Nodoka Toyohama (豊浜 のどか, Toyohama Nodoka) is one of the main characters of Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume Wo Minai series. She is the younger half-sister of Mai Sakurajima and a member of an idol group named Sweet Bullet.
Nodoka is quite confident and competitive but has a potent inferiority complex towards her sister. At the start of the series, the two sisters are somewhat hostile towards each other. Still, after what happened, they become very close, and she's ultimately kind like the other main characters. Nodoka later befriends Kaede.
Nodoka was born after Mai Sakurajima's father remarried another woman. As a child, she met Mai for the first time during one of Mai's auditions and beamed after Mai mentioned that she wanted a little sister.
After Mai's mother made Mai join a troupe out of spite for her ex-husband and Nodoka's mother, the latter earned her daughter join a cast as a way to get back at her. Nodoka later developed an inferiority complex towards her half-sister after her mother kept comparing her success to Mai's.
On the morning of September 1, Nodoka and Mai Sakurajima switched bodies due to Adolescence Syndrome, which prompted Nodoka to head to Mai's apartment. In Nodoka's body, Mai soon met up with them and speculated the body switch as a result of Adolescence Syndrome.
Deciding that they would have to live under each other's lives, she and Mai exchange and discuss their agendas for the month.
At Minegahara High School, Sakuta noticed the way she spoke was much like Mai's, to which Nodoka revealed that she impersonated her as a kid and looked up to her.
At the beach, Nodoka denied Sakuta's suggestion that she wanted to tell Mai that she hated her but realized that Mai most likely had such an idea as well.
Sitting on a bench, Nodoka asked Sakuta if she could sleep at his house but was interrupted by Mai. Nodoka then revealed her feelings of inferiority towards Mai's success before proclaiming that she hated her. Mai claimed ill feelings towards Nodoka as well but blamed their father.
Starting on September 3, Nodoka began life as Mai Sakurajima, from her lonely status at school to modeling for photoshoots along with being interviewed.
On September 12, during a photo shoot, the pressure from the trust people placed on Mai Sakurajima caused Nodoka to hyperventilate and collapse.
That evening in Mai's apartment, Nodoka asked Sakuta if Mai said anything about her and beamed in pleasant surprise after hearing that Mai had no doubt Nodoka would be able to get a good shot.
On September 21, Nodoka and Sakuta watched the Sweet Bullet show, but Nodoka became ashamed after witnessing her mother praise Mai (in Nodoka's body) for her performance. When Nodoka attempted to drown herself, she was stopped by Sakuta, who claimed he had proof that Mai would care if something happened to her.
At Mai's apartment, Sakuta revealed to Nodoka a box filled with letters Nodoka had written to her sister, indicating that Mai didn't hate her. Nodoka was still unconvinced, claiming that she was a nuisance to her older sister. Once Mai stepped into the room, Nodoka exclaimed that she hated how Mai did everything perfectly and that she couldn't compete with that.
In response to Mai's subsequent statement that Nodoka was happy trying to meet her mother's expectations, Nodoka cried that she wanted her mother to compliment her for once. Mai hugged Nodoka, who suggested that she make her happy on her terms.
After spending a brief moment crying uncontrollably, Nodoka was relieved to hear that she didn't have to be precisely like Mai. Eventually, they transformed back to their original appearances.
Nodoka had another fight with her mother shortly after, which prompted her to move into Mai's apartment. She thanked Sakuta for saving her despite the trouble she gave before stating that she somewhat understood why Mai chose him.
