This article needs some love! Could you help it out by filling out more of the infobox?

The Nurse (ナース, Nāsu) is the head nurse of Yamaku whose name is not given. While he is friendly to most students, he can act sternly when his advice is not taken seriously or wholly. He "hired" Emi as a spy to make sure Hisao exercises properly in exchange for himself as a running partner for Emi. He has a close relationship with Emi as he frequently makes small jokes and calls her "Sunshine".

"The chief of the nurse staff of Yamaku, and a surprisingly young person for someone in his position. He is a funny and jovial guy, always good for a laugh and well liked by students. Nonetheless, he has a heart of pure gold and he is very passionate and serious about his job."

— Official Description

He is normally seen with both eyes closed, only opening one eye when making a point or being stern.

History

The Nurse worked with Emi's physical therapy after her accident. Therefore, they developed a close relationship as he also closely interacts with her mother.

Trivia

• He's one of two characters not to have his name mentioned, the other being the Shopkeep.
• The Nurse is most likely a reference to "Nurse-kun" in Damaged Goods, an epic story that ran on 4chan's /b/ from 2006-2007.
  • On that note, the concept art for what became Katawa Shoujo was actually first posted in the first thread of Damaged Goods, so the connection is quite natural.
