Who they are

On the official English character page, Nago is Early 30s and a city-office worker who wants land for solar panels. Villagers keep their distance. His story’s ending is not on the official page.

The same page does not list a romance, dating, or marriage field for any villager. Friendship gifts are a separate system.

Gifts

Liked examples recorded by one Traditional Chinese guide: hometown set meal, pickled plum, wine, tourmaline.

Disliked examples from that same single source: rhinoceros beetle, stag beetle, crucian carp, carp. English item names are not confirmed on an official list, so these stay in the community wording.

What is not published

Event dates, required friendship ranks, and the ending of this villager’s personal story are not on the official page. Those fields stay empty here.
