Mizuki, Natsumi

水城夏実

Natsumi, a 16-year-old high school student, was initially Ban and Ginji's client at the start of the anime before taking a part-time job as a waitress at the Honky Tonk. In the series, she displays impressive ping-pong abilities, even challenging one of the Get Backers' clients while the duo is occupied with another case (despite her lack of skill in any area other than table tennis, shogi, and cooking; notably, she chose to wear an outfit made up of Ban's shirt and glasses, along with Ginji's pants and gloves for this mission). Acting as something of an unofficial groupie for the Get Backers, Natsumi is deeply devoted to Ban and Ginji, frequently worrying about their well-being and staying up late at the Honky Tonk to greet them upon their return from missions (this behavior is also depicted in the music video for the anime's first ending theme, although the pair had merely gone grocery shopping on a rainy day; the song is performed by Otoha, Natsumi's voice actress). In a case of real life mirroring art, Natsumi once teamed up with Emishi on a retrieval mission in the anime (the same episode where she wore the aforementioned outfit); her voice actress, Otoha, later married a comedian.
