Noa Takigawa is a first-year student at Suzaku High, known for her unique magical ability to see someone’s painful past just by kissing them. As the only first-year witch in "Yamada and the Seven Witches," she stands out with her signature blue twin tails and playful, sometimes troublesome personality. She once caused trouble in an attempt to help her friends but eventually finds understanding with Ryuu Yamada, leading to a strong friendship and even a crush. Her storyline is filled with both comedic and dramatic moments as she faces her own fears and seeks acceptance.
Noa Takigawa has bright light blue hair, styled in twin tails tied with ribbons. One of her eyes is often hidden by her bangs.
She is 148cm tall.
She is usually seen with a lollipop and likes to wear cute accessories.
In the drama, her signature hairstyle went viral and was called the "Noarin Hair."
Noa refers to herself as "Noa" and often acts in a bold and outspoken way.
She is lively, mischievous, and sometimes causes trouble, but her actions come from wanting to help her friends.
Even after difficult events, she shows a friendly and affectionate side, especially toward Ryuu Yamada.
Noa is a student in class 1-C at Suzaku High School and a member of the Supernatural Studies Club.
Earlier, she suffered from bullying, and once, classmates locked her in a club storage room where she was so scared she lost control of herself.
Reading the legendary witches’ notebook during this event led to her own witch powers awakening.
She has always wanted to help other students who are struggling, especially the three friends who were falsely accused of being troublemakers.
She plotted to make her friends popular again, which led to many incidents at school.
Noa’s magical power lets her see the traumatic past of anyone she kisses in her dreams.
This ability once made her a “past seer” witch.
After a certain ritual, she lost this power, which brought her relief from recurring nightmares.
Later, her connection with Ryuu Yamada makes her the “observer,” able to track witches’ locations and never forget Yamada, even if magic is used.
Noa deeply trusts Ryuu Yamada, and after her troubles are resolved, she grows very affectionate toward him, even calling herself his future bride, much to others’ annoyance.
She is friends with the "accused" students she tried to protect and later makes up with Ryuu and Urara Shiraishi after initial conflicts.
Noa becomes the club president when the Supernatural Studies Club is at risk of being shut down.
In the epilogue, she attends Yamada and Urara Shiraishi’s wedding with friends and welcomes their family.

Becoming a Witch and Early Struggles
Noa's life changed when classmates bullied her and trapped her inside a storeroom.
While scared, she found and read the Witches’ Notebook, learning about the legend and gaining her own magical power.
She saw how her three friends were blamed for things they did not do and wanted to clear their names by giving them magic, even if it meant making others believe the current witches should leave school.
Encounter with Ryuu Yamada
Noa first meets Ryuu Yamada when he is asked by the Student Council to stop her mischievous behavior with her friends.
She tries to swap bodies with Urara Shiraishi and cause trouble to get Urara expelled and gain more magic but is foiled by Yamada’s quick thinking.
Feeling guilty and desperate, Noa finally tells Yamada the truth about her trauma and asks for his help.
Yamada’s understanding and kindness make her cry with relief, and their friendship becomes much closer.
Rebuilding Friendships
After the events, Noa changes her attitude and starts openly showing her affection to Yamada, sometimes clinging too much for his friends’ tastes.
Her friends also promise to clear up old misunderstandings about their past.
Loss and Return of Memories
When Rika Saionji erases all memories related to witches from Yamada and his friends, Noa begins to lose control and overuses her powers.
However, after a kiss from Yamada, Noa regains her lost memories and returns to her old self.
Eventually, her past-seeing ability disappears after a magic ritual, which makes her feel grateful and happy.
Later Life
Noa joins Yamada as his observer, ensuring she never forgets him and can sense other witches’ locations.
She becomes the president of the Supernatural Studies Club to save it from being disbanded.
Ten years later, she attends Yamada and Urara's wedding, meeting friends and their families.
In the live-action drama, Noa Takigawa was once a famous child actress known as “Noarin” with her own catchphrase and signature hairstyle.
Her fame faded as she grew up, and a traumatic incident during her middle school years made her afraid of the stage.
