Movie
Description
Himawari Nohara, born September 27, 1996, is the infant daughter of the Nohara family. Her name, meaning "sunflower," was selected from over 107,000 viewer submissions offering 2,807 suggestions. Despite her newborn status, she exhibits a precocious and vibrant personality, displaying increasing intelligence throughout the series. She demonstrates a notable attraction to shiny objects, especially jewels and brand-name goods, with the ability to distinguish genuine gems from imitations. She shares her mother's tendency for stubbornly pursuing handsome young men, a trait her older brother Shinnosuke exploits to pacify her using cutout masks of attractive actors.
Within the family, she is both adored and a source of unintentional trouble due to her infantile innocence. She possesses remarkable crawling speed capable of exhausting older children and frequently interacts with the family dog Shiro as a plaything. Her personality mirrors aspects of Shinnosuke's mischievous nature, including a shared dislike of onions that often results in parental reprimands. Despite sibling rivalry, she maintains a close bond with Shinnosuke and frequently emulates his behavior.
In the film *Crayon Shin-chan: The Adult Empire Strikes Back*, Himawari becomes entangled in a crisis where adults regress to childlike states due to nostalgia. She accompanies Shinnosuke and his friends during their rescue efforts, participating in their escape and seeking refuge in a department store. Her presence contributes to the family's success in confronting the antagonists and restoring reality. During a pivotal scene, her father Hiroshi abandons nostalgic fantasies upon recalling his present family responsibilities, including Himawari and Shinnosuke.
One future portrayal in *Super-Dimension! The Storm Called My Bride* depicts Himawari at approximately 20 years old working as a police officer, retaining her characteristic facial expressions when encountering attractive men. Another film, *Fierceness That Invites Storm! Me and the Space Princess*, centers on aliens identifying her as prophesied royalty from the planet Himawari due to her name coinciding with a rare planetary alignment. This leads to her temporary abduction and coronation as princess, causing family distress and motivating Shinnosuke's efforts to retrieve her. The resolution confirms her importance to family cohesion when production of "happiness bubbles" doubles through the combined presence of both siblings.
In the spin-off *Oh Oh Oh no Shinnosuke*, she appears in an alternative setting involving monster versions of the Nohara family during their search for her mother. Her relationships extend beyond family; Masao Sato views her as a sister figure aspiring to be called "Masao onii-chan," while Toru Kazama envisions future marriage despite their current sibling-like dynamic.
Throughout her appearances, Himawari does not speak verbally; her thoughts and communications are conveyed through subtitles. Her character evolves from a newborn to a more intelligent infant across the series, with occasional explorations of her personality at age five in special manga chapters depicting chaotic behavior exceeding even Shinnosuke's tolerance levels.
