Appearance
Seiko is a tall woman with purple eyes and a sickly complexion. She has a pale grey hair and a respirator mask covering her mouth. She wears a dark-colored jacket, with the Future Foundation ID pinned to the lapel, a white dress shirt, a dark miniskirt held by a purple belt, long black stockings, and purple Mary Janes. She also wears purple gloves with a single white stripe in the middle. Her eyes give her a frightening look. It was also shown in the first episode for some unknown reason her eyes turn a darker shade of purple.

Personality
Seiko is stated to have a reserved personality and a stilted way of speaking. As a pharmacist, she has an extensive knowledge of medicine and drugs.

Much like Kyoko Kirigiri, she is conscious of how easy it is for people to guess what she is thinking through her facial expressions, so she hides her face behind a mask. It was also shown that she gets startled easily. When a member slammed their hands on the table she was the first to react, her eyes widening in surprise.

Seiko is shown to be one of the more compassionate members of Future Foundation, as she shows remorse over both Chisa Yukizome and Daisaku Bandai's deaths. She is shown to hate not being able to help her comrades, as she appears angry at herself for not being able to save Daisaku.

Prior to the Tragedy
Seiko was scouted to attend Hope's Peak as part of the 76th Class as the Ultimate Pharmacist. After attending, she graduated alongside Ruruka Ando and Sonosuke Izayoi an estimated 2-3 years before the Tragedy. During that time, she had worked with Teruteru Hanamura in developing soup that can cause increase strength.

Due to an unknown event, Seiko and Ruruka both felt betrayed by one another in some way, causing a rift in their friendship.

Seiko attended Makoto's trial along with the other ten Division leaders of Future Foundation. At some point during the discussion, Seiko agreed with Juzo Sakakura's statement to exterminate all of the Remnants of Despair and therefore, should execute Makoto who were protecting them. Soon after his arrival, Makoto was injured by Juzo and Kyosuke Munakata agreed to postponed the trial.

Seiko remained inside the boardroom until an attack launched by the enemy. Seiko suspected that among their groups, someone had already told their location to the enemy. As a strange little ball with Monokuma's design was suddenly thrown inside the room, she was the first one to notice that it was actually filled with sleeping gas. She and the others were quickly rendered to sleep before they could contact to the HQ.

After she woke up, Seiko and the others found a Monokuma bracelet had been set up on their wrists. Monokuma, who had been resurrected, announced the Final Killing Game featuring the Division leaders of Future Foundation. This started when Chisa's body fell from the ceiling.

Ruruka Ando
