==History==
Nozomi was born in Vancouver, Canada and moved to Yokosuka, where her grandmother Toki Aida lives, when she was a junior high school student. Nozomi was said to be as honest as Ryo, she is fluent in both English and Japanese and hopes to become a Japanese/English interpreter or translator in the future. Nozomi thought that this is quite nervous, even if they should be easy to admire her and guarantee the dream.
When her Japanese classmates was bullied her, discriminating against her because of the different way she did things due to her different cultures. At the time, Ryo often stand up for her. Her love for him has grown over the years, she is going to confess her love to him. Nozomi has returned to Japan where she attended school with Ryo and continued to help operate her grandmother's flower shop, Aida Florist.
On the day of the incident, Nozomi became extremely angry when she got splashed with mud by a speeding black car which got away and she never received an apology, it is revealed she has a tense relationship with her mother and they argue a lot. Nozomi and Megumi saw a kitty still on the roof, but the kitty sneaked off the roof and Megumi should thank to her for helped. However, she gets kidnapped by Mad Angels but was rescued by Ryo.
==Personality==
Nozomi is very mature and wise beyond her age. However, she apparently believes in the power of good luck charms; one could interpret this as her being a bit naive, more on the "emotional" over "logical" side, or merely superstitious at the least.
Nozomi is shown to have great internal strength and courage, as evidenced by her defending a child being hassled by two thugs and warning them they will regret it if they lay a single finger on her.
