Hitori Bocchi

* Anime
* Manga

**Hitori Bocchi** (一里ぼっち, *Hitori Bocchi*) is one of the main characters of the *Hitoribocchi no OO Seikatsu* series.

## Appearance

Hitori Bocchi is a generally normal looking girl with dark brown hair with slightly side-swept bangs, pink eyes and a commonly worn pink cherry blossom hairpin on the left of her face which forms a small ponytail on the left side of her head. When she goes to school she usually wears the school uniform on her torso, a medium length skirt over her legs, short, black stockings and brown shoes.

When at home, she wears her "serious" outfit. Which is actually just a bear onesie.

## Personality

Bocchi is shy and has extreme social anxiety. A kind person and clumsy at times. She cries frequently, her legs cramp when she gets nervous, and she faints from happiness and excitement. It's challenging for her to talk with new people. Bocchi, however, wants to be able to have fun interacting with friends. She does everyday things in quirky ways, doing things like making scripts for daily conversations, only for it to fail. Her favorite food is rice with natto (finely crushed).

## Relationships

### Yawara Kai

Kai is Hitori Bocchi's childhood friend. Kai is what motivated Bocchi to make friends with people in her class. It seems that they have a strong bond, but despite that, Kai wants Bocchi to make more friends.

### Sunao Nako

At first, Bocchi thought Nako was scary. After Bocchi barfed, Nako called her "Barf", and even so, Bocchi was just glad about the fact that someone talked to her. She had gave Nako a drink after quoting her grandmother (as a gift), Nako asked if she wanted to be a gofer. "Would a gofer count as being friends?", was Bocchi's response, as she desperately wanted to be Nako's friend. Nako then becomes Hitori's friend after walking in the rain with her.

### Honshou Aru

Bocchi's first real meeting with Aru happened at one of the staircases in the school when Bocchi had found herself within a little feud with her first friend, Sunao Nako. While Aru was helping Bocchi, she came over as a very responsible and wise representative, which just added to the surprise when she came out to be a total klutz. This, however, did not prevent Bocchi from still wanting to be a friend of Aru, as Bocchi still thought of Aru as a nice and cute person. Eventually winning Aru over with her persistence.

### Sotoka Rakita

Sotoka meets with Bocchi after seeing her sneak out of her house, mistaking her for a ninja. After Bocchi explains that she is not a ninja, Sotoka looks disappointed and leaves. Later, in an attempt to befriend her, Bocchi makes a paper shuriken with "I'm not a ninja, but can we be friends?" and hits her with it. Upon reading it however, Sotoka becomes utterly convinced that Bocchi's a ninja and that she's trying to tell her about her "secret". Afterwards, Sotoka becomes Bocchi's "disciple". They only officially become friends after Sotoka herself asks Bocchi to be her friend.
