izumi noa

A fictional policewoman from near future Japan.

The bubbly, perky tomboyish, red-headed gamine labor otaku from Hokkaidō. The main character of Patlabor, officer Noa Izumi is usually at the center of the action. Noa loves her labor much like a pet and named it "Alphonse", a name previously held by a pet dog and a pet cat, respectively.

She's somewhat impulsive, albeit not nearly as much as Oota. Noa is arguably the best mecha pilot in Division 2, although both Clancy and Kumagami have shown extreme talent as well but seldom pilot. She has a natural affinity for labors and gets 110% out of them, much to the amazement of her colleagues. Furthermore, she can drink quite a bit more than her co-workers, and recovers from hangovers much faster, since her family runs a liquor store.
