Arisu Sakayanagi is the daughter of Chairman Sakayanagi. She leads Class A, along with Katsuragi, who always has a contradicting outlook toward her plans, intellect, and strategies.

Their followers and allies often clash with one another, leading to complex situations that would make Class A look bad toward other classes.

When Arisu first appeared in the Classroom of the Elite anime, she was discussing the school system with the Student Council.

She has an intimidating presence about her, even though she has a very adorable face worthy of becoming an idol.

Then, Arisu got into an argument with Class C’s Ryuen, who disliked her sly and cunning personality.

Arisu has always looked down on vulgar students like Ryuen, and the latter vowed to bring her down along with her entire class, much to Arisu’s delight.

Noticeably, Arisu can’t walk properly due to her sickness. She always walks with a cane, with her supporters assisting her along the way.

She can’t even join the sports festival, but it doesn’t matter as long as she has everything going according to her plans.
