- "I think that klutzes are cute! To be honest, I tossed your notebook into a bucket full of water earlier... Klutzes are cute, right?"
― Aya says to Yōko.
Aya Komichi (小路 綾 Komichi Aya) is one of the main character of Kin-iro Mosaic series.
Appearance
In the anime, Aya has long blue hair tied into pigtails. Matching her hair, her eyes are blue as well. Excluding the summer, her school uniform consists of a thick navy sweater with a pink-red striped bow tie and a white collared shirt underneath. She wears the same standard skirt as everyone else in the school along with a pair of long black tights. In the summer, she wears a black sweater vest on top of a short sleeved white collared shirt and instead of tights, she opts for long black socks.

For casual wear, she is occasionally seen wearing a sun-dress.
Personality
Aya is a graceful and timid girl who gets embarrassed quite easily. She is a tsundere to everyone except Shinobu and comes off cold, especially towards Yōko. She is a serious girl who works very hard with school work, focusing on it a lot more then the rest of the cast. At times, Aya can be sarcastic, dense and even clueless, and has a tendency to ruin beautiful moods when she is unable to read the atmosphere currently present.
While Aya may seem like the 'perfect person', there are instances where the other members of the cast perform tasks better than she does. Aya is also surprisingly nonathletic and has a hatred towards running.
Aya has been friends with Shinobu and Yōko ever since middle school. At first she was very dependent on Yōko and took a long time to do anything without her. However, Aya strongly denies this out of embarrassment. She also demonstrates many tsundere tendencies towards Yōko, such as hitting her when she 'unintentionally' flirts with or teases her. Aya is closest to Yōko than anyone else in the group. Because of Aya's thoughts and behavior towards Yōko, it's pretty obvious that she has feelings for her.
Manga
In the manga, Aya is no different than how she is in the anime. She can be considered quite a strange person. In one case, she accidentally tosses Yōko's notebook into a bucket with water. When she runs into Yōko (who had just seen Alice trip onto the ground), Aya brings up that klutzes are cute, to which she continues with explaining what had happened to Yōko's notebook. Aya once again repeats her point saying, "Klutzes are cute, right?", causing Yōko to retort with, "No cheating!"
While Aya is level headed most of the time, she can be quite panicky whenever Yōko unintentionally makes her heart flutter. For example, Yōko forgets her lunch because she was in a hurry. She asks Aya for some of her lunch, and the latter agrees. However, as Aya is about to feed Yōko, she envisions a "bakappuru" (lit. stupid couple) feeding one another, causing Aya to feel flustered, as she is comparing her situation to a romantic one.
In one chapter, Yōko receives what she assumes is a love letter in her shoe locker. Alice and Karen praise her for it, but Aya is in denial, trying to list possibilities of what it actually could be. Throughout the day, Aya stalks Yōko everywhere, in hopes that the latter would open the letter, but much to Aya's dismay, she doesn't. Later, when Aya finally asks for Yōko to open it (at this point, Yōko has completely forgotten about it), Yōko reveals that she doesn't really care for what the letter says - she likes her more anyway. This causes Aya to blush. Yōko opens the letter, only to find that Shinobu had wrote it and for an entirely different reason. As Aya and Yōko are walking home with Alice and Karen, Aya teases Yōko by saying that there was no way Yōko could get a love letter. At this point, Aya is noticeably happy and Alice and Karen notice this too.

Trivia
- Aya's blood type is A. Yōko (whose blood type is O) points out that people who have type O and type A are compatible.
- Aya is implied to be a bad singer in both the manga and anime. She admits to being tone-deaf, while the others just say her singing is very "Aya-like". But during Shino's story in episode 12, and the Opening and Ending themes she sings fine.
- She likes any kind of romance story as mentioned by Yōko in episode 8.
