Maki Gamou/Biography

Early life
Maki was born on June 15 in, , the eldest child of the Gamou family, she has a younger brother and a younger sister, whom she often take care of, while her parents run the eponymus GAMOU Fighting Gym. Due to her surname, it's implied that her family might originate from today's. She grew up in a house in the suburbs in the same apartment building of Yoshi's family, leading the two to became childhood friends. Due to her family business, she started to study martial arts at a young age, becoming very good and getting acquainted with Taiga Nagatoro, a boy who attended the gym and to whom she eventually develop a huge crush. Later on she also met Taiga's little sister Hayase, who started study martial arts there too, and becoming fast friend with her leading for the latter to befriend Yoshi as well. Despite their quick and close friendship, Gamo-chan has always been a bit unnerved about Nagatoro's attitude towards fights, due to her taking them lightly and resting on her talent.

After attending Kazehaya Junior High together, Gamo-chan, Nagatoro and Yoshi started to attend Kazehaya High School and were all placed in the same class, 1-C where they became friend with Sakura, who eventually joined their group.

Ever since they reach teenhood, her friend Yoshi tried to be the matchmaker for Gamo-chan, yet she has never had a boyfriend nor any significant relationships with the opposite sex.

She joined the same club as Yoshi but it's unclear which one it is. Also she has sometimes joined the track and field clubs practice alongside Nagatoro.

Meeting Senpai
One afternoon, while chatting with her friends on the school's library a second year student walked in trying to stay unnoticed, until the pages of a manga he drew fell on the floor and are immediately spotted by the girls who started to mercilessly criticize it and making fun on him. Then, Gamo-chan received a text from an acquaintance of hers, Youko, who invited them all at a bakery called Mister Donuts, prompting three of them to go while Nagatoro choose to stay there.

Few weeks later, Nagatoro invited Senpai to have lunch with her, Yoshi and Gamo-chan at the school cafeteria, introducing him as his boyfriend. Her two friends recognized him as "the mangaka from the library" and, getting a little jealous that her friend has a boyfriend, Gamo-chan (and to some extent Yoshi) started to tease him and calling him names, causing Nagatoro to get angry and eventually taking his defenses, prompting Senpai to admit he wasn't actually her boyfriend. Gamo-chan and Yoshi burst out laughing at the futility of his statement and apologizing to him, admitting he was a very funny guy.

Somewhat curious of her friend relationship with the boy, and getting quite suspicious that she actually really has feelings for him, Gamo-chan visited the art club room together with Yoshi finding Senpai alone since Nagatoro has momentarily exited to borrow a comb in order to cut his hair. At first she simply looked around describing the place as the "love nest" of the boy and her friend, however after she saw the electric razor that Nagatoro left behind, she and Yoshy decided to try shave him themselves, Senpai opposed to them shouting that he already promised to Nagatoro he would have his hair cut by her. In that moment the girl went back, causing both of her friends to run off.

Some days after this, as for testing if Senpai was faithful to her friend, she went to the art club with Yoshi again, sat at his table and stared at him mischievously before asking him if he ever touched tits, saying that she felt bad for him since he never did it and eventually offering him to touch hers. Although he stares hesitantly at the prosperous girl, Senpai eventually decided to try leaving but was stopped and constricted by Yoshi who subsequently forced his right hand over her friend's left breast. Feeling bad for having been forced into be a sexual molester, Senpai then noticed the texture of the girl's tit felt strange, thus Gamo-chan revealed that she actually wore anpan underneath her shirt. Right at that moment Nagatoro entered the room and her friends left.

Apparently, after seeing how utterly mortified Nagatoro was after catching them, Gamo-chan became sure of her friend's feelings toward Senpai and, from that moment on, began to tease them with the sole intention to make them closer, as that was the last occasion in which she actively bullied him.

