Emi has a happy-go-lucky personality despite having no legs. She is highly energetic, which can occasionally cause her injury when running, much to the [[Nurse]]'s dismay. She is playful and willing to try new things, which can sometimes lead to humorous situations. Despite her normally cheery personality, she finds it hard to truly rely on other people, and is very stubborn. | {{Quote|That's what everyone always says, that they're sorry. I hate hearing that. Like anyone could have done anything to change what happened. You know the best piece of advice I got? “These things happen.” I don't even remember who said it, but I guess they didn't have anything better to say. But it's true, you know? These things happen, and there's nothing you can do about it. They aren't necessarily planned, and they aren't always bad, and they aren't always good, but they are. So I made the decision that I would live without worrying about the future. And to be sure that I never had to say goodbye again, I decided I wouldn't let people get close to me any more. After all, they could be taken away at any time.|Emi talks about the past with Hisao}}Emi has a happy-go-lucky personality despite having no legs.

Eight years ago, at the age of eleven, Emi was in a fatal car accident that robbed her not only of her legs, but also of her father. With her convalescence taking over a year, she was held back a grade and as such is the oldest of Hisao's five potential love interests, despite physically appearing to be the youngest. She underwent extensive rehabilitation during this time, including relearning how to walk, which was overseen by the [[Nurse]], hence their friendly relationship. | Eight years ago, at the age of eleven, Emi was in a fatal car accident that robbed her not only of her legs, but also of her father.

Emi is running in the halls and crashes into [[Hisao Nakai]]. At first, Hisao is scared for his heart, remembering his cardiologist's warning to "not get hit in the chest". (If [[Shizune Hakamichi]] is with him, she scolds her for running in the halls.) She apologizes profusely and then runs off again. Later, the Nurse confronts Hisao about his lack of exercise. Hisao asks him how he knows and he confesses to using "a spy" (who is later revealed to be Emi) to keep tabs on him. | Emi is running in the halls and crashes into [[Hisao Nakai]].
