Summary[]
Torako Koshi (虎視 虎子, Koshi Torako), or simply Koshitan (こしたん), is the president of the student council and the Deer Club, and the former class representative of 2-B at Hino Minami High School.
She is the classmate, best friend, and clubmate of Noko Shikanoko, and the older sister, schoolmate, and clubmate of Anko Koshi.
She is one of the main protagonists of the Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan series who made her debut in Chapter 1 of the manga and "Girl Meets Deer" of the anime.
Wanting to change for the better as a former delinquent, Koshi has vowed to renew her ways and, within the span of a year, has become the complete opposite - an honor student who's athletic, kind, helpful, and adored by all.
She is introduced as a composed person who is always in control, although this becomes challenged after meeting Shikanoko Noko, wherein the latter's antics makes some of her delinquent-like traits slip out more often than she would like to admit. Her delinquent mannerisms can include more threatening language, sharp glares, and a deeper voice.
She dislikes being the only one self-aware about the consequences of Noko's nature and antics, especially when her own reputation is put on the line. She also dislikes whenever she is the only one putting in any effort in doing things that is expected of a group. She dislikes when her past as a delinquent or other secrets are brought to light, often by Shikanoko Noko.
She is very easily embarrassed, often heavily blushing from romantic gestures like love letters, or inquiries about her love life. Torako also tends to get embarrassed from situations she puts herself in - such as being observed when singing to a deer. This embarrassment often causes Torako to freak out. She is also easily swept by her own emotions - such as when she easily believed Noko will leave the club permanently on grounds of Bashame's diagnosis without even asking for a second opinion.
On top of being an honors student, she is also very passionate about her likes and hobbies - having a collection of stuffed toys she kisses before going to bed, calling out to several shonen manga characters for help when met with difficult situations, and displaying her knack for interior design after being left in charge with managing the warehouse for the Deer Club. Furthermore, she does not dislike being an idol, as indicated by her route during the Game of Deer Life.