Summer break
During the summer break Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Nagatoro decided to go to the beach and the latter invited Senpai too. The afternoon in which the group met, she greets Senpai saying she was surprised that he joined them, prompting the three girls to start mocking him by calling him a lonesome "wharf roach". After they arrived Gamo-chan stripped remaining in a bikini, which leave Senpai utterly stunned causing her to playfully taunt him for "staring way too hard even for a virgin" then Yoshi stripped as well showing-off her impressive bosom, causing Nagatoro to get frustrated, taking off her clothes as well, revealing her significantly smaller physique and demanding him to go buy drinks. Later, Gamo-chan proposed to go swim all together but Senpai refused, taking a sketchbook out of his bag to begin drawing. Following this, Gamo-chan had swimming competition with Nagatoro arbitrated by Yoshi. Nagatoro won and began to brag about how good she was as a member of the swimming club, causing her friend to remind her she was just a "bench-warmer" in the team and also they both swam in the front crawl rather than the breaststroke, which is the swimming style the club used. Then seeing Nagatoro wasn't listening to her but rather looking at Senpai all alone under their parasol, Gamo-chan tried to cheer her up telling her that if he didn't wanted to swim they couldn't force him. However, Nagatoro decided to to Senpai anyway and proposed him to rub a 50+ sunscreen on him after he told her about his fear of getting sunburnt, yet when he told that that would be something boyfriend and girlfriend would do, pointing out that they weren't, and she got offended, Nagatoro pinned him to the ground and started to rub the lotion on him with her foot in retaliation causing both Gamo-chan and Yoshi to join her in giving Senpai said treatment, prompting Nagatoro to stop after using the whole bottle and fully covering him on sunscreen. Then, the whole group ended up having a good time, making another swimming competition together, playing with sand and eating ramen at the beachside.

The night of the summer festival, Gamo-chan planned to go with her friends but, since Nagatoro was forced to go to school due to having a special club practice, she went there only with Yoshi. Surprised to found Senpai was at the festival too, she approached him and correctly guessed that he marched all the way there holding to the hope to meet Nagatoro, despite the boy denied it embarrassed, Gamo-chan informed him about why she couldn't come to the festival and, since he then tried to leave, caught him with a dog collar and asked him to accompany them around the festival. Then she sent Nagatoro a picture of all three of them together, proving that she expected Nagatoro jealous reaction and was quite aware of her friend's growing crush on Senpai. The plan set by the girl to made her friend jealous, thus prompting her to came, worked and Nagatoro run from the swimming club's lockers to the temple where they held Senpai "prisoner", lying that she finished earlier and only came there since she was free. Wanting to tease her friend/rival about her feelings for Senpai, Gamo-chan told her that if she wanted to free him she had to defeat them in some games at the festival. Competitive as always, Nagatoro accepted the challenge but not without insisting that she didn't care for Senpai at all. They began with a shooting game, splitting for a 2 vs 2 team battle in which the winner would have been the pair who managed to get the most decent prizes. Paired in the same team with Yoshi, after playing some other games, Nagatoro and Senpai managed to win a big Squiddy plushes and, knowing Yoshi collected them, Nagatoro gave it to her, thus "bribing" her and winning the contest. Gamo-chan immediately freed Senpai from the collar, jokingly telling him to "pay attention not to getting caught again", and left together with Yoshi in order to let the pair enjoy some time alone at the festival.

New semester
The first day of the new semester, after class, Gamo-chan sat at the gazebo in the park close to Nagatoro's home chatting with Yoshi, Sakura and Nagatoro herself when they were approached by a couple of boys who started to hitting on them, although she remain rather aside in the conversation. When Senpai, who was looking at them from a distance too embarrassed to come any closer, stepped out of his hideout, Gamo-chan greeted him amicably and asked him to sit with them, giving the boy enough confidence to propose Nagatoro to walk home with him. The girl accepted, thus making Gamo-chan smile in approval, she immediately joined the pair alongside the other two girls and leave the two guys behind; after Senpai asked if it was okay for the girls not staying with them, they told him those two were "annoying" and started to jokingly tease him. All five of them smiled heartily.

The next day, after she and Yoshi skipped club practice and were punished, they met Senpai and Sakura in their classroom since the girl have asked him to help her bring there some boxes. Knowing Sakura seductive skills, Gamo-chan told Senpai to be careful since Nagatoro would snap if she saw him acting like that with her friend. In that moment a splinter inside the wooden box he was carrying went into Senpai's finger and Sakura offered to yank it off for him, while Gamo-chan and Yoshi immediately dragged him inside their classroom closing the door behind. Passing by the corridor, Nagatoro saw it, eavesdropped from behind the door, misunderstood that Sakura intended to "jerk off" the boy instead of "yank off" the splinter, get jealous and storm into the room angered only to discovered about her error; frustrated yet too prideful to admit it, Nagatoro simply took the tweezers from Sakura and yank off Senpai's splinter herself as her friends applauded.

