Miscellaneous
- She has her lotus tattoo because of Ren (Ren is a Japanese name for lotus).
- Her name is written in katakana, a contrast to Komatsu's (which is in kanji with the second one being a symbol of repetition for kanji).
- She has been on the cover of every volume of the manga series. Also, the covers depict her activities with Hachi, which includes meeting her in apartment 707, shopping and watching a movie, among others.
- Coincidentally, the favourite designer of Mika Nakashima, the singer/actress who portrayed Nana in the live-action movies, is also Vivienne Westwood. Nakashima also became good friends with Yuna Ito, the actress portraying Reira/Layla (Reira Serizawa), which is ironic, considering that in the manga series, Nana actually dreaded having Reira/Layla around, as she felt that Reira/Layla was too cute for her comfort.
- For her portrayal of Nana in the anime, Romi Park won the "Best Main Character (female)" award at the first Seiyu Awards. Also, at the same ceremony, Aya Hirano, who voiced Reira/Layla, received the "Best Newcomer (female)" award (though for her role as Haruhi Suzumiya), while Akira Ishida, who voiced Shin, received the "Best Supporting Character (male)" award (though for his role as Athrun Zala).
