Nozomi Ishizawa

Nozomi Ishizawa serves as a vital pillar of the Zushi Sogo High School badminton team, sharing a deep-rooted bond with Nagisa Arakaki and Riko Izumi as former middle school teammates. On the court, she distinguishes herself through exceptional wrist and elbow mobility, wielding precise shot placement as her signature weapon. During a pivotal prefectural match against Nagisa, she found herself trapped in a morally troubling situation—ordered by her coach to exploit her opponent's injury. Torn by inner conflict, it was ultimately Nagisa's unyielding spirit that moved her to break free from those constraints and embark on a personal journey to discover her own authentic style of play.