Few days after this, Gamo-chan, Yoshi, Sakura and Nagatoro watch from their classroom window as the second year students were having a marathon, immediately spotting Senpai and marveling at how poorly he was performing, since he was way behind everyone else.

After the school cafeteria where Gamo-chan and her friends usually chat has been invaded by a group of boys they deemed as "loud and annoying" the girls turned to the teachers but they told 'em to solve it on their own, prompting them to decide to hang out in the art club room instead, while Sakura is working on seducing them one by one in order to sew seeds of jealousy in the group and making it collapse as they all began to compete for her attention. After they explained the situation to Senpai, complaining on how all men are driven primarily by their sexual desires, Gamo-chan teased Nagatoro stating that Senpai instead doesn't have any libido, prompting the girl to made a bet with her friend that if she find a lewd book hidden in the room by him she would have proved he was actually a quiet pervert. Nagatoro turned the room upside down, Senpai yelled he's not hiding anything, to which both Yoshi and Gamo-chan agreed despite Nagatoro stating that he was losing his cool since she was about to find his porn. After a while Senpai began to feel bad about Nagatoro losing the bet and, taking advantage of a moment of distraction from the girls, sneaked inside the prep room, where he hid Yagamirin Tarou's "Paradise Harem", took it and allow Nagatoro to find it. The girl was overjoyed and started to playfully tease him, while Gamo-chan and Yoshi watched the scene perplexed.

One day, Nagatoro noticed Senpai are having bento for lunch recently but the one she saw was very messed up, she made fun of him but then spent the evening preparing an homemade bento with the intention to share it with him the following day, confiding it to Gamo-chan; however her plan backfired since, feeling offended for her comments the previous day, Senpai has prepared an exceptionally well-made bento in order to teach Nagatoro a lesson. Marveled, Gamo-chan asked the boy to exchange a piece of her lunch with a bite of his bento and has a "foodgasm", thus trying to talk a stubbornly upset Nagatoro to taste it too. Due to Nagatoro refusing out of pride, wanting to help her, Gamo-chan suggested Senpai to swap a dish with Nagatoro, finding he was as determined as her friend in not asking for the swap first. In order to resolve the stalemate, Gamo-chan revealed that she was surprised Senpai made chicken that spicy as he wasn't good with spicy food while Nagatoro loved it, prompting the boy to admit it was actually too spicy for him, this granted Nagatoro the chance to ask for a swap making it seem like she was doing a favor to him; she gave Senpai the homemade dish she knew was his favorite and Gamo-chan watched amused as her friend ate Senpai's chicken and has a "foodgasm" just like she and Yoshi has had.

After Sakura began getting stalked by one of the many boys who compete for her attention and asked Senpai to pretend to be her boyfriend in order to discouraged him from continuing. Jealous, Nagatoro tried to convince her friend to change her mind, calling Senpai "dangerous as a vermin", but she was ignored and caused the opposite effect convincing Senpai to play along with the gal's plan. The following day, being Saturday, Senpai and Sakura went on their fake date while Nagatoro, Gamo-chan and Yoshi followed them recording everything with their smartphones. Gamo-chan teased Nagatoro saying it was like an anime plot when "two people went on a fake date but real feeling start to blossom" thus getting her friend frustrated despite firmly refusing to admit it. Before Senpai and Sakura could get too close, Nagatoro captured the stalker and forced him to promise that he would never do it again, putting an end to the charade despite Gamo-chan remained a little upset as she was actually planning to take shots of said date.

While they were all on the art club room, Nagatoro told Gamo-chan and Yoshi how she scared Senpai with the idea of repeat one year and be in their same class, thus making him fanatically study to pass the exam. Amused the three girls started to toy with the idea of what would they do if he failed the grade two times thus making them "his senpais". However, as the boy started to fear the three girls would have enslaved him if that ever happened, Sakura reassured Senpai that it won't happen because other than Nagatoro both she and the other two girls will have to take supplementary lessons due to their low academic results. Embarrassed, both Gamo-chan and Yoshi asked Senpai to tutor them, making Nagatoro jealous.

Culture Festival
After Nagatoro asked acquaintances in the handicrafts club to made her a perfect Nekotoro costume and insisted for Senpai to say something, getting really mad when he simply complimented how the outfit was well made, Gamo-chan and Yoshi peered into the art club room.

