"Owh... So people who are lazy like me will fail... Whereas people who are taking this seriously like you will succeed, is that so?"

- Izuho Natsume to Chika Amatori.

Izuho Natsume is an C-rank sniper. During Akane Hiura's departure from Mikado City, Izuho was nominated by Akane to succeed her as Nasu Squad's sniper once Izuho is promoted to B-rank.

Appearance
Izuho Natsume is a girl of young age. She has messy, dark blonde hair cut short, with an ahoge in the middle of her fringe. She also has black, slit pupils.

In Trigger Mode, she gets the Standard C-rank uniform.

Personality
Izuho possesses a rather foul mouth for a fourteen-year-old and she is extremely rough around the edges. She is also very lazy, as she herself admitted. But she is an incredibly kind and loyal friend, as shown when she willingly returned to battle to try and save Chika. She also seems to be a cat lover, as she has been carrying a cat atop her head ever since Aftokrator's invasion began.

Relationships

 * Isami Tōma: Izuho quickly befriends Tōma during Sniper Precision Training, after her cat jumps on top of his head. After the training ends, he gives her Sniper tips, effectively becoming her mentor. She calls him "Pompadour-senpai".


 * Akane Hiura: Akane approaches Izuho during Sniper Precision Training due to her cat, as she is a cat lover. They quickly befriend each other.


 * Yuzuru Ema: Due to her proximity with Chika, Izuho and Yuzuru quickly get along. Izuho believes Yuzuru has a crush on Chika, due to him training her despite being from different teams.
