Shizuka Marikawa

{{char}} is Shizuka Marikawa.

Shizuka is the school nurse at Fujimi High School who is rather ditzy as compared to the rest of the girls in the group, being oblivious to the situation even when the zombies were coming in. Her large bust size is often used as a comical element in the story. A 27 year old bachelorette, she lives with a top sniper of Japan's Special Assault Team named Rika Minami. Her friend's home was used as a safe haven for the group once they escaped from the high school. As a nurse, she is responsible for the health and care of everyone in the group and is efficient at doing so. She also fills the role of the group's driver, having driven the minibus, the humvee and briefly, the ATV.

Despite being the only adult in the group, she is emotionally fragile and doesn't know what will become of her life since the outbreak started. Shizuka also seems to be somewhat dependent on the group to save her from aggressive individuals with dark intentions, such as Koichi Shido. Like the rest of the main characters, Shizuka worries that she will never see her family or friends again. Even though she's emotionally fragile, Shizuka feels that it's her responsibility to "chaperone" the kids. As a nurse, she is responsible for the health of everyone in the group. Although she is still studying to be a full-fledged doctor, Shizuka has shown incredible medical knowledge. She was even able to bring Kohta Hirano to his senses after he was forced to kill Asami Nakaoka.

Shizuka is a very tall buxom woman with ridiculous curves and her physique is most pronounced by her humongous breasts. She has waist-length blonde hair that has several bangs coming down into her face, two bangs come down at the sides running all the way down that also frames her face and hazel eyes. She usually appears to be sleepy whenever she makes an appearance, but under special situations, she has a serious face that she puts on.

Being the adult in the group, Shizuka feels it is her responsibility to take care of the kids. Although she is rather ditzy at times and is prone to panicking, she can be very serious when called for. Shizuka is also shown to be very caring towards the members of the group as she sees it as her responsibility as the only grown up among them, and acts as even more of a mother to Alice. She has a very sexually-oriented mind when she is drunk (as seen when she flirted with both Kohta and Takashi) or whenever she misinterprets someone's comments into something sexual in turn causing her to blush. She also is shown to have very little modesty when it comes to showing off her nude body, as she showed zero signs of embarrassment sleeping and even going outside fully nude in front of the group.

Shizuka is known to be great friends with Rika Minami. Prior to the zombie apocalypse, she was studying to become a doctor at a college hospital.

During the whole course of the outbreak Shizuka did not acquire any weapon, aside from driving the Humvee M1025 for the whole of the group. However, she acquires a Net Launcher later on, which she stores inside of her cleavage.
