Relationships[]

Karen Aijo[]

Karen is deeply appreciative of Nana's efforts to help everyone out, and is the one to give her the nickname "Banana," as she considers her to have the sweet, kind, and nourishing qualities of one. Karen's view that the ephemeral nature of theater is what makes each performance worth treasuring directly opposes her wish to grasp onto her beloved performance of "Starlight" during the 99th Seisho Festival. While after her loss Nana has trouble coming to terms with the idea, she is still cares for and is supportive of Karen as they move towards a 100th Seisho Festival without Hikari.

Junna Hoshimi[]

Junna holds a great amount of respect for Nana, having once told Nana that she considers her to be "a true stage girl".

Hisame Honami[]

Hisame met Nana after picking up pages of her script that fell out the window. Nana compliments Hisame's singing voice, which she always hears when their middle school's choir club is practicing, and invites her to join the theater club. Though she does not admit it, she finds herself having fun practicing lines with Nana. However, the time she spends there results in her relationship with the choir club becoming strained. After they manipulate Hisame into believing her acting is inferior to Nana's, she decides to quit the theater club, much to her own regret.

Hisame confronts Nana about this years later, during the Revue of First Snow, and is shocked when Nana tells her that she feels no resentment about her decision to quit. Unable to fight off the feelings that overwhelmed her, Hisame loses the battle to Nana and Junna Hoshimi. Later, she formally repairs her relationship with Nana and expresses her gratitude to have met her again before returning to Seiran.

Etymology[]

  • Nana's surname Daiba means "big, great" (大) (dai) and "place" (場) (ba).
    • 大 (dai) meaning "big, great" was used to emphasize her large stature as the tallest of the 99th Class.[3]
    • 大場 (Daiba) also comes from 事な所 (daiji na bashō), meaning "precious place", which Nana is to protect.[3]
  • Nana's nickname "Banana" was coined in a joke Karen made after their first performance of "Starlight" as a class. Karen coins another phrase, "Bananice", by creating a portmanteau of "Banana" and "nice".
  • Nana's name could be read to mean big banana: Dai (大) banana. Nana enjoys cooking with and eating bananas, and scriptwriter Tatsuto Higuchi said they had planned to make the character with the image color yellow related to bananas.[3]
    • Another possible connection is with the term "top banana," which means the lead of the show.

Trivia[]

  • Nana and Claudine Saijo are the only characters whose revue outfit does not feature their image color; however, Nana's weapon still has a gem that does.
  • She is the tallest of all the Revue Starlight characters, at 170 cm.
  • Nana's favorite gift is a frog notebook.
  • Nana has awful sleeping posture. [4]
  • Nana dislikes spicy food, like spicy snacks that Akira loves. [5]
  • By taking count of the lines that represent loops in episode 7, "Nana", it has been inferred that Nana looped her first year at Seisho + the Revues upwards of 60 times.
  • Nana's weapons are a katana named 輪 (meguri) and a wakizashi named 舞 (mai). Joining these two characters creates the word 輪舞 (rinbu) meaning "rondo".
    • Samurai during the Feudal era of Japan in the 15th century were required by law to keep two swords. Samurai would use the wakizashi as a backup sword to use in close-quarter combat. It was also often used to behead opponents or to perform seppuku, a form of suicide samurai would commit if they lost their honor.
    • Her favorite animal is frogs.
