Noriko Sonozaki

Sonozaki Noriko (園崎 法子, Noriko Sonozaki) is a main character in the Kiznaiver anime. She is a mysterious girl who brings the seven Kiznaivers together (the exception being Hisomu, who she told the other six to find themselves).

Appearance
Sonozaki has grey eyes and long, light blue hair with a braid along the crown.

She wears her school uniform, but different than other girls. It consist streamline blazer and skirt accented with blue. Both her petticoat and the long-sleeved blouse she wears under her blazer appear to have ruffles, adding a girlish touch to her otherwise simplistic look. She wears common black school shoes and thigh-high white socks. In place of what appears to be her school's standard necktie is a pale blue bow. She wears a diamond imprint around her neck, much like a choker necklace. She appears to be slightly shorter than Chidori, so her height should be about 155-156 cm.

It is shown at the end of Episode 8 and throughout Episode 9, Sonozaki has a Kiznaiver scar on the back of her neck, which had been previously been covered up by a choker.

Personality
For the most part, Sonozaki displays very little emotion. Her words are powerful and firm towards the Kiznaivers, believing that they can achieve world peace, but she fails to show common traits of humanity herself.

Her stoic appearance and her rare signs of emotions are similar to Katsuhira, but during Katsuhira's childhood flashbacks, it is shown that Sonozaki did smile a lot back when she was a child.

More than anything, the Kiznaiver experiment seems to be her one and only goal. She stated to Mutsumi Urushibara that she wouldn't let the experiment fail no matter what, and speaks quite harshly towards the Mayor when he explains that they are losing their funding. Also, she doesn't seem to know as much about the Kiznaivers as she had previously implied, admitting that she named the Kiznaivers after the Seven Deadly Sins, but none of them actually live up to their given name.

Interestingly, Sonozaki had told Katsuhira, before he became a Kiznaiver, that everyone in the world wants to connect with someone else. Sonozaki herself seems to be part of this philosophy, as she wants to find herself within Katsuhira. She is possesses a little bit of curiosity about Katsuhira's feelings, as seen in Episode 9 when she asks him if he likes her and how long he thinks about her each day.

However, beyond this, true displays of emotion from Sonozaki have yet to be seen.

Episode One and Two
Sonozaki sudden appearance and she seems knowledgeable about Kizuna System Kizuna Chain Abilities. First glance from Maki point of view about Noriko being insane after she gives out an unsettling vibe toward six Kiznaivers. Despite, their hostile situation toward unwarranted peaceful 2nd experiment handle under her supervision, she known as a stoic by shown her serious no nonsense remark and she doesn't lose her composure after being provoke by Katsuhira being disappointed in her later happen at Episode 6. Episode 9 Nico Chidori Honoka wasn't exactly in original Kizuna experiment.

Episode Three
After Maki's confession, she tells the Kiznaivers that surviving the summer was their final mission and that after, they would be disbanded. After the Hisomu is found by the other Kiznaivers, she is seen speaking in a conference from about the light specks that appeared, calling it "light shinning from precious bonds"

Relationships
Agata Katsuhira

Despite Katsuhira not recognizing Sonozaki even though the two came from the same year and class section — even going so far as to ask her who she was when they first met, Sonozaki has shown that she may know Katsuhira well, as was hinted when she told him that he "hadn't changed" after she pulls herself extremely close to his face and he tells her that the only times he had been this close to another is when he gets beaten up.

Sonozaki also accepts Katsuhira's "secret", which noted by others was more of a belief than a secret — on the grounds that Katsuhira, himself, had forgotten what it was though, which suggests that she knows what it is though she opts not to tell him or the other Kiznaivers this.

Due to Katsuhira's newfound interest in knowing about himself and connecting with others, it is seen that he wants to know her better perhaps on the grounds of suspicion that Sonozaki is somehow connected to his reoccurring nightmares and flashbacks.

Much to Chidori's jealousy and dismay, Sonozaki calls him by his first name and Katsuhira calls her Nori-chan.

In Episode 9, she is seen taking of her choker to reveal a scar that matches the other Kiznaivers and asks Katsuhira if she exists inside him. She is confirmed to be the girl from his memories. Katsuhira had also hugged her.

Sonozaki herself states that she wants to 'find herself within him', but cannot do so until Katsuhira is able to regain his ability to feel pain. Beyond that, her feelings toward Katsuhira are disputed.

Takashiro Chidori

The subject of Chidori's jealousy along with Katsuhira Agata due to his and Sonozaki's seemingly newfound relationship, though she adamantly denies this for the most part until Tenga Hajime offers to help her out with her relationship with the latter. With much dismay, she notices Katsuhira's attempts to get closer to Sonozaki and how much he seems to think about or mention her, which ultimately just fuels her jealousy and anger.

Urushibara Mutsumi

It appears that the Guidance Counselor may harbor an obsession over Sonozaki Noriko for whatever reason as she was first introduced with a Sonozaki strap attached to her phone. When called out for hypocrisy as she criticized Yamada Kazunao for selling out his students, she tells him that "Noriko-chan" was the only one she cared about anyway.
