Profile

Appearance

Personality

Nao is described as a polite and straight-laced girl with a soothing presence.

Yakuza 3

Nao is a polite, straight-laced girl. She has a soothing presence and loves children. I also hear that she can’t stand being alone. She’s 25, a Capricorn, and her blood type’s A! Back home, her family are involved in the craft of Ryuku Bingata dyeing. Her favourite food is chicken, but I hear she hates shiitake mushrooms. Heh. Her eyes are absolutely stunning. You’ll be totally entranced by them… maybe forever!

Dialogue Tree

Kinda gets my heart racing. 🤍	I admire those local dialects.	-
	(I’ll say something in Okinawan.)	+
	So you like the way I talk?	+

So, I probably don’t have a type. Or if I do, I have no clue what it is.	How is that possible?	-
	Is it hard for you to reject guys?	+
	You’d go out with someone you didn’t know?	-

What kind of place is Tokyo?	It’s full of people.	+
	It’s full of beautiful women.	+
	It’s full of danger.	-

Yeah… Still doesn’t stop me from wanting one, though.	Then I’ll buy you all the stones you want.	-
	What kind of powers do they come with?	+
	I’d like one of these gemstones myself.	+

At this rate, I’m worried it’ll dry out completely…	I can help with that.	-
	Are you saying you’re lonely?
	You haven’t met anyone good?	+

Yup. It’s hard for me to be affectionate with a partner, so I let them do the work instead 🤍	I see.	-
	Is that a good thing?	-
	What about me?	+

It was hard for the both of us, and we both knew it. I don’t think I could survive a long-distance relationship if that’s how it’s gonna be…	That’s how it goes sometimes.	+
	Do you still think about him?	-
	You didn’t want to chase after him?	-

What kind of reading did she give me?	Something to do with relationships?
	Was it about your finances?	+
	Your life in general?

Sometimes I’ll smell something I really like and smile to myself out of nowhere. ♪	Is smelling really that much fun?	+
	What’s your favourite smell?
	How about my smell?	+

Feng shui can be pretty fun, once you get it down!	Unbelievable.	-
	Prevent cheating, huh…	+
	I’m glad your plant is better.	+

I can’t understand how people eat those fungi… funguses… whatever!	You hate it that much, huh?	-
	Do you hate other mushrooms too?	+
	Not all funguses are bad.	-

And three of them even ordered bingata as their way of helping…	They really helped you out.	-
	You’ve got great friends.	+
	You need to repay them sometime.	-

What kind of women do you like?	That is pretty late.
	You should know by now.	+
	I have pretty high standards.	+

Hey, when you get married, how many kids do you want?	Just one is enough.	-
	I want ten at least.	+
	I’ll let nature decide.

You smell like you ate rafute. And don’t try to hide it!	I haven’t eaten any.
	I might have had some.	-
	That’s just my body odor.	+

The moment I save up enough money, I’m going. ♪	Who are you planning on going with?
	A yukata might look good on you.	+
	I’ll go with you.	-

You know it! Tokyo’s so dreamy… Someday, I’ll be touring the city with the perfect guy, arm in arm and everything. 🤍	Then we should go together.	+
	It has to be Kamurocho for me.
	Tokyo doesn’t really suit me.	-

After First Date

And while I appreciate the fact he’s into me, I’m not really sure how to handle this…	Do you like him to begin with?	-
	You don’t have to force yourself.	-
	Why don’t you wait a bit more?	+

Both he and my mom would always be smiling and laughing… At least that’s what I remember.	Sounds like you had a great father.	+
	You’re lucky to even have parents.	-
	It’s no use dwelling on the past.	+

But if I want to keep his memory alive, I need to learn more about him. So I want to travel there someday.	He loved both your mother and bingata.	-
	You should visit your relatives sometime.	+
	Sounds like something out of a soap opera.	-

I’d want them to grow up respecting their parents, and never have to feel alone.	Sounds like an ideal household.	+
	You must have been pretty lonely.	-
	Children do grow up watching their parents…	+

My mom’s been working hard to clear it all by herself, and I never knew a thing about it.	Try not to blame yourself.	+
	Are you gonna be okay?	-
	I’m sure she’s going through a lot.	-

After Second Date

But I’m glad I talked to you about it first. Thanks, Kiryu-san.	As long as you don’t regret it.
	What reason did you give him?	+
	It’s not still bothering you, is it?	-

But now happiness should come to me twice as quick! 🤍	I’m sure it will.	+
	Don’t get your hopes up.	-
	What a waste.	-

She told me to try and see it from my mom’s perspective… That she’s been working hard not just for me, but for my dad, too…	Your nana is right.
	Then you know what you have to do.	+
	Just be honest with her.
