NARURU OSAKA:
Information | Extras/Galleries




click for larger version Naruru Osaka is a friend of ChibiUsa's who appears in Volume 17, ChibiUsa's Picture Diary #4. She is a ditzy, trendy girl who uses slang often (much to Hotaru's distaste). She is the same class as ChibiUsa. She collects all things by Guccicci, a fictional brand name. Naruru tells us that the popular brand started in Florence, Italy in 1906 by Guchiko Gucci. It started as a saddle-making company. The name is often misspelled "Gucci" (like the real brand) by fans, but "Guccicci" is clearly written in Roman letters in the manga. She and her friend Ruruna Kobe take ChibiUsa and Hotaru to the Hammer Price Shrine, a local pawn shop. Naruru purchases an Eternal Sailor Moon costume, while Ruruna purchases a Sailor Mercury costume. Later, when greedy land developers destroy the pawn shop, the two girls dress as Sailor Senshi and attempt to fight the land developers. They even use an attack which they call "Super White Kick," in which they lunge at their opponents. Things quickly get out of hand when an ancient spirit, Otakura, emerges from the demolished storehouse. The two are sucked towards the storehouse by a swirling vortex of air, but saved when a net is thrown over them, pulling them to safety. Their rescuer is actually Makoto Hanmatsuura, the owner of the pawn shop, who has dressed in a cape and mask, calling himself "Debutcho Kamen" ("Chubby Mask"). Eventually, the evil spirit is destroyed by Eternal Sailor Moon and Sailor ChibiMoon, and everyone returns to normal. Later, we find out that Naruru is actually the younger sister of Naru Osaka. Naruru appears only in the manga, and never in the anime. Naruru is often called "Sailor Guccicci," but this name never appears anywhere in the manga; it is a fan-created term.
