Kadena, Nao

嘉手納南風

An attractive school nurse and a former street racer.
Kadena, a former member of a car club and street racer, is a teacher at Tsujikou who has taken over for the absent Nanno. She uses her beauty to inspire her male students to work hard, and she entices the girls with attractive university guys. She feels responsible for her younger brother Kazuhito being in a coma, since he crashed his car in a race with her. Onizuka lifts her out of her bad mood by racing her, showing that it can be fun if you aren't too reckless. She later 'helps' set Shinomi up with Eikichi, but things don't quite go right.
In the anime adaptation of Great Teacher Onizuka, Nao Kadena takes the role of the school nurse played by Naoko Moritaka in the manga. Her techniques and past are remarkably similar to her character in Shonan Junai Gumi - though she was clearly introduced as a brand new acquaintance to the existing cast. In later storylines her actions were adaptations of Moritaka's from the manga.
