Noriko Nakagawa

Noriko Nakagawa is a main character in Battle Royale. She teams up with Shuya Nanahara and Shogo Kawada and ends up escaping from the program. Noriko was very kind and caring; she was also quite clever and trusted fewer people than Shuya, who was willing to see everyone as an ally during the program. Noriko was a very good poet and she had good spelling and handwriting as well. She was the best at composition in the class and she wrote Shuya a love note. She often helped Shuya during breaks by editing or reviewing his song lyrics which he wrote in the margins of his books.
