Tōtsuki Culinary Academy: Allies and Rivals[]
Erina Nakiri[]
Nao had an unhealthy obsession towards Erina and desired to be her secretary. She had been stalking Erina and wrote 30 letters to her each day.
Hisako Arato[]
Nao resents Hisako and attempts to replace her as Erina's secretary. In middle school, she once challenged Hisako to a shokugeki but lost, and Nao is forced to stay 50 meters away from Erina. During the 43rd Annual Tōtsuki Autumn Election, they face each other again, but Nao has lost again. When Nao tastes Hisako's dish, she is temporarily "exorcised", and her admiration of her has developed, much to Hisako's confusion.
Sōma Yukihira[]
When Nao meets Sōma, they start to bond over sharing the same interest in making disgusting dishes. Afterwards, she even forgives him for spending the whole week with Hisako.
