Nozomi Tojo

Toujou Nozomi is one of the nine main characters in Love Live!. She is 17 years old and a third year in Otonokizaka High School. Nozomi was born on June 9. She has purple hair tied in two low twin-tails, and has turquoise eyes. Her theme color is purple. She is part of the sub-unit lily white.

Background
Although Nozomi is not originally from the Kansai region, she speaks in a Kansai dialect after having lived there for a few years during her childhood. She is fluent in a few other languages as well, including English. She enjoys helping out at the local Kanda Shrine. Nozomi is Ayase Eli's best friend, and she has admitted to Kousaka Honoka that she has seen Eli's emotional (and embarrassing) side.

In Season 2 Episode 8 it is shown that since Nozomi and her family had moved around for most of her childhood, she was very shy and never really had any friends. She begins to break out of her shell after meeting Ayase Eli, even though she is still unable to bring herself to approach the rest until Honoka decides to form μ's.

Personality
Nozomi is Eli's best friend and the former vice president of the school's student council. She often advises μ's and appears as wise, due to her tarot card reading or fortune telling skills. However, because of the way she punishes them, which is by grabbing their breasts, she often seems perverted. Despite this, she is the eldest member of μ's.

Clubs and Hobbies
She likes spiritual things such as "power spots" and charms, though she is most well known for her fortune-telling which she uses as her secret method of quickly fitting in whenever she is forced to change environments. She also finds an interest in helping the other girls as much as possible. She was Otonokizaka High School's student council vice-president before Umi succeeded the position. It is also stated that she likes taking naps.

Trivia

 * The tarot deck that Nozomi uses isn't actually a real deck, but rather a hybrid of two.
 * In the first season, all the cards she is shown drawing are from the Major Arcana of the Rider-Waite tarot deck, which is odd in itself that her spiritual power only has her drawing from 22 instead of the whole 72-card deck.
 * In episode 6 of the second season, she is shown drawing the Two of Discs: Change, which is a Minor Arcana card from the Thoth-Crowley tarot deck. This deck is relatively less famous than the Rider-Waite tarot deck, and it is likely the writers resorted to it only because they couldn't find another card with an appropriate name for the episode's theme.
