[[File:Nanami and the hero pay their respects.png|thumb|left|220px|That hokey old 'bury your elderly grandparents' trope.]]Nanami is a boisterous war orphan who was adopted and trained in martial arts by [[Genkaku]], along with [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the hero]]. Although they are not related by blood, the bond between the orphans was said to be even stronger than that of family. She always considered herself the older sister, despite neither sibling knowing their true age.

Although they are not related by blood, the bond between the orphans was said to be even stronger than that of family. She always considered herself the older sister, despite neither sibling knowing their true age.


Despite the distance of the townsfolk, Nanami and the hero enjoyed a happy childhood, becoming close friends to [[Jowy Atreides]]. When Jowy and the hero signed up for the [[Unicorn Brigade]], Nanami remained in [[Kyaro Town]], taking over the upkeep of the family dojo. She had hopes of one day reopening the dojo with herself as the instructor, taking after Genkaku.

She was worried when she heard that the Unicorn Brigade had been wiped out, but never doubted that her brother would be okay. When the hero returned, now accused of having been a spy in the massacre of the unit, Nanami immediately fled without hesitation with him to the [[City-State of Jowston]].

Nanami joined [[Viktor|Viktor's]] mercenaries along with the hero. When Jowy was captured during a reconnaissance mission in the Highland camp on behalf of [[Muse City]], Nanami decided to be the first to greet him when he returned. As the sun set on Muse, Nanami and the hero reminisced with each other about Jowy and growing up together. She would be overjoyed by Jowy's return.

After having witnessed the atrocities of [[Luca Blight]] in [[Toto Village]] and the death of [[Anabelle]], Nanami began to long to run away from war and live a quiet life, rebuilding the dojo in Kyaro Town. Nanami took Jowy's betrayal and murder of Anabelle particularly hard, at first believing her friend incapable of doing such an act. She dismissed thoughts of running away as she was unwilling to leave the hero or Jowy behind.

At first unwilling to accept that her brother was the one to take this role on, Nanami remained protective of him and accompanied him on missions in [[Greenhill City]], the [[Matilda Knightdom]], [[Muse City]],  and [[Tinto Principality]].

In [[Tinto City]], she and her brother would be confronted by [[Jess]], who accused them of murdering Anabelle and continuing to conspire against the City-State. Knowing everything the hero has sacrifice and fought for, Nanami was deeply upset by these accusations and his lack of reward for everything he had done. In the aftermath, she finally directly asked him to run away with her, forsaking the war to live in peace.

Nanami's dilemma would come to a head in [[Greenhill Forest]] during the New State Army liberation of the city. Meeting Jowy, she would ask him to stop fighting, knowing that her brother could not. Jowy rejected her plea, stating that he had people and beliefs he was fighting on behalf of also. Nanami begged to go back to the way things were, but her pleas only echoed in the forest.

During the capture of the [[Matilda Knightdom]], Nanami once more tried to convince Jowy and the hero to stop fighting one another. As she pled her case, she was seriously injured in an attack by [[Gorudo]]'s archers. As the hero attempted to shield her, Nanami realized that she was putting him at risk because he was willing to die to protect her. Knowing that he would need a home after the war, Nanami decided to return to Kyaro and wait for him, trusting [[Shu]] to tell him when the time was right. Following this, Shu and [[Huan]] would announce Nanami's death to the army, allowing her to return to Kyaro in peace.

After the Dunan Unification War, Nanami reunited with her brother and Jowy, her one wish and hope during the war, and happily set off on a journey with them.