Later, posing for him, Nagatoro teases Senpai on making her look sexy while her friends laughed at his embarrassment. Then, the girls started to chat regarding what they planned to do with their clubs or class for the Cultural Festival, with Gamo-chan explaining she was in charge of the haunted house organized by their class. When Nagatoro asked to Senpai what would be the art club exhibition he stared into space and began remembering the previous year; then, after she woke him up from his memories, he answered that he would probably make an art display, causing the girls to said it would be boring and that they would give him an hand to fire it pu a little. While they all ironically suggested way to made his display more appealing, the boy heard some familiar footsteps and asked them to hid in the prep room right before the President entered with a stern expression. While the President told Senpai she was disappointed for him inviting people and being rowdy, eavesdropping on their conversation hidden in the prep room, Sakura, Yoshi and especially Gamo-chan all teased Nagatoro saying that beautiful older girl is probably Senpai's ex. After the President informed Senpai that she was thinking about disbanding the club leaving him unable to reply, Nagatoro came out of the prep room with her friends. Sporting her usual, calm expression, Gamo-chan watched as her friend confronted the President, eventually accepting her challenge in Senpai's stead.

After the President left Nagatoro started to do a mocking impression of her with her friends, prompting Senpai to stop them saying that they were the ones at fault and that they had zero chances of victory against her. To cheer him up the four girls all offered to lend him an hand, suggesting to make his display a "kitty-kitty cosplay art café", but Senpai began praising the President's talent telling them of the many awards she won and that the previous year the art club display ranked 6th in the popularity contest on over 50-60 exhibits. Hearing this all four of the girls realized Senpai has quite a crush for the President, much to Nagatoro dismay; however after Gamo-chan asked how could it be that an high schooler's painting ranked that high in a popularity contest Senpai shown them the President's picture that gathered so much attention: a nude self-portrait. The shocked girls all realized how it could have been that popular, prompting Nagatoro to said it was a lewd pornographic painting. Gamo-chan told everything the boy has to do was painting something equally amazing, to which Nagatoro replied she would have modeled for him, even wearing a swimsuit if he really begged her. Senpai replied that he wasn't confident enough to being able to match the President's talent, while Gamo-chan pointed out he was actually already losing a lot in term of "material of work", referring the President's massive boobs compared with Nagatoro's petite chest.

Nagatoro sulk at Gamo-chan for having dissed her, despite the latter explaining it wasn't her intention since she only meant a big-breasted model usually gathered a bigger crowd, also she told her that being a little cute is nothing paragoned to a body like the President's, however Senpai claimed that both Nagatoro and the President are charming in their own way, finally prompting Gamo-chan to apologize to her friend. Heartened, Nagatoro asked Senpai how she preferred to paint her, however he told her that he didn't want to use her as his model since if he dragged her into that match and lose it would be embarrassing for her. Offended, Nagatoro stormed off the room, soon followed by her friends, all of whom lightly scolded him for hurting Nagatoro's feelings. Over the next days, after Senpai asked Nagatoro to be his model and started doing sketches of her even while eating with the rest of the group at the cafeteria, Gamo-chan asked him why he was doing it there, prompting him to answer he wanted to try creating a slice-of-life on Nagatoro.After he shown his paintings to Yoshi, Sakura and Gamo-chan, they were all impressed by them and the latter told him is like he looked at her as a lover, embarrassing both Nagatoro and Senpai. Then, Gamo-chan suggested to sneak a peek at the President's work, convincing all the gang to do it except for Senpai; however after seeing it the girls came back shocked and Nagatoro fainted. Thus, Gamo-chan and Sakura planned to be "cunning" as the President and began to make a plan to fight back against her new work and, although Senpai claimed they didn't needed to do anything weird as it was a problem between Nagatoro and him, the girls thrown him out of the room telling they would do their best to ready her up. Then they choreographed a dance featuring Nagatoro in her cat costume, together with Yoshi and Sakura wearing mascot costumes, the "I'll Bully You Dance" and uploaded it on YouTube making it the talk of the school also selling some related straps, that became amazingly popular.

The day of the Cultural Festival, the girls entered Senpai's display and Nagatoro performed said dance, prompting people who have seen the video began gathering all around the display to be willingly bullied by the so-called "Toro-Cat". A boy complimented the paintings and asked her out, making Senpai jealous, then, although she seemed not interest as always, under her friends pressures - especially Gamo-chan - she started to act with the boy like she always do with Senpai, causing more and more people to came in order to be treated in the same way. As the hours passed lots of people also went to see the President's new nude self-portrait, however Senpai's exhibition seemed to gathered more interest.

