Nozomi Cobain

**Nozomi Cobain** (born April 19, 1990) is the main character and protagonist of **The Bullshit.** She's the daughter of Japanese sludge metal star Ayane Hichigara and famous guitarist and singer Kurt Cobain. She's among the shortest of the main characters, clocking in at only 5'0 (152 cm). She's known for her family problems during the 1990s, her noted drug use, and her own indie rock band: The Yandere Girls. She's the wife of Sean O'Leary and the mother of Holly O'Leary.

Nozomi suffers from the **Hichigara Syndrome,** a syndrome of the women in the Hichigara family that stops their growth when something eventful happens. Nozomi stopped growing in 2004, when her half-sister Yuri Nakamura, committed suicide.

Nozomi is known for her battles with mental disorders, most notably schizophrenia, which almost led her to killing her own husband, and heroin addiction, which she had ever since she was 17.

## Description

Nozomi is known for being rather angry, aggressive, and prideful. She claims to use drugs as a tool to mask those underlying issues, to no avail. She's also rather lazy and is usually seen as a pretty bad mother, even by her own husband. However, she does have moments of caring for others and commitment to her family, however those moments are relatively scarce.

She had a brief stint with Shinedown singer Brent Smith in 2019, however it was purely to get back at her husband and had no merit.

Nozomi's signature outfit was a distinct difference from the kinderwhore style popular in 1990s Seattle: Cobain was known for wearing the same black flannel, blue skirt, and black thigh-highs under knee-high boots. She also is a fan of extremely baggy shirts.

## Backstory

Nozomi was born in Tacoma, Washington, to Ayane Hichigara and Kurt Cobain. Kurt adored Nozomi and originally wanted to delay the release of his band, Nirvana's, breakthrough 1991 album, *Nevermind*. However, at the whim of DGC Records, he was not granted the stay, and Nirvana released *Nevermind*. Ayane had quit her band, Girl on Run, and moved to Washington to be with Kurt, and Kurt wanted to be home to take care of his wife and daughter. However, touring became a damper on that, and by 1992, Courtney Love had her eye set on Kurt, after a failed stint with Billy Corgan. She released a song with her band, Hole, titled "Doll Parts", a thinly-veiled oddly creepy love letter to Kurt Cobain. Soon after, after Kurt had rejected her for Ayane, Courtney Love went postal. After finding him at a 1992 show in Liverpool, Courtney blackmailed Kurt to leave Ayane for her. To this very day, no one knows what Courtney threatened him with, but it was presumed to deal with the safety of Ayane herself. On December 3, 1992, Cobain divorced Hichigara, splitting the care of Nozomi roughly in half.

Courtney was not fond of Nozomi, seeing her as the other child, and making it clear that her own daughter, Frances Bean, was better than Nozomi in every way. Kurt knew what she was doing, and didn't stop it, writing in a adulterous letter to Hichigara, "I'm no better than she [Courtney] is... she loves Frances more... I love Nozomi more... if anyone asks, Frances isn't my daughter."

By 1994, both of Nozomi's parents' mental health had gone down, and on March 8, 1994, Kurt played his last concert in Munich. Nozomi was backstage there.

On April 5, 1994, while Kurt was alone with Nozomi, Kurt placed Nozomi down in her crib to nap, and when he thought she was sleeping, he committed suicide via a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Nozomi, however, saw everything, and it would affect her later in life.

Nozomi spent three days with no care or supervision, and was nearing death when an electrician stumbled upon the body and baby Nozomi crying next to it on April 8. From there, Courtney wanted nothing to do with Nozomi, and Ayane was given the child Nozomi back.

Ayane was, from what Nozomi calls, a good mother, albeit rather sad. However, after the 1995 incident at a Pearl Jam concert, Ayane gave Nozomi to her good friend Chris Cornell, and attempted suicide via hanging. It didn't work, but ashamed at what she had done, would only sporadically visit her daughter.

Nozomi lived with Chris Cornell for a good portion of her life, but she ran away in 2004, after hearing of her half-sister Yuri Nakamura's death. She lived in Kitsap County, and would steal and trespass to live.

Nozomi says to this very day the memory of her dad's suicide haunts her, however, it is comforting that her dad was revived.

Nozomi has a bitter hatred towards Frances Bean Cobain, seeing her as illegitimate and spoiled.

## Musical endeavors

Nozomi, frontwoman and guitarist for the Yandere Girls, has been described as: indie rock, alternative rock, Alaskan grunge, and hard rock.
