Natsu is the daughter of the merchant house Sugada-ya. Raised by Jūzō after losing her real parents at a young age, she faces many tough feelings about her place in the family. One of her main struggles is feeling like she does not truly belong, which leads to problems involving dangerous creatures called demons. Even though Natsu has challenges, she grows through close friendships and heartbreaks, and her story is filled with memorable and emotional moments.
There is no special detail about Natsu’s height, weight, or other physical features, but she is described as the only daughter in a merchant family. Her presence stands out more by her actions than by her looks.
Natsu is not a typical gentle or quiet daughter of a merchant family.
She can be strong-willed and sometimes has a sharp tongue.
Even with her lively attitude, she often worries about not being loved because she was adopted.
Natsu's life is closely linked to people like Jūzō, Zenji, and Jinta.
She develops a gentle crush on Jinta, especially after he helps her when she creates a demon out of her fears.
She later marries Zenji and builds her own family with him.
Her feelings for Jūzō are complicated, as she is both grateful for his care and afraid he never truly accepted her.
The Birth of a Demon
Natsu feels very anxious that she is not Jūzō’s real child.
Afraid that he does not really love her, these emotions grow too strong and give birth to a demon.
Jinta defeats this demon, and afterward, Natsu starts to visit Kihei Restaurant Owner with Zenji.
Through these visits, she starts to form small friendships and slowly recovers her confidence.
Secret Feelings and Growing Up
While visiting Kihei Restaurant Owner, Natsu gets to know people and collects interesting things, such as the Fukura Sparrow made by Somegorō Akitsu.
During these times, she develops gentle feelings for Jinta.
However, she keeps her feelings secret and continues to hope for a normal family life.
A Heartbreaking Loss
Natsu’s peaceful days end when her adoptive father Jūzō becomes a demon.
In front of her, a demonized Jinta defeats Jūzō.
The shock of seeing this is too much for Natsu, and she becomes frightened of demons and anything related to them.
Because of this, she breaks off ties with her friends and stops visiting Kihei Restaurant Owner.
Moving On
Eventually, Natsu marries Zenji.
They have a child and work hard together to keep Sugada-ya’s business strong.
A Fateful Encounter
One month before the new government in Japan, Natsu leaves Edo with her child.
In a busy street, she walks past Jinta, who is holding a little girl named Nomari.
For a brief moment, Natsu sees Jinta and remembers the feelings she once had.
A Gift Passed Down
At the end of her story, the Fukura Sparrow she treasured is passed along.
Utsugi Heikichi, who visits Sugada-ya for deliveries, helps bring the gift to Nomari as a souvenir from Natsu.
Natsu is more lively and outspoken than most girls from merchant families.
She isn’t afraid to speak her mind, even if her words sometimes sound a little harsh.
Though she struggles with her fears and emotions, she tries her best to do the right thing.