At 12:10 Gamo-chan made Senpai and Nagatoro to go get some food so that they can spent some time together. When Nagatoro - mad at Senpai for having been complimented by some girls - try o make an excuse saying she couldn't just leave the exhibition as she was sulking at Senpai, Gamo-chan replied that Yoshi and Sakura could work harder to fill the void; however after Sakura revealed she had actually sneaked away to take some ice cream leaving one of the boy who adore her as a substitute in her mascot costume, Gamo-chan get mad and started to beat him alongside Yoshi.

While the President is escorted away due to her painting being deemed as "too immoral for a school" by the student council, Nagatoro and Gamo-chan forced her to admit they have won the match as she lose due to disqualification and, after exulting with Yoshi and Sakura, in order to further humiliate her the girls forced the President to wear a skimpy bunny suit and sell their straps all over the school. After getting a sold out they allowed her to go and, while Gamo-chan was counting the money they obtained from that, Nagatoro said she would have taken a little walk around too, although all of her friends cheerfully realized she was actually planning to go to Senpai to invite him at the live concert, causing Gamo-chan to smile kindly and wishing her "good luck".

The following day, Gamo-chan and Yoshi met Senpai and Nagatoro on the street after she hit him for having accidentally groped her right breast, and greet them nonchalantly.

Sometimes later, Nagatoro and her friends invited Senpai to a sushi all you can eat restaurant to have a Culture Festival wrap up party with them since they sincerely intended to celebrate him and the success they had. After Gamo-chan offered Senpai a special recipe that she composed, prompting Yoshi and Sakura to improvise and do the same, feeling jealous, Nagatoro tried to make her own special dish, overdoing it and taking half of the rao for a tarako gunkan and placing in it half of the milt from a shirako gunkan to create, in her words: "a miraculous meeting between and milt that could get someone's stomach pregnant". This shocked the whole gang, prompting even Yoshi to describe it as "disgusting". While her friends scolded Nagatoro for playing with food like that, however, feeling bad for her Senpai decided to try it, finding it surprisingly "delicious".

Coming of winter
One day of the following week, Gamo-chan was chatting in the cafeteria with Senpai and her friends about a group of boys from session 1-A having been suspended for drinking alcohol at the party after the Culture Festival, although the girls criticized those boys for having been "stupid and cocky", Senpai can't help but believe they were habitual alcohol drinker too; he didn't expressed those thought out loud but they guessed it and scolded him for being rude. Then Nagatoro imagined what would have Senpai looked like drinking in a not so far off future, resulting in the group's hilarity.

During the school wide marathon, Gamo-chan and the girls approached Senpai proposing him a race. He tried to refuse saying he'd rather run at his own pace but the group try to persuade him telling that it could be like in the fable of "The Tortoise and the Hare", thus they won't let their guard down, to which he joke that they're more like cats than hares. Right at that time they saw the President overrun them all dressed in her bunny suit since cosplaying was allowed. Thus, the girls get motivated into "beating the hare" and, after Senpai wished them good luck as the President was one of her class top athlete, Nagatoro reminded him that it is the tortoise who should beat the hare, thus meaning he was the one who must race her. Although he was skeptical, the girls supported him saying they would pour their power on him, forming a line to push one another in order to booster his speed, however after arriving a crosswalk Nagatoro and Senpai are separated from the other girls due to a traffic light, then Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura told them that they should keep going and they would definitely catch up with them, which they did few minutes later while Nagatoro was carrying Senpai due to him having twisted an ankle, they help carrying the boy in a sort of human cart quoting that "a tortoise might be slow, but if you give it a booster, then it can fly". Racing all together in said formation, the gang managed to reach the President however, as she was still faster than them, Gamo-chan told Yoshi to run in front of them using her almost superhuman speed to act as a windbreak and increasing their speed, narrowly managing to beat the President, albeit getting disqualified by the teachers because of their formation.

First name arc
Sometime after this, when Senpai went to the first year's floor in order to give Nagatoro her smartphone after she forget it in the art club room, he saw Gamo-chan and Yoshi coming out of their class and went to the cafeteria for lunch. Not wanting to be caught, the boy hid in a closet inside section C.

