Kazumi is the protagonist of this story, a cheerful and friendly girl who suffers from amnesia, only remembering her name. She is remarkably innocent, sociable, and has a huge appetite, placing great value on food. Her true origin is unique—she is one of several clones made from the corpse of Michiru Kazusa, filled with the flesh of a witch, and can fight using transformation and magic but is technically not a true magical girl at first. She transforms into a strikingly revealing white and black witch-like costume, wielding a cross-shaped staff, and possesses unique magical abilities, including powerful attacks and beastly transformations. Ultimately, she makes a genuine contract with Kyubey, becoming a real magical girl, and starts attending the school of her friends Umika Misaki and Kaoru Maki, using the name "Kazumi Subaru."
Kazumi appears as a young girl with an energetic and charming demeanor. When she transforms, her outfit is a revealing white-and-black dress reminiscent of a witch, finished with bell-shaped earrings and a large cross-shaped staff as her weapon. Her Soul Gem takes the form of earrings, which can detach from her body—Ayase Futaki notes this is a rare Soul Gem format. If the earrings are deactivated, a needle emerges, and they resemble a Grief Seed. After making her contract, her outfit becomes more modest and her staff changes shape. Her Soul Gem's color is pale purple and is worn at her chest in transformed form.
Kazumi radiates optimism and curiosity. Even after losing her memories, she stays bright, sociable, and very trusting of others. She adores food and has been taught to despise those who mistreat it, reflecting her strong values and kind heart. Despite the hardships she faces, she remains lively and pure-spirited.
Kazumi is not a regular human but rather one of the clones crafted from Michiru Kazusa's corpse and packed with witch flesh. Technically, she isn't a true magical girl at first but is endowed with transformation and fighting powers similar to magical girls. Her journey revolves around seeking her identity, discovering her unique origins, and striving to become truly human.
