Summary[]
Noko Shikanoko (鹿乃子のこ, Shikanoko Noko) or simply Nokotan (のこたん), is a unique human-deer hybrid and the founder and mascot of the Deer Club at Hino Minami High School.
She is a transfer student who becomes the best friend, classmate, and clubmate of Torako Koshi.
She is the titular character of the Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan series who makes her debut in Chapter 1/"Girl Meets Deer".
Shikanoko Noko is shown to have a bubbly personality, always happy but yet is still clueless and clumsy. She is an excitable, fun-loving girl who lets her immaturity shine, from encouraging and finding sex jokes funny, to picking fights with others who have the high ground against her.
She is carefree, energetic, and is constantly unpredictable due to her supposed naivete. She engages in many quirky behaviors that would normally shock others and catch them off-guard.
Despite this, it seems that her antics only affect the sanity of Koshi Torako, who more often than not ends up questioning her tendency to be the only one seemingly self-aware of what is happening.

The real version of herself was confirmed to be the same version as the anime version. Nokotan has appeared in the real world in the anime eyecatchers, which further proves that the anime Nokotan is the same version as the real Nokotan. Nokotan went up against some real world mascots in episode 12 of the anime. She even gets to dance alongside the real Sento-Kun to show it's not just some one-sided crossover. Nokotan also views her manga as fiction, so that means she has an r>f transcendence above all of the previous scaling)

Unique Abilities[]
- Deer antlers - She is the only deer-human hybrid shown so far, thus having a pair of deer antlers.
- Antler sensors - Her antlers can sense a lot of things, usually a person's true nature/secrets and the like. When this happens, her antlers tend to glow a faint red.
- Compact storage antlers - At times, she can use her antlers to store a single banana as a snack.
- Detachable antlers - She also has a tendency to detach them, and sometimes chew at them. They also tend to come off depending on the situation. Additionally, this can also extend to include the top of her forehead, making an empty storage space within her head.
- Regenerative antlers - Since deer horns naturally grow at its own pace, her horns are also shown to be able to do the same. They seem to grow at a very quick pace.
- Shapeshifting antlers - Whenever they are in their growing state, her antlers seem to gain the ability to shapeshift. Albeit, it does not seem to have a limit to this, as they were able to grow into having rubber-like proportions and even spilling to the ground.
- Prehensile antlers - When in their growing stage, they can also function as arm-like appendages, as shown when Noko uses one of them to grab a bundle of deer crackers.
- Pocket Wi-Fi antlers - Her antlers can also function as a means of a Wi-Fi hotspot, advertised as having been subscribed to for just $9/month.
- Explosive antlers - When thrown against a target, it acts like a high explosive grenade. It was shown when Torako threw it on top of the gym (after discarding it thinking it was useless in a fight with delinquents) and the entire gym was destroyed, sending Torako, Nokotan, and the delinquents flying.
- Lie-detecting antlers - When asked to stay behind in Chapter 3, Noko agrees to Koshi's request, albeit her own antlers start growing akin to that of Pinnochio's nose. Later on, Noko follows Koshi anyway.
- Stamp antlers - Her antlers are also sold as customizable name stamps.
- Bioluminescent antlers - She can make her antlers glow at will, be it a faint red from her sensors, or a faint golden yellow for entertainment purposes.
- Respiratory antlers - TBA
- Rice seasoning antler flakes - Her antlers can be shaved into small flakes and used to season rice, apparently being rather tasty.
- Flight - She can fly by making her antlers to spin around very fast like a propeller.
- Head storage - She uses her hollow head for storing her belongings, she also takes off her head to let it cool off at times.
- Head drinks mixer - She also uses her head storage as a mixer, where she has made coffee in the manga. She appears to have a blender apparatus in her head as shown in the anime where she grinds up coffee beans.
- Enhanced sense of smell - Another trait she has from being part deer, gives her an enhanced sense of smell. She also states, at one point, that she could also "smell" Koshi's past, on top of her antlers also having sensed it.
- Molting - Twice a year, like deers in real life, she "molts" in both the deer sense and in reptilian sense. The molted skin is a beloved body suit worn by Bashame.
Weaknesses: She is afraid of plastic bottles, her body turns into itchy fur when she gets hay fever, she throws up whenever she hears "end of term exam", and she is incredibly dense
