Kozue Tanabe (田辺 梢, Tanabe Kozue) is a minor character in Shinryaku! Ika Musume.

Appearance[]

Kozue wears a red dress, which coincidentally, is similar to that of Ika Musume's dress. It is implied that she also comes from the sea, as she has a hat similar to Ika's and makes statements that indicate she isn't human.

Plot[]

Kozue appears only twice in the manga. In her first appearance, she reaches out to a depressed Ika Musume. Though it is unclear whether she has met Ika before, Kozue does deduce that Ika is a sea-dweller like her. She departs by saying that Ika is not alone. This chapter is adapted for the final episode of Season 1, in which more context is given to Ika's depression - that she lost her squid-based abilities.

Kozue's second appearance in the anime is the finale of Season 2. She appears holding an umbrella during a sudden rain shower at the location of a summer festival, having seen Eiko Aizawa wade into a nearby pond in search for Ika. After helping Eiko out of the pond, she gives away her umbrella to Eiko and directs her to Ika's whereabouts. This suggests that Kozue met Ika for a second time.

Kozue's second and last manga appearance, in the Volume 22 omake, has her visit the Lemon Beach House to order takoyaki. It is this appearance that also confirms the species she is based from.

Trivia[]

  • The first syllables of her name spell out 'tako' (たこ?), meaning octopus.