Two days after this, Senpai became worried because he hadn't seen Nagatoro nor have received any text from her during said period so he went asking Yoshi and Gamo-chan about it, prompting the latter to reveal him that she simply got a cold but had recovered pretty quickly and would return to school the following day. Realizing how he felt, Gamo-chan asked Senpai if he knew where Nagatoro lived and, after he replied affirmatively, ask him to visit her and bring her some printout in her place.

The following morning, while walking to school with Yoshi and Sakura, Gamo-chan caught Senpai and Nagatoro while they were holding their hands, smiling she immediately commented on how brave they were for doing it in public, leading an embarrassed Nagatoro to quickly trying to denying it, saying to them that she was merely trying a judo move on him, without sounding believable to anyone.

Christmas
Few days later, after entering the art club room to hang out with them, Yoshi, Sakura and Gamo-chan found Nagatoro intent in choking Senpai in a submission move due to not wanting to answer his questions on the stance she just used to pose for him. While the first two simply told playfully Senpai to surrender in order to get freed from Nagatoro's move, seeing the painting Gamo-chan got quite emotional, saying heartwhelmingly to Nagatoro that "it has been a while since the last time" and asking with evident nostalgia if she wanted to give it another try. Senpai asked what they were talking about, but Nagatoro stormed out of the room saying she won't tell him.

On Christmas Eve, right after the principal speech to the students, Gamo-chan planned to invite everyone at the karaoke and got upset after both Sakura and Rabi-chan dumped her due to having other plans (respectively with a casual date, the former, and her boyfriend, the latter); thus leaving only Yoshi and Nekoba to join her. After a brief fight between the "girls with boys" and the "girls without boys", an offended Gamo-chan asked Nagatoro if she would have came to the karaoke, leading Nekoba to ask her if she and Senpai were dating or not, which caused both of them to blush. After Nagatoro denied being Senpai's girlfriend, Gamo-chan told both her and the boy to join them, however Senpai refused while using an excuse and is quickly joined by Nagatoro in running out of the room. Yoshi and Sakura commented gleefully on how obvious it was that they actually wanted to remain alone, to which Gamo-chan agreed - reconciling with Sakura in the process; later the girl went at the karaoke alongside Nekoba and Yoshi as the self-proclaimed "boyless group". There, Gamo-chan performed 's "" while the extremely tone-deaf Yoshi tried to accompanied her.

New Year
During the ski trip with their school, Nagatoro, Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura's talent as they managed effortlessy to ski down the pro course greatly impressed Senpai and his classmates. Later, as Nagatoro gave the boy ski training due to his clumsiness, Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura passed by and greeted them. That night, after Senpai refused Nagatoro's invitation at skiing with her, Gamo-chan approached him asking the reason behind it, prompting the latter to admit he felt embarrassed by his poor skiing ability and won't weighing Nagatoro down. Hearing that, Gamo-chan walked away, sweetly replying that the gap in skills between them was not the real issues, which lead Senpai to reach for Nagatoro. The next morning, she watched as Senpai's classmates ask him to show what he learned for Nagatoro ("his private instructor") however, after he eventually accept, all he managed to do is fall on the snow causing the whole gang to burst out laughing.

Judo Tournament
Sometime later, with the school year nearing its end, right after discovering about the school's judo tournament Gamo-chan and Yoshi stormed into the art club room to ask Nagatoro if she wanted to join it but Senpai informed them that the girl hdan't came that day, prompting Gamo-chan to sadly state that "she still feel like that about judo", to which Senpai asked her more about it. Pleased at the boy's interest, Gamo-chan gave him a flyer of GAMOU Fighting Gym, explaining it to be her family business and telling him to giving it a try; stunning Senpai as he noticed a picture of Nagatoro on it, promoting a newcomer course. Gamo-chan told Senpai to visit her family's gym that Saturday, and the boy went there while she was boxing with Nagatoro, thus distracting the latter and leading to her being knocked out with a single punch. Embarassed, Nagatoro accused Senpai to having followed her there calling him a stalker, only to be scolded by Gamo-chan not to "rough up" her costumers, thus prompting the girl to reply she invited him only to prank her. Later, she had some training with the punching bag and subsequently went to her lunch break with the other trainers telling Nagatoro to watch the place while she's not there, thus leaving her alone with Senpai as they practice some judo. After she came back from her lunch break, Gamo-chan has another match with Nagatoro while Senpai, the costumers ant the trainer look at their amazing physical performance. Few days later the school's judo tournament began and on her first round Gamo-chan faced Olympic judo team candidate Orihara, being effortlessly overpowered. Afterward, she commented with her friend that Nagatoro would have to face Orihara in the following round, referencing their past together. Despite Orihara being friendly and telling Nagatoro she hoped to have "another exciting match" with her, the latter leaves the judo hall disconsolate much to Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura's chagrin. Then, Gamo-chan cheered for Senpai during his match alongside Yoshi and Sakura, being positively surprised when the boy managed to put up a good fight and especially when Nagatoro joined them in cheering him. Even when the boy lose by points, Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura commented positively how well he performed, then when Nagatoro decided to fight Orihara they all cheered for her during the match.

