**Nozomi Kaminashi** (神無 のぞみ, *Kaminashi Nozomi*) is the main protagonist of *Keijo!!!!!!!!*. She was a student at Setouchi Keijo Training School. She previously resided in Room 309 before being promoted to the Elite Class.

Upon graduating from Setouchi, Nozomi officially becomes a B-Rank Keijo player, affiliated with the Kansai's Hyougo Branch. After her winless start in the professional world of Keijo, Nozomi tries to seek a mentor to guide her. After meeting Sumire Sakuragi, Nozomi asks Sumire to become her mentor. Although Sumire initially refused, Sumire is later willing to become soeur with her.

After her match with Sayaka Miyata, Nozomi is able to advance to the A-Rank. Sometime later, Nozomi and Sayaka start to stay in the Garden Worth, a lodging for Keijo players, where they reunite with Hanabi Kawai and Saya Kogatana.

## Appearance

Nozomi has navy blue eyes and long dark blue hair that she usually keeps in a ponytail, tied in a white ribbon. She has two visible *ahoge* on top of her head. When training, Nozomi prefers the dark blue version of the school swimsuit. Nozomi wears a white ribbon, due to this characteristic people call her the "Ribbon Girl".

## Personality

Nozomi is a very energetic and lively girl with a deep love for Keijo, her friends and her family. While she seems somewhat greedy and dim, she mainly wants to become a rich Keijo player to get her family out of poverty and is actually quite clever, observant and creative, enabling her to figure out her opponent's technique's and counter them. She is also somewhat eccentric as she does silly things from time to time but in a Keijo match she is fiercely determined and does not back down no matter what. Nozomi is also sociable to people she first met and supportive of her friends. She tries to help them out however she can, despite annoying them from time to time.

Born in Kobe, Nozomi speaks in Kansai dialect, referring to herself as "uchi" (うち), instead of the formal standard "watashi" (わたし). Due to her poverty, Nozomi shows unusual tendencies when it comes to saving money. For example, Nozomi will negotiate with sellers in order to get the best price.

Nozomi often does shameless things: such as showing her *pantsu* to others, stripped herself naked without explaining anything in front of her friend. Nozomi is also not bothered to take off her bikini tops, albeit there are reasons behind this: first when she avoids Sayaka from using her Judo skills to throw her away, and second to find out Fuyuyu Tsurugi's main ability (using the metalic part of her swimsuit to trigger Fuyuyu's electricity).

Nozomi cares deeply about her comrades, and is willing to help them in any way. For example, helping Saya Kogatana with her breast damage: Nozomi attempts to invent new techniques. Another example is when Kotone Fujisaki almost gets defeated, Nozomi cheers her up, going as far to tell that they are going to aim higher. Nozomi is also known for being a motivator, as she motivates Kotone who had no interest to participate in Keijo's race. Nozomi also motivates Usagi Tsukishita, who decides to become a Keijo player just because she adores Mio Kusakai, giving her a new reason to participate in Keijo. Additionally, Nozomi also motivates Maya Sakashiro to have a rematch with her, which replied by Maya that she would love to do it.

## Background

At some point, her mother was hospitalized. Around at age 6, her mother eventually passed away, while Nozomi helplessly cried. Right before her death, Mitsuki told Nozomi, as the eldest daughter, to take care of her siblings. Nozomi and her siblings then lived in a very poor condition. Due to this poverty, Nozomi kept working hard, to the point where her friends said that her body never stopped moving. Nozomi attended Shinkou High School in Kobe. Upon entering Shinkou, Nozomi has became a pretty skilled gymnast. Thus Nozomi was invited by colleges with the best gymnastic programs. However, Nozomi then learned about Keijo, a gambling, water sport, knowing that its players got paid so much if they win in the large scale tournaments. As such, Nozomi refused all offers of joining athletics college and decided to become a Keijo player in order to bring her family out of poverty.

During the Hip-Toss training Nozomi figures out Kazane Aoba's main ability, who is capable of predicting the landing spot by using her "Scanning Hand". On the class exchange match, she manages to figure out that Kotone Fujisaki is moving based on the Land's vibration due to her sensitivity, as such she knows that the vibration itself is her weakness, deciding to put a vibrating sensation on her butt to counter Kotone.
