Sawako

Sawako (佐和子) is one of the main protagonists in Koro's Big Day Out. She has a pet dog named Koro. Sawako first appears getting ready to go to school but her efforts are briefly hindered by Koro trying to follow her out of the house. She catches her beloved puppy in the act and briefly tickles his tummy before setting off for school. Unfortunately, Sawako forgets to close the front gate and this allows Koro to escape and run away from home.

Appearance
Sawako wore a blue dress and a beige-yellow shirt underneath and carried a pink bag and red ruck-sack. By the time Sawako was reunited with Koro, she wore a yellow dress.

Etymology
