Harumi, Nagisa
Also known as 晴海なぎさ (Harumi Nagisa)
Hello, My Name (in English) is…
Coming Soon!
Distinguishing Features
Drawn in Tezuka’s “minimalist style”, in her regular plain form, Nagisa has a thicker body form and is primarily recognizable by the distinctive long, straight hairdo with swirls that cover her ears.
Status: Secondary Star (★★)
Nagisa is a singer who has an unusual characteristic – her appearance changes drastically when she gets hungry. Although usually a rather plain and frumpy-looking woman, when she fasts she turns into a beautiful young woman. Because of this unique “talent”, she gets swept up in the seedy “star-making” side of the entertainment business.
Notable Roles
Although she is one of the main characters in Jiletta from Upside Down (1968), her debut work, she has also had a couple of small background roles in Black Jack (1972-83) as well.
