Kuri (くり), was a minor character who appeared in both the first season of the Sailor Moon anime and the first arc of the manga. She was a friend and classmate of Usagi and Naru at Juuban Municipal Junior High School. Kuri and her friend Yumiko usually appeared as "filler" characters until the other Sailor Senshi were introduced, and often provided information about new places, people, and events. Kuri was one of the girls who attended the Crystal Seminar and fell prey to Jadeite's plan to gather energy there, and in episode 7 she and Yumiko were hypnotized by Derella and took part in the Cinderella Caravan talent search. She disliked Ami, and referred to her as a snob.
