Shouno, Natsuko
Summary
Natsuko Shouno hails from Tennōji-ku in Osaka, Japan, and makes her debut in Chapter 16 of the manga and Episode 4 of the anime. Working as a young reporter for Weekly Hero, she eventually becomes the girlfriend of Terryman. She is rarely depicted without her signature newsboy cap and camera in hand. Characterized as a tomboy, she dresses in bellbottoms and a tank top during the earlier chapters, later switching to overalls and a sweater during the Choujin Olympics arc. Natsuko is intensely possessive of Terryman, occasionally resorting to violence against his female admirers, including Nakano-san, if they get too close to him. The anime emphasizes their romance by frequently showing them on dates, with Natsuko taking a keen interest in his battles, a dynamic reminiscent of Sayuri Kinniku’s support for Kinnikuman.
