Hazama is a quiet girl who loves reading, preferring to sit in the shade with a book rather than swim during summer gym classes and wants to become a librarian. She even recommended to Itona the novel, The Count of Monte Cristo, though accidentally spoiled the ending. She prefers dark stories and horror novels, and because of this also has an interest in the occult which she displayed when she attempted to use a curse on Korosensei. Oddly, she also seems to take great pleasure in scaring and disturbing others, admitting that she'd been scaring people on roadsides since she was a child. Her script for Class E's play was also very grim and depressing, taking pride in disturbing the school so much that they lost their appetites. It is hinted she has some home troubles, her mother being hysterical and prone to screaming fits when she meets something she doesn't like.
