Oryou (おりょう, Oryō), real name Takeko Nogami (野上 武子, Nogami Takeko), is one of the supporting protagonists of Girls und Panzer. She is the driver of the Hippo Team.
Profile[]
Oryou is a second-year student from Ooarai Girls High School and the driver of Hippo Team's StuG III. She's a member of history buffs club or Reki-jo.
Appearance[]
Oryou is a short girl with mid-length unruly black hair, tieded in to little ponnytail on the end. She have midnight blue eyes and she wears red square eyeglasses without frame on the upper side. She wear Oarai school uniform, with not plated verse of skirt, black Haori, and big black boots. Like Erwin, she tends to smile a lot, although hers appears much less cocky.
Personality[]
Oryou is well known for her expertise on the history of the Bakumatsu period. She's also fairly calm and, although having a somewhat boyish and messy hairdo, she's still the most feminine of the Hippo Team (she's also the only member of the team whose nickname came from a woman).
Etymology[]
Nickname[]
- The nickname Oryou is based on Narasaki Ryou.
Real Name[]
Oryou's real name is based on artist Takeshi Nogami, who created the manga Girls und Panzer: Ribbon Warrior and Serafuku to Juusensha.
- The name Takeko means "military, martial" (武) (take) and "child" (子) (ko).
- Takeko's surname Nogami means "field, wilderness" (野) (no) and "above, top, upper" (上) (kami/gami).
Trivia[]
- Oryou's favorite flower is Myrtle and her favorite tank is the Japanese Type 97 Chi-Ha.
- Oryou is the only Ooarai student that wears a non-pleated skirt. However, in some scenes she appears with a pleated skirt; it is uncertain whether these inconsistancies are her changing style or a "blooper" by the animator.
- A MLLSD 4koma heavily suggested that Oryou doesn't wear any underwear: When Saori asks her and Saemonza if it's true that Japanese women didn't wear underwear until recently, they confirm that's true, including during their favorite historical periods, and finish with a grin that implies they are, indeed, being historically accurate.
- Oryou's birthday is the November 15th, the same date in year 6 of Tenpou era (Jan. 3, 1836) and year 3 of Keiou era (Dec. 10, 1867) of the Japanese old calander when Sakamoto Ryōma, a Samurai who is admired by Oryou, was born and died.[1]
- In the non-canon 4koma Lovey-Dovey Panzer, Oryou jumps out of her bath naked to warn her teammates of an attack. This a reference to the 1862 Teradaya incident when Narasaki Ryou, then working at Kyoto's Teradaya Inn, overheard the arrival of assassins while she was in her bathtub and ran naked through the inn to warn Sakamoto Ryouma and his allies, who were there to plot a revolt in Kyoto. Sakamoto escaped with slight injuries, and they were married soon after.
- Sakamoto Ryōma is Oryou's idol, she tends to be very upset when someone makes fun of him.
- She wear same Haori as Sakamota Ryōma.
- She have same Japanese seyuu as Maiko.
