Niki Hanada

A female resident of the Tsukasa Empire. Former judo athlete. "Nikki" is a nickname given by her juniors in the judo club, and she was also called "Aniki," but at heart, she is a maiden. A fan of the singer Lillian. She is 180 centimeters tall and was born on August 31st, with blood type AB. She has a muscular build. She monitors Taiju and Yuzuriha. While monitoring, Taiju tries to talk to her, but she has no intention of listening and declares that she will hit him if he speaks more than four words. However, as he continues to talk despite being hit, she eventually gives in and listens. When Gen pretends to be Lillian over the phone, Nikki, who has a strong attachment to Lillian's songs from her student days, asks a detailed question to verify the truth and sees through Senkuu and Gen's lie. In a final gamble, Senkuu and his team play a record of Lillian's song, and upon hearing her voice, Nikki is convinced it is Lillian's and simultaneously realizes that Lillian is no longer alive. Grateful to Senkuu and his team for reviving Lillian's voice and to protect Lillian's last song, she switches sides to join Senkuu. According to Nikki, Gen's imitation of Lillian's voice was 55 out of 100 points. She helps improve the accuracy, successfully reproducing even the subtle southern accent, earning a perfect score. She learned English in broken phrases to listen to Lillian's songs. In the North America arc, she serves as a negotiator with Brody and is involved in the construction of the city of a million corn. After everything is over, she returns to university life.
