was trying to perform a love charm. Realizing her true feelings, Tomoo confessed to Imoto.
Once Imoto and Tomoo’s relationship blossomed, the charm was dispelled and the curse was lifted. Imoto was finally free from the mandrake curse and joyfully rejoined the gardening club.
In the anime adaptation, Imoto appears more frequently as a classmate, giving fans more chances to enjoy her presence and unique personality.
