Teiko Nabatasai is the seventh rival and one of the female students who attended Akademi in 1980s Mode. Following the game's storyline, she was Ryoba's eighth rival.
Appearance[]
Teiko has waist-length brown hair with two strands framing her face and orange eyes. Her skins appears slightly tanned.
She wears the default 1980s uniform with a pair of white stockings and a peach bow on the back of her head.
Her white stockings represent her not being completely perfect.[2]
Before the November 12th, 2021 Build, her hair was chest-length.
Personality[]
Teiko is Akademi's top student; the smartest girl in school.
She is known for achieving perfect scores on every test and obtaining flawless grades in every school subject.
Her prodigal intelligence is widely recognized, and she is sometimes invited to universities in foreign countries to give speeches about various academic subjects.
Akademi's top student; the smartest girl in school. Perfect scores on every test, flawless grades in every subject.
Among the Personas that are currently implemented in the game, Teiko is Lovestruck. If she witnesses Ryoba Aishi commit murder, she will run to Jokichi Yudasei and inform him that Ryoba is a murderer, causing an automatic Game Over. If she encounters a corpse, she will run to Jokichi and tell him there is a murder in Akademi; the two will then run out of school and call the police.
Teiko will become a Teacher's Pet on subsequent weeks If she is eliminated peacefully.
According to YandereDev, Teiko is very formal, almost "businesslike" in her interactions with others. There is almost never a point in time when she acts silly or demonstrates any sorts of personality flaws. Canonically, even after she got expelled from Akademi, she didn't become vindictive about it, she just went off and became a college professor at a university.[3][4]
Teiko is shown to be secretly incapable of accepting anything less than perfection, so a 99/100 score really, really hurt her as evidenced by her diary, which can be found in her book bag. She wanted to continue telling people that she has scored a 100/100 on every test she's ever taken, and couldn't do that if there was evidence of a 99/100 test in the world.[3]
In her Befriend dialogue, Teiko says she went to Karlheinz Asylum because she was tired of being perfect all the time.
Introduction[]
In the cutscene after eliminating the sixth rival, Teiko's silhouette is seen as Ryoba talks about her Senpai.
"Many girls have competed for my Senpai's heart. Most of them were mere pests rather than actual threats... But the latest one is different. Akademi's top student. The brightest girl in school. Perfect scores on every test. Flawless grades in every subject. The perfect combination of beauty and brains. Any guy at school would be honored to have her attention. If she continues to spend time around my Senpai... There is no doubt that she'll steal him from me. It feels like I've been seeing the police patrolling near Akademi more often lately. The unsolved murder from earlier this year is still a stain on their reputation. Any bloodshed at this point in time could attract unwanted attention... Perhaps I should keep my hands clean from now on. Hmm... Akademi's top student... It sure would be a shame if she was expelled from school, wouldn't it?"

The player can do this in any order, but can only do one a day, before the end of lunch. It takes all week and it's best if Ryoba has a Fake ID from the Yakuza. Using narcotics will lead to her being arrested, not expelled.
- Put Alcohol in her bag and report to the Guidance Counselor.
- Put Condoms in her bag and report to the Guidance Counselor.
- Put Cigarettes in her bag and report to the Guidance Counselor.
- Put stolen property in her bag, and then report.
- Stolen property can be any of these: Stolen Ring, Katana Case Key, Safe Key, Gardening Shed Key, or the Faculty Key Card.

- Use stink bomb to make the teachers go way.
- Use giggles to distract all the teachers.
- Get it at 8:15 AM, distract the gym teacher with a radio.
After that, put it in her bag and report it to the Guidance Counselor.

