Nami Asaji

Nami Asaji (Asanuma) is Takato Matsuki's 26-year-old teacher.

Bio
Although she is a teacher, she's the worst kind - one who doesn't like teaching. In the Japanese version, she works as a teacher because it makes her look good in the community.

From the antics of Takato and his friends to the unwelcome advances of her co-worker, Mori, Miss Asaji's patience is often pretty strached. Other members of her class, besides Takato, include Kazu Shioda, Kenta Kitagawa, their friend Jeremy, Jeri Katou, and her friends Miki and Ayaka. There are plenty of other kids in her class who have gone nameless but have voiced their opinions on the various strange goings-on at the school.

When the Tamers decided to go to the Digital World to rescue Calumon, Miss Asaji had Takato, Jeri, Kazu and Kenta stay after school to write essaysHowever, what they wrote instead were letters explaining that they wouldn't be in school because they were going to the Digital World. When Asaji read them, she ran after them to try and convince them not to go, fearing for their safety (However, in the Japanese version, in accordance with her personality there, she was more concerned with how allowing them to go off into a dangerous other world would reflect on her).

During one of the battles against the D-Reaper, Hypnos was able to hack into the its signal, and saw through the Digimon's data, realizing for the first time that the kids had actually merged with their Digimon. The signal was broadcast all over the city, and among those who saw it were Nami and her class. They all ran out to watch the battle and give their support.

After the D-Reaper's defeat, Nami was glimpsed teaching class one more time.

Trivia

 * Nami Asaji's English voice was supplied by Lara Jill Miller (A US production in-joke based on the fact that Hikari "Kari" Kamiya, who was also voiced by Miller, wanted to be a teacher).

Name

 * On a few occasions, Miss Asaji is referred to as "Miss Nami". This is her first name, and it's used in the credits, which read "Lara Jill Miller as Nami". However, the number of times she is referred to as "Miss Asaji" far outweigh the number of times she's called "Miss Nami".
 * The actual spelling of "Asaji" is not confirmed by any official source as of yet. Variations you'll see others using include "Asahi", "Isagi" and "Isaji", because the pronunciation of her name tends to fluctuate in different episodes, although the Japanese name lends credit to spellings starting with "Asa".
