Description
Kaoru Natashou is a supporting character in the anime Princess Princess, serving as the dedicated and highly skilled costume designer for the school’s Princesses. He is a student at the all-boys academy, a member of the home economics club which he leads with great flair, and the creative force behind the elaborate outfits worn by the princesses for their various events and morale-boosting performances.
In terms of personality, Natashou is defined by his single-minded and overwhelming passion for clothing. He is portrayed as extremely egotistical and self-absorbed, with an over-enthusiastic and over-the-top demeanor that makes him stand out in every scene he appears in. His primary motivation is not the well-being of the princesses themselves, but his own artistic and fashion-driven fantasies. He draws inspiration from the faces of his subjects, and his enthusiasm for creating their outfits is compared to adoration or even fetishism. He is utterly consumed by his work, caring about little else besides the clothes he designs. Despite his flamboyant egotism, Natashou is a recognized genius in his craft, and his intense, self-centered nature is not disliked by his fellow club members or other students.
Natashou’s role in the story is intrinsically linked to the Princess System. He is not a Princess himself but an essential behind-the-scenes figure, using his talents to provide the costumes that are central to the princesses’ duties. His aesthetic is notably specific, leaning towards an Elegant Gothic Lolita style, creating frilly, poofy, and intricate designs that range from gothic maid outfits to nurse uniforms and Alice in Wonderland-themed costumes. His dedication to realizing his fashion fantasies is unparalleled, adding a layer of creative chaos and humor to the narrative.
His key relationships center on the princesses, primarily Tooru Kouno, Mikoto Yutaka, and Yuujirou Shihoudani, for whom he creates his elaborate designs. While he supports their efforts, his primary relationship is with his art. He also works under the direction of the student council, but his driving force remains internal, fueled by his own inspiration and desires. As a character, Natashou does not undergo significant emotional development; his role is more static, providing a consistent source of eccentric genius and comic relief. His notable abilities lie in costume design and construction. He is a prodigy in this field, able to create complex, themed outfits that dictate the aesthetic of the Princesses’ appearances. He also leads the home economics club, putting their facilities and members to work as his assistants in bringing his visions to life. He is a male teenager with brown eyes and brown hair that extends to his neck, and he is typically seen wearing glasses.
