Nao Inabe is the stern and cocksure right front player for Aota Academy's girls' volleyball team. Outwardly assertive with a notably mature demeanor, she is determined and unafraid to speak her mind. These traits earn her significant respect, making her the team's second-most admired player after Shou Marui. She has neck-length red hair, purple eyes, and is consistently depicted wearing a hairband with a visible mole.

Her focused athleticism is evident during championship preparations, especially when the coach disappears after intervening to protect a teammate. In his absence, Nao steps up, attempting to maintain team cohesion and focus amidst external challenges, highlighting her determination and sense of responsibility within the group dynamic.
