A fictional [[policewoman]] from near future [[Japan]].

The bubbly, perky [[tomboy]]ish, red-headed gamine labor [[otaku]] from Hokkaidō. The main character of [[kidou_keisatsu_patlabor|Patlabor]], officer [b]Noa Izumi[/b] is usually at the center of the action. Noa loves her labor much like a pet and named it [[alphonse_(av-98_ingram)|"Alphonse"]], a name previously held by a [[pet]] [[dog]] and a pet [[cat]], respectively. 

She's somewhat impulsive, albeit not nearly as much as [[oota_isao|Oota]]. Noa is arguably the best [[mecha]] [[pilot]] in Division 2, although both [[kanuka_clancy|Clancy]] and [[kumagami_takeo|Kumagami]] have shown extreme talent as well but seldom pilot. She has a natural affinity for labors and gets 110% out of them, much to the amazement of her colleagues. Furthermore, she can drink quite a bit more than her co-workers, and recovers from hangovers much faster, since her family runs a liquor store.
