@saintakeboshi: Osaka is one of the main characters in the Azumanga Daioh manga and its anime adaptation Azumanga Daioh: The Animation. She is introduced as a transfer student from Osaka, Japan. Tomo Takino expects her to act like the stereotypical Osakan — loud, like a hillbilly, chose for her the nickname "Osaka", although her behavior could not be more different. Osaka considers her label "too simple" and "icky," but she lacks the energy or motivation to dispute it. She reminisces how people in Osaka consider her "slow" and "spacey", at least compared to the average Osakan, but she lacks the energy or motivation to change. Osaka was the first to ever lose a race against Chiyo Mihama, whom she gained a close friendship with throughout high school. The nickname sticks so well she is called 'Osaka' by teachers and even in the class roster, to the point that no one (including herself) even remembers her real name (Koyomi Mizuhara has a similar problem). In the manga, Osaka mentions that she lived in Kobe when she was in elementary school and was born in Wakayama. Because of her poor performance on exams, Osaka became a member of the "Knuckleheads" ("Bonklers" in Japanese, "Numbnuts" in the English manga and "Boneheads" in the Yen Press translation), together with Tomo and Kagura, which was disbanded by Tomo. During the Sports Festival, she made a big deal out of running the obstacle course because she thought the event of sticking her face in flour to get candy was funny and had a giggle fit when she got there (and lost). Afterwards, her face was still covered in flour. She has almost no flexibility in her body, unlike some of her other friends. The manga also revealed that she actually likes to run outside and play in typhoons, yet is easily spooked by thunder. Osaka and her friends graduate high school at the end of the series. #targetaudeicne #ER #hERo #sinister #fyp
