Personality
Nao appeared as a kindly woman who constantly worries about her family. She tries to smooth over her family's problems caused by her husband's hatred towards heroes seen when she attempts to stop her husband from punishing her son.
She cared about her children greatly but couldn't stand up to her husband due to knowing why he hated heroes. Nao also couldn't completely console her son after the abuse he suffered from the hands of his father.
She wasn't afraid to stand up to her husband if he was going too far in his abusive treatment of their children, which is seen when she confronted her husband for what he did to Tomura said if he was going to resort to violence, she wasn't going to follow his rules.
Unfortunately, despite how much she loved her children, it wasn't enough to calm her son down and was still killed when her son's Quirk awakened and went out of control. Even while dying, she still tried to reach out to him, showing she still loved him.
History
At some point, she married Kotaro and had two children, Tenko and Hana.
One day, Tenko caused some trouble while pretending to be a hero, so Kotaro took him outside as punishment. Nao begged her husband to not get violent but still does nothing as Tenko is taken outside. As dinner was prepared, Nao asked her husband to bring Tenko back inside, noting that his allergies had gotten worse, though he was unsure what he was allergic to. Later, she comforted her son, asking him if he still wanted to be a hero. As Tenko explained the fun he had with his friend, he embraced Nao and asked her why Kotaro hated him. She states that his father didn't hate Tenko, but that he knew how hard it was to be a hero.
Nao is unintentionally slaughtered by her son.
When Kotaro discovered that Tenko went into his office, Nao watched with the rest of the family in shock and horror and shouted when Kotaro smacked Tenko across the face. Afterwards, when Kotaro was in his office and looking at the past letters from his mother, Nao angrily confronted him, telling Kotaro that if he was going to resort to violence, then she wouldn't abide by his rules. She reminded Kotaro of what he said, that he wanted to build a happy family.
Nao went back outside with Chizuo and Mako and saw the dead bodies of Hana and her dog while the ground continues to crumble around Tenko. Even as the decay spread to her foot, Nao still reached out for her son in her final act of compassion before she was killed by Tenko's Quirk.[2]
Her disembodied hands soon end up becoming a part of her son's villain costume in the present.
