Komari Koshigaya (越谷 小鞠 Koshigaya Komari?) is one of the main characters of the Non Non Biyori series. She is the younger sister of Suguru Koshigaya, the older sister of Natsumi Koshigaya and the eldest girl in their school.

Appearance[]

Komari has waist-length brown hair that has bangs hanging over the left side of her face and emerald green eyes. She wears mostly child-like clothing despite wanting to be seen as an adult. This may be due to the fact that her mother will not buy her new clothes until she grows out of her old ones, such as her school swimsuit. She mostly wears her hair down. She occasionally wears her hair with two small pony tails on the sides. She wears a uniform to school.

Personality[]

Komari is a smart, but insecure girl who wants to be seen as a woman, although she gets easily annoyed by the fact that Hotaru Ichijō both looks and acts more grown-up than her, despite only being in fifth grade. Komari often feels out-of-place among her younger schoolmates, sometimes scorning them for their childish behavior. She is very responsible in her studies but has gotten herself dragged into trouble by Natsumi Koshigaya ever since they were little. Komari is the most superstitious of the main cast and she's easily scared by what she perceives to be supernatural phenomena. Natsumi often takes advantage of this by playing pranks on her.

She never asks for help when trying to acting like a grown-up, which changes later when she tries to cook curry, as she finds that asking for help is not a bad thing.

Quotes[]

  • "Don't call me Koma-chan!"
  • "Autumn, to a grown woman, it's time to breathe a sigh and get sentimental..."
  • "Watashi Koma gurumiiiiii"

Etymology[]

  • The name Komari means "small" (小) (ko) and "ball" (鞠) (mari). Most of the time, the kanji "鞠" (mari) refers to temari (手鞠 temari?), a kind of traditional decorated ball, in Japan today. Though rubber toy balls for children are often called "ゴムまり" (gomu-mari, lit. rubber mari) even today, they hardly call them just "mari" and generally do not write them in kanji form. The balls used in modern ball games (baseball, football, tennis, and so on) are referred to as "ボール" (bōru, a loanword from English "ball").
    • Renge Miyauchi's nickname for her is "Koma-chan" (other characters adopted this nickname too).

Trivia[]

  • Komari was bad at cooking, such as having all the food burnt when she made a bento, but in the third season she improves in her cooking.
  • Komari is approximately 135 cm tall.
  • Komari once misrecognized Hotaru as an adult stranger.
  • Komari padded her height when asked and said it was 140 cm.
  • When Komari is shown lying or disappointed, her eyes become shaped like a cat's eye.
  • Komari loves it when Hotaru Ichijō calls her “Senpai” since it makes her feel more grown.
  • Komari has a plushy bear called Shokichi-San.
  • Komari always uses sunscreen out of fear of UV sun rays (Manga only)

Komari was sold as Nendoroid #1583, which included Shokichi-san.[1]
