Description
Nanako Kogure is a second-year film student at Ōnaka University of Arts living in Share House Kitayama with other main characters. Originally from Shiga Prefecture, she presents as a gyaru with long strawberry-blond hair, usually tied in a ponytail using a green hair tie, and possesses striking red eyes. Her typical outfit consists of a short denim jacket, a white v-neck shirt, mustard pants, and dark faded pink shoes, while her part-time job at a convenience store requires a black and red jacket uniform.
Though initially aspiring to be an actor, Nanako secretly yearns to sing but conceals this passion due to deep insecurities about her vocal abilities. Outwardly sociable, upbeat, and humorous—often engaging in playful teasing with housemate Tsurayuki Rokuonji—she harbors internal shyness and innocence, especially regarding romance, blushing visibly when embarrassed and fluctuating between boldness and timidity. This emotional vulnerability contrasts with her physical assertiveness and notable punching strength, frequently demonstrated on Tsurayuki during arguments.
Kyoya Hashiba's encouragement becomes pivotal, helping Nanako confront her lack of confidence and seriously pursue singing. She begins performing anime songs at events like school festivals, embracing cosplay and karaoke without hesitation. In her original 2016 future, she achieves fame as the popular singer N@NA. However, temporal alterations from Kyoya's time travel significantly alter this path; in a revised 2018 timeline, her music career stagnates as she streams covers on Nico Nico Douga without gaining traction, nearly quitting before finding renewed determination to continue.
Nanako develops romantic feelings for Kyoya, which intensify as he aids her growth. These feelings remain unreciprocated in one altered reality where Kyoya marries Aki Shino, leaving Nanako a hopeless suitor. Despite this emotional setback, her resolve endures; even when her professional path falters in restructured timelines, she draws motivation from past connections to persevere.
Trivia notes include her habit of going barefoot at home in specific casual outfits and kneeling without footwear. Her given name combines "apple tree" (奈) and "child" (子), while her surname Kogure means "small" (小) and "living/livelihood" (暮).
