Nobuhiko Nagatsuka (長塚 乃彦, Nagatsuka Nobuhiko) is a second year student at Mihashi High School and one of the stride club's runners.
He is voiced by Itaru Yamamoto.
Appearance[]
Nobuhiko is a tall young man with a muscular frame and solid build. He has cropped black hair. He is often seen with his eyes closed and a friendly smile on his face.
He wears a green jersey (with navy blue lines on the collar and other places and white words printed beside the zipper) with a black t-shirt underneath. He wears it with grey track shorts and black running shoes.
Personality[]
He is very friendly and mature who often apologizes for his teammate's outbursts, especially Aoi's. He still showed great sportsmanship to help Ayumu up to finish their legs, and also after the race, still played along to wish him and his 'sister' well.
Skills[]
He has above-average slope speed, but it is mostly because he is so much taller than Ayumu, so he can beat him just by having longer stride lengths and can crush his hands in a handshake. Mentally, he buys into Ayumu's mental tricks and feints, but is still composed enough to run his own race. He also shows great sportsmanship.
Quotes[]
Etymology[]
- The name Nobuhiko means "from" (乃) (nobu) and "boy, prince" (彦) (hiko).
- Nobuhiko's surname Nagatsuka means "long, chief, boss" (長) (naga) and "mound, hill/hillock, heap, knoll, pile, drift, stack, bank" (塚) (tsuka).
Trivia[]
- Despite his manly looks, Nobuhiko is only 16 years old.
- When Honan faced off against Mihashi, Ayumu Kadowaki would try to wind up opponents, especially him. The story Ayumu told was similar to what Midousuji Akira told Imaizumi Shunsuke about a family member being in hospital, but Ayumu is an only child while Nagatsuka bought the story, he didn't take him lightly. In the anime, Ayumu took a risky shortcut where he would get badly cut by the branches, and dislocated his right shoulder. Nagatsuka thought he is a half-sister of Ina Bauer, but it cannot be because she passed away in 2014, aged 73.
- Ina Bauer also refers to a figure skating element, a footstep named after her. The term became popular in Japan due to an explosion of World Class female figure skaters in Japan in the 1990-2010's, especially 2006 Winter Olympic Champion, Shizuka Arakawa, who won with her flexible version of the move in her long skating program.
