Personality
Nekoba is easy-going, chatty and very blunt, making absolutely no qualms in telling Sakura that her attitude towards boys make her seem "a big slut", however she's also very polite and her statements were never ill-intended. Despite at first sight seeming a little shallow, to the point of stating that she could even forgive a guy for "being naughty" if he's hot, she actually confessed that the type of boys she's into are reliable ones. Also, Nekoba didn't hides her envy for her friends who manages to get boyfriends easily, while she seem to have trouble in doing so and seems to have anger management issues, getting annoyed very easily.

She is also quite inquisitive and insightful, having noticed how much Nagatoro has changed regarding romance during their first year of high school.

Sometime during their second semester, the girl, Rabi-chan, Sakura and Nagatoro reunite in their class few moment before the end of lunch break and start to talk about Rabi-chan having recently started dating a boy in the baseball club. The conversation quickly switch over what types of boys each of them are into and, when they urged the reluctant Nagatoro to answer said question too, the latter answered that her type of boy is simply "someone who's fun to be with". Then, Nagatoro noticed her smartphone was missing and Sakura suggested she probably left it in "the club room", causing their classmates to ask if the reason she attended that place so much lately was a boy; both Nagatoro and Senpai blushed and the latter - hidden in the closet - panicked causing a noise that drag the girl's attention to it. When Nagatoro went opening the closet she found Senpai inside and, despite at first visibly mad at him, she invented and excuse to distract Sakura and her classmates dragging Senpai out of her class.

Christmas
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, thus a brief fight between the "girls with boys" and the "girls without boys" ensue. After Gamo-chan asked Nagatoro if she would have came to the karaoke, Nekoba ask her if she and Senpai were dating or not, causing both of them to blush. Out of embarrassment, however, Nagatoro quickly denied it saying she simply like to toy with the boy; then after Nagatoro and Senpai left the room with an excuse, Nekoba went at the karaoke alongside Gamo-chan and Yoshi as the self-proclaimed "boyless group". There, she gets quite annoyed as the extremely tone-deaf Yoshi tried to accompanied Gamo-chan while the latter performed 's "".

 * This happened even with the supporting characters - Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura - however, unlike them, she's more of a classmate to Nagatoro than a friend, as they didn't seem to hang out with each other out of school, at last until the end of the first semester.
 * The first two kanji of her last name means "cat" (ネコ) while the last, ba (バ) doesn't have a proper translation. It may be a pun of the author on her cat-like smile.
 * She seems to have a crush for a boy called Yuki, which she described as the ideal reliable kind of guy she's into, and is later reveled to be a popular.
