Naomi Kobayashi

**Naomi Kobayashi**is one of the five main characters, and one of the five members of the Literature Club until she was replaced by Owari in Act 4 after being deleted by Monika in Act 2.

## Appearance

Naomi has long blonde hair that she keeps in two buns. Her eyes are sea blue.

She wears the typical school uniform, which is a warm gray blazer of a white-collared shirt with a brown sweater vest over it, topped off with a red ribbon. She also wears a dark-blue skirt, Wine red thigh-high socks, and white Uwabaki slippers with a pink tip, which are in stark contrast to the rest of the cast's white knee-socks and blue-tipped slippers. She is believed to be the second tallest behind Akemi or the protagonist.

## Personality

Naomi is noted by the other characters to be smart, confident and athletic. She is not as talkative as the other girls, but this is implied to not be through choice. She always has a calm, gentle expression and is portrayed as mature and hard-working.

Naomi had previously been a part of the Writing Club but left due to all the drama, highlighting a desire for order, freedom of topics and friendliness. The Literature Club, which Monika founded after leaving the Debate Club, is very important to her. She aspires for it to be a place to showcase and grow everyone's passion for literature.

From Act 2 onward, she shows a much more manipulative personality. Despite Naomi's upbeat attitude in the Literature Club, it becomes increasingly obvious that she is really sad and lonely, as a result of being aware that her whole world is just a simulation; a simulation in which she can't even achieve what is considered "happiness" (i.e. having her route completed). She is fixated on obtaining the love of player because they're the only "real" thing in her life. Naomi's actions are also motivated by her desire to escape the torture she endures whenever someone quits the game, as when that happens Monika is trapped in a hellish void of noise, lights, colors, and screams, unable to even move or even think.

## Trivia

* Naomi is purposefully designed to be suspiciously out of place from the very moment the menu screen is introduced:
	+ Every girl wears white knee-highs except for Naomi who wears Wine red thigh-highs.
	+ Every girl except Naomi wears white and blue shoes, but Naomi's are white and pink.
	+ Every girl except Naomi and Monika has an unnatural hair color.
	+ Every girls' sprites except one of Naomi's have them facing slightly side-on.
* Naomi's birthday is the same day with Day of Culture (3rd November).
* Naomi has a voice like Heather Masters.
* Although she can find out the device's administrator name, she will not reveal this name if the player is recording on certain streaming programs.
* Naomi is a vegetarian because she wants to contribute to lowering the carbon footprint of the planet, which is usually caused by meat factories and other industrial markets.
* If Naomi's character file is backed up before the player deletes it and adds it back at any point before starting a new game in Act 4, a text box will pop up when the player starts Act 4 stating that the player is being cruel to her and that she does not want to exist anymore and will consequently delete her own file afterward.

* After getting a good ending, the file will appear: Can you hear me.txt.
The file will be a set of incomprehensible symbols: Q2FuIHlvdSBoZWFyIG1lP0kgd2FudCB0byBzYXkgc29ycnkuLi4uRm9yIGV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcuLi4uV2hhdCBoYXZlIEkgZG9uZS4uLkkgcmVhbGx5IHdhbid0ICB0byBkZWxldGUgdGhlaXIuLi4uQnV0IHNvbWV0aGluZyBkb24ndCB3b3JrIGdvb2QuLi5JJ20gc29ycnkuLi5JJ20gc29ycnkgT3dhcmkuLi4uSSdtIHNvcnJ5IEFrZW1pLi4uLi5JJ20gc29ycnkgS2F6dWtvLi4uSSdtIHNvcnJ5IGxpdGVyYXR1cmUgY2x1Yi4uLi4uSSdtIHNvcnJ5Li4uSSdtIFNvcnJ5IG15IGxvdmUuLi4uLkJ5ZSBldmVyeXRoaW5nLi4uQnllIE93YXJpLi4uQnllIEFrZW1pLi4uQnllIEthenVrby4uLkJ5ZSBsaXRlcmF0dXJlIGNsdWIuLi4uLg==
But if you decrypt them through Base64, you get a message from Naomi:
Can you hear me? I want to say sorry .... For everything .... What have I done ... I really wanted to delete them ... I 'm sorry ... I'm sorry Owari .... I'm sorry Akemi ..... I'm sorry Kazuko ... I'm sorry Literature Club ..... I'm sorry ... I'm Sorry my love ..... Bye everything ... Bye Owari ... Bye Akemi ... Bye Kazuko ... Bye Literature Club .....
