Role	Protagonist

Nagino Ise is an character in the Shikigami No Shiro series first appearing in Shikigami no Shiro III. She is a young schoolgirl, an owns a pet rabbit named Strider.

Background

A fairly enigmatic girl, Nagino appears to be a carefree elementary school student investigating Alcaland for fun. She enjoys toying with Kohtaro Kuga and Gennojo Hyuga's relationships, and calls them both 'papa'. (She addresses both Sayo Yuuki and Fumiko Odette Van Stein as 'mama'.) Her rabbit is known as Strider, and goes everywhere Nagino does.

However, her happy-go-lucky mood is merely a facade. She is actually the human incarnation of a powerful deity of some sort, which the game gives very little detail on, although what is known is that she has inherited the ability to time travel.

Trivia

• Nagino uses the same Shikigami and Bomb attacks as Niigi Gorgeous Blue from Shikigami no Shiro II.
• In the Japanese version of Shikigami no Shiro III, Nagino Ise has an image of Bub from Bubble Bobble on her backpack. Nagino's alternative color scheme for the second player instead displays Bob from the same game. This is because Taito is the publisher of the original Japanese arcade version.
• In Shikigami no Shiro III, she states her real name is Mirai Shibamura. Given the connection the Shikigami series has to other Alfa System games, she is likely meant to be related to Mai Shibamura from Gunparade March.

Quotations

• My Shikigami is called Strider!
