Ayukawa Madoka is the big question mark in Kimagure Orange Road's love triangle. She's Hiyama Hikaru's best friend, and Kasuga Kyousuke in definitely in love with her. But she's aloof, mysterious, and not at all forthcoming - completely the opposite of Hikaru.

She's also beautiful.

But I digress.

In any case, Ayukawa is problematic - she can be charming and wonderful when she wants to be, but something's stopping her, and we don't really know what. All that we know is that Ayukawa is good at everything - she's a talented musician, she can fight, she can ride horseback, lasso, ski, do CPR, and make curry rice (mmmm) - I mean anything an episode might call for, Ayukawa can do.

Which is a bit cheesy, but oh well.

In any case, she is the conflict that keeps KOR going for 48 TV episodes, four OAVs, and two movies. Fans of the show can debate the "Madoka or Hikaru" question endlessly. He

Her voice actor was Tsuru Hiromi.
