"Nozomi" is Japanese for "hope". One could read many things into why I came up with that, but I have my reasons.

A 2005 model, she is slightly different in many ways than her predecessor Yamiko-chan. Slightly more power, slightly different headlight style, all sorts of tweaks and adjustments. There is much that is interchangeable, and there is much that is not.

She now has her own LJ. There aren't many entries for the first year, but that was also the case with Yamiko-chan.

Image generated with 3D Custom Girl. Naturally, due to her being the same model, I would expect that she would resemble Yamiko-chan, but there would be notable differences as well. More information to be provided as available.
