Najimi plays a crucial role in Komi’s development, often taking the awkward girl out of her comfort zone and putting her up to tasks that require the shy girl to apply her communication skills better. Although Najimi’s gender is not directly labeled in Komi Can’t Communicate, most fans assume that they are non-binary due to their chosen pronouns and combination of a feminine and masculine wardrobe. There may, however, be an element of mistranslation, because in the Japanese version, Najimi requests the use of “-chan” alongside their name, which is a feminine identifier....
