Naru Osaka is Usagi Tsukino's childhood best friend and schoolmate.

Appearance

Naru has wavy reddish-brown hair and blue eyes. She often wears a bow in her hair.

Personality

In the manga, Naru is kind, friendly, and outgoing.

Information

Naru Osaka appears in Act 1 of the manga. She does not have as large a role in the manga as she does in the anime, and never develops relationships with either Nephrite or Umino. She is Usagi's best friend, and Usagi thinks very highly of her, telling her that she is a princess and that she is smart (she made an 85 on the quiz in Act 1). Her mother owns a jewelry store called OSA-P that is the scene of one of Jadeite's energy-stealing schemes in Act 1. Naru is very trendy and popular. She makes fewer and fewer appearances as the series progresses. Later, in Chibiusa's Picture Diary #4, Volume 17, we learn that Naru has a younger sister in elementary school named Naruru Osaka. Naruru is only Naru's sister in the manga. Naru attended Juuban High School in the last arc, as she is shown in one panel to be eating lunch with Usagi.

-[[File:Naru_in_PGSM.PNG|thumb|Naru in PGSM.]]In the [[PGSM|Live Action]] Sailor Moon series, towards the end of the series, Naru finds out that Usagi is Sailor Moon and is injured when Sailor Moon transforms into [[Princess Sailor Moon]].
-In the Special Act, she was a fan of [[Sailor V]] and cosplayed as [[Sailor N]].
 ==Trivia==
-* In the English dub Naru was given a strong Brooklyn accent. In the original Japanese anime Naru has a heavy Osaka accent.
+* Naru had a much more prominent role in the anime than in the manga.
-** It could be, however, that the dubbers did this to reflect her speech patterns from the original, much like how the dubbers for ''Yu-Gi-Oh! ''did with Katsuya Jonouchi (Joey Wheeler in English).
-* Fans have long speculated that Naru is actually the non-existent ''Sailor Earth''. Fans from all over the world draw dōjinshi of her in Sailor Senshi garb. However, the truth of this is negated by the fact that [[Mamoru]] holds the Earth's sailor crystal and that Naru was not present in The [[Silver Millennium]].
