[edit] Overview
Natsumi is a short-tempered girl who is extremely athletic, cute, and smart. She can be very scary and violent when in anger mode, but can also be very sweet and brave. She can be sarcastic and careless sometimes when she's trying to enjoy herself and seems to be a pretty big video game fan, but cares deeply about her family (and her surrogate alien "family" members). Natsumi is pretty popular in school due to her amazing strength, but at grade school, she was nicknamed 'Devil Summer' in the manga because of her short temper until she became more mature in middle school. Like any other 14-year-old girl, she has some insecurities, especially around Saburo, whom she has a huge crush on, and has a girly-girl side. Natsumi seems to have a city-girl side, because when downtown Tokyo was in a power surge in an incredibly hot summer day, she looked really desperate and cried for help. She likes to listen to Mustumi-san's radio show, but whenever she tries to listen to her letters that she sent there, she always gets interrupted. At school, she's friends with Yayori and Satsuki, and especially Koyuki, and shows her around the city part of Tokyo (which Koyuki is completely unaware of), and becomes a real friend to Koyuki. She's rivals with Keroro and calls him 'boke gaeru' (stupid frog) all the time. The only time when she called Keroro by his real name was when he defeated her in a swimming contest fair and square and decided to call a truce (until they were interrupted by Tamama) and when he joined the Garuru Platoon and Natsumi tried to snap him out of it. Ironically, she was the first one to discover Keroro at episode 1 and chapter 1 (so she can awake the alien- obsessed Fuyuki), who was hiding at Fuyuki's bedroom wall, unaware that is was the biggest mistake she had ever made. She is suspicious of Keroro and the rest of his alien squad (except Mois), but then got used to their presence and kind of treats Keroro as a friend/slave and puts him down with most of the house chores, and even developed some feelings for Giroro. She is later given a neck brace invented by Kururu that transforms her and gives her the powers of a real-life Gundam and uses the neck brace whenever the team could use her help. Her favorite food is baked sweet potatoes that Giroro makes and her weakness is anything that's creepy-crawly (especially slugs). Natsumi's name means '723' and 'summer beauty'. She has the word 'summer' in English on her bedroom door, and is part of the kaito team, 'MorePeachSummerSnow'.
[edit] Relationships
[edit] The Hinatas
Natsumi is extremely protective of her family, especially Fuyuki, since their mother is rarely around and her father is only shown briefly in flashbacks, so he could possibly be deceased. Natsumi gets along well with her brother and they love each other as siblings. She longs for her mother to be with the family during holidays and would sometimes be very upset because of it, but would hide her tears away from others. Despite her mother's regular absence, Natsumi loves and cares about Aki very much. She also cares dearly about her grandmother, Akina, who lives in the country.
[edit] The Keroro Platoon
At first, Natsumi is greatly suspicious about the Keroro Platoon, especially their leader, Keroro. Ironically, Natsumi was the one who pointed out Keroro's hiding spot in Fuyuki's bedroom to wake up her oversleeping brother, thus revealing Keroro from hiding. Natsumi is Keroro's main obstacle in his plot to take over the world, so to take Keroro's mind off of world conquest, Natsumi put most of the house chores to Keroro. She is majorly annoyed by Keroro and his plans for world domination, but made another ironic point when she reminded the alien platoon of their true purpose to rule Earth when they completely forgot about it. However, Natsumi and Keroro really do get along well once she got used to his presence and would sometimes look up to each other as surrogate siblings. Natsumi likes Giroro because of his occasional kind behavior to her while Giroro is secretly in love with her. Natsumi both thought in the anime and manga that Tamama was kind of cute, but this thought faded when Natsumi saw the other side of Tamama. Eventually, the two learned to get along, as long as Natsumi didn't make him angry. Like all of the other caharacters (except Saburo), Natsumi thought of Kururu as an insensitive inventor, but they would make a temporary truce with each other at extreme emergencies. Natsumi and Dororo's friendship is very remote like the others, but doesn't think of Dororo as a threat like his teammates as he saved her more than once from Dasu no Maso. She and Mois are also close friends and she trusts her like a normal person, maybe because of Mois's appearance and innocent nature.
[edit] Azumaya Koyuki
After meeting for the first time as a new student in Natsumi's class, Koyuki takes some interest to her after smelling "city scent" from her and observing her athletic skills, leaving both Koyuki and Natsumi to be impressed by one another. Later on, as Natumi learns that Koyuki was Dororo's partner, they spend more time with each other, and later, Natsumi becomes great friends with Koyuki while the girl ninja starts to have a crush on her friend and wants to get close to her. Natsumi mentors Koyuki about city life and the ways of Tokyo civilians and its culture since Koyuki lived much of her life away from all of it. Natsumi may be unaware of her friend's crush on her, but the two still remain a strong friendship.
[edit] Mutsumi Saburo
Natsumi has a notable and humongous crush on Mutsumi Saburo(which she refers to as Saburo-senpai), a senior at her school. However, due to Saburo skipping his classes most of the time, he is thought as a gang member to his classmates. But even with these rumors(and that her friends said that Saburo wasn't fit for her), Natsumi feels amorous feelings for the boy and learns about his kind side. Saburo doesn't seem to notice Natsumi's feelings for him, but thinks of her as a good friend and retains a good-natured friendship with her. Natsumi also is a big fan of Saburo's (anonymous in the anime) radio counterpart, Mutsumi-san, like many other girls, and is yet to discover his alter-ego.
[edit] Corporal Giroro
At first, she'd distrusted Giroro like all the other frogs--especially since he almost blew up her house upon first visit. She soon learned of his magnificent sweet potato roasting skills and his tendency to come to her aid several times, and seems to have warmed up to him. However, she's still blissfully unaware of his undying love for her.
