Natsuko is a thief who appeared in the later episodes of New Cutie Honey. While having the same given name as Natsuko Aki the characters are unrelated.
Personality[]
Natsuko is a street-wise individual who at first only looked after herself, believing there was no one she could trust in Cosplay City. Meeting Honey and the Hayami Family, however, caused her to open up a bit and become more supportive in the battle against the returned Panther Zora. Natsuko reveals that the reason why she and her gang stole the bomb in episode 5 was to hold Cosplay City for ransom and use the resulting payoff to secure a good life for themselves. She considers her group to be a family and the only ones she can count on. Because of this, she is horrified when Gene goes ballistic after becoming possessed by Zora and murders the other members. She starts to develop romantic feelings for Chokkei and sticks around to call him “boy”, mostly to teasing him. The feeling is mutual between the two.
Abilities[]
Natsuko is a skilled pickpocket able to take belongings without anyone's notice. She is also a decent runner that can escape her pursuers whenever possible.

Stage 5- Challenge! "Fangs of the Evil Beast"
Natsuko makes her debut in episode five. She and her gang, which consists of herself, Pokey, Jan, and Gene (who seems to be the group's leader) hatch a scheme to steal a bomb from the criminal Scavenger who was battling Honey at the time. Disguising herself as a member of the bomb squad, Natsuko manages to steal the bomb with Gene's help but is pursued by the police, who the gang is able to disable with various tactics. Honey, Chokkei and Danbei manage to catch up with them but Chokkei ends up getting thrown into the gang's van during the chaotic chase, becoming their hostage, which they aren't happy about. Another gang attacks the group intending to steal the bomb for their own purposes, but Gene is able to defeat them while Natsuko stays in the van with Chokkei. When Gene becomes possessed by Zora, she uses her new acid abilities to not only disintegrate the rival gang but her own as well, much to Natsuko's horror. She attempts to reason with her but Gene loses her humanity due to Zora and tries to kill her too, as well as detonate the bomb to destroy the city, but she is saved by Honey and Danbei's arrival. Honey manages to kill Gene while Danbei uses his rocket arm to propel the bomb above the city, where it explodes safely. Chokkei stays with Natsuko during the fight but she is left devastated by the events as her friends are all gone now.
Stage 6- "The Alluring Vengeful Demon"
Not long after the previous events, Natsuko is shown saddened over what happened to her friends. Chokkei accompanies her, much to her annoyance as she just wants to be alone. The two come to a river where Natsuko settles and laments that she doesn't understand why everyone, especially Honey, is so nice to her after the trouble she caused earlier, telling Chokkei that it confuses her. Chokkei states that it's simply because Honey is worried about her but Natsuko states that she can take care of herself and is better off by herself. Chokkei however, doesn't believe her and tells her that people need each other, especially during hard times. Natsuko lightens up and begins teasing him about having an attraction to Honey which embarrassed Chokkei, who angrily tells her that isn't the case and to stop calling him 'Kid'. Unbeknownst to the two, Honey herself and Danbei are secretly spying on them. Akakabu and Daiko are also nearby spying on them with the two wondering if Chokkei is going to make a move on Natsuko. The two get carried away and tumble down a hill together, bumbing into their son and accidentally knocking him into the river. When Honey pulls Chokkei out, Natsuko and the others are horrified when he emerges with a man's body clinging to him. The group then gets teleported to the abandoned samurai amusement park by Yasha. Natsuko ends up with Chokkei while Honey and Danbei are teleported to another area with Akakabu and Daiko being elsewhere. Soon, the robots in the park come to life and begin chasing everyone. Honey confronts Yasha while the others regroup and face off against the robots, buying themselves time until honey can defeat Yasha who is being fueled by Zora's power. After the battle is over, Natsuko remembers the park was once famous but closed down. When Honey states that Yasha must have been so lonely it startles Natsuko, as she realizes that she too has felt lonely since losing her friends.
