Rena Nakano

Rena Nakano is the late wife of Maruo Nakano and the biological mother of the Nakano Quintuplets who worked as a teacher before she had succumbed to an illness when her quintuplet daughters were just ten or eleven years old. More of her history may be explored the movie via flashbacks. Rena is an extremely attractive young woman with chest-length dark-colored hair (dark-red in the anime) that has bangs swept to the right side (she had shoulder-length hair that hangs on the right side when she was a high school student), light-colored or dark-colored eyes (dark-blue in the anime), a well-endowed figure with large breasts and full pink lips; traits that had been passed down to her quintuplet daughters. Because of her appearance, her beauty has charmed every male/female student and Shimoda comments on Rena's looks to Itsuki Nakano in different versions: In Chapter 57 (Pg. 10-Pg. 12), she mentions "that's because Sensei was such... an incredibly beautiful woman." In the English Sub, she comments on how "Sensei was just that damn super beautiful." In the English Dub, she noted that "Ms. Nakano was just that stunningly beautiful." According to Mudou in the movie and Chapter 109, he comments to Itsuki on how "you're the spitting image of your mother when she was young." Rena is known to be a very serious, unsociable, strict and stern woman, especially when it comes to teaching her students as she would often punish her students with iron-fist sanctions, but she was also very forgiving and for that (as well as her appearance), she was adored by her students that there was a student fan club dedicated to worship her. According to Itsuki Nakano's words, Rena was "a gentle and maternal female."