Second year of high school
After the new school year officially begun, she joined the judo club alongside Nagatoro and, on the first day, went to the art club room in order to go at the practice with her friend, however, seeing the latter saddened due to not wanting to leave Senpai alone with Sunomiya, Gamo-chan teased her asking Senpai if he was "switching girl"; embarassed the boy explained her that he and Nagatoro were simply trying their best separately. Then Sunomiya reassured Nagatoro to leave Senpai in her care and stripped down saying she was ready to pose for him in the nude rather than a simple swimsuit. Outraged, Nagatoro told Sunomiya to put her clothes on again commenting that she's just like the former President, to wich Senpai pointed out that she's actually the President's cousin. Later, after performing badly at practice Nagatoro and Gamo-chan chatted about how rusty they are due to not practicing it properly for years; the girls are soon joined by Orihara who told Gamo-chan not to worry that much as she need time being still a white belt, however she also pointed out that Nagatoro seemed distracted and asked her if something was wrong; Gamo-chan immediately told Orihara that Nagatoro was "worried her boyfriend would be stealed by a rival" now that she was buisy with club practice and can't hang out in his club room as much as before. Nagatoro was visibly embarrassed by the chat between her best friend and her rival; however, despite firmly denying the boy in question being her boyfriend, when Orihara suggested her to choose between love and judo, she indirectly state she would have both.

First date arc
Later, Yoshi went to pick up Gamo-chan after practice and the two walked home together while also walking Yoshi's pet dog; after they arrived at the fork both of them overheard Senpai asking out Nagatoro for a date at the aquarium and smiled. The morning after, an overjoyed Nagatoro slightly annoyed her friends with her behavior, going as far as to force Yoshi to sing a song with her. Then, after Gamo-chan suggested to visit Senpai due to having finished club practice earlier than usual, Nagatoro refused, causing Gamo-chan to losing her cool and panicking at the realization that Nagatoro was "leaving the best for last"; thus fearing for Senpai's virginity. She and Yoshi ran to the art club room, but finding only Sunomiya due to Senpai being outside buying painting supplies, then the pair began plotting to follow the couple right in front of Sunomiya and, the following day, as Nagatoro and Senpai met at the aquarium for their date, Gamo-chan, Yoshi, Sunomiya and her cousin all followed them, the first two to "protect Senpai's virginity" while the latter pair to "protect his romance".

Convinced that it's too soon for Nagatoro and Senpai to take that step, Gamo-chan - aided by Yoshi - started to take pictures of their "embarrassing scenes" in order to open their eyes, however both them and the Sunomiya duo, lost track of the couple after they entered the aquarium and, when they finally found them again, Senpai noticed teir presence and run away with Nagatoro. Gamo-chan and Yoshi tried to follow them but are stopped by the Sunomiya cousins.

Due to Senpai's plan being boring and revolving around visiting Buddhist art locations, Nagatoro was the first one to sign up, followed by Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura, out of simpathy for the boy and mutch for the joy of the only other applicants: his two male friends. However, after joining it, they also started to change the program radically: Nagatoro added a trip to Kyoto's aquarium, Gamo-chan added a visit to the base, Sakura an excursion to  and finally Yoshi a jaunt to  in order to feed deer. Senpai tried to convince the girls that there wouldn't be enough time for everything they wanted to do in the field trip's schedule, to which they asked him to remove some of the buddhist temples from the program, prompting the boy to oppose the idea and try to explain the beauty of each statue.

Luckily, the couple start calling each other names in order to allow the boy finding the way once again; prompting the girls to try attack one more time, being quickly stopped by Oriaha's and Shikki's intervention, and subsequently spanked by Gamo-chan and Yoshi.