Trivia[]

- In the aftermath of her week, Teiko, being super intelligent, was able to correctly deduce what happened to her in 1989: She figured that someone at school really, really hated her and wanted her gone at any cost. She understood that attempting to remain at Akademi would probably make her life even worse. She also didn't want to attend school at a place where someone hated her enough to frame her for all sorts of misbehavior. So, she decided to accept her expulsion gracefully and simply continue her life elsewhere. While she didn't develop any resentment towards the staff, she did think less of Akademi and its staff.[3]

Quotes[]
There IS something I need help with, but I could only trust an academic prodigy with the task. In a manner of speaking, you'd need to "fully max out a school subject" before I could ask for your help.
I am assisting the teachers in composing their lesson plans. I've identified which books from Akademi's library would be most useful for helping the teachers with their upcoming lessons.
To make a long story short, I'll summarize the situation thusly: There are six books that need to be carried from the school library to the school's six classrooms and placed on the teachers' podiums.
I can provide you with the names of those books. If you would be willing to travel to the library, collect the books, and bring them to the teachers' podiums, I would be very grateful to you!
Oh, it's ever so gracious of you to offer to help me! Here is the list of books that need to be transported. Thanks in advance for your help!
I see. I shouldn't have bothered you with my request. In retrospect, I suppose it was quite silly of me to assume that I'd find an idle pair of hands in one of the most elite schools on the planet!
You've delivered the books to the podiums? Well done! I appreciate your assistance very much!
Dear...it doesn't take a genius to tell that you were snooping around in my bag...but...nonetheless...I require assistance...
There's an abandoned insane asylum just outside of town. Spending a night there is a popular "test of courage."
I...got tired of being "perfect" and behaving properly all the time, so I decided to be reckless...and I went to the asylum.
In the asylum, I was confronted by a man with a knife. I ran from him, but I got cornered in a room with only one exit.
He blocked the doorway and told me...to strip my clothing off. I was terrified of losing my life, so...I did as I was told.
He didn't lay a hand on me...but he took out a camera and...took a bunch of pictures of me...
Actually, he had a big duffle bag with him. At one point, I saw what was inside...a bunch of photographs of other girls.
Ugh, I bet that creep is the one who started the rumor about the asylum being a good place for a "test of courage..."
I wonder how many other girls have already been victimized in the same way that I was...
Eventually, I saw an opportunity to escape, so I grabbed my clothes and ran away. I still have nightmares about it...
When attorneys show evidence in court, the evidence can be seen by everyone present. I don't want anyone to see those photos!
I've been racking my brain to come up with a solution, but nothing comes to mind. I want the photos to be destroyed, but...
A bunch of homeless people and drug addicts are squatting in the asylum right now. It's become a real dangerous place...
Um - I appreciate you saying so, but - I must caution you against such a course of action. It would be incredibly dangerous...
You...do you truly believe yourself to be capable of completing such a task? I...I suppose...if you really...think you can...
Please, I'm begging you, be as careful as possible. If anything were to go wrong, I'd feel guilty for the rest of my life...
Senpai...may I please have a moment of your time?
It's embarrassing... but I accidentally made an extra bento this morning.
It pains me to see food go to waste...so, I'd like to offer it to you.
Would you? That would make me so happy! Please take it, Senpai!
Wonderful! At 5:15 PM, would you meet me here, so you can tell me how it tasted?
I'm so happy that everything worked out okay!
Hello Senpai! I'm anxious to hear how the bento tasted!
Really? It was? Oh, I'm so happy to hear that!
Oh...honestly, you're too kind! You'll make me blush!
It's a relief to know that I didn't mess it up somehow...
...maybe I'll make you another bento one day! Hehe!
...well...shall we...um...walk home together...?
Oh, delightful! Let's go.
...oh, dear. I anticipate a problem...
What? No! I swear, I'd never prank you!
...no. You're not serious. You don't mean that, do you?
Wait...that bento should have been fine...why...why did...
Hello, Senpai. How are you today?
That's wonderful! I was hoping that you'd bring it!
I'm really looking forward to reading this!
I only want to read one chapter so I can decide if I want to buy it.
I'll read it at lunchtime. When should I return it to you?
That fits into my schedule nicely!
Oh, I loved it! It was wonderful from beginning to end!
Yes! I read the entire thing!
Yes! It was engrossing, I couldn't put it down.
I've been told that I read a bit faster than most people...
I'd love to discuss the ending with you! Shall we walk together?
Excellent! Okay, so, in Chapter 5...
Senpai...I'm sorry, I have some bad news.
I...lost the book that you lent me. I'm so sorry.
I searched for it everywhere, but...I just couldn't find it...
To make up for this, I'll buy you a replacement right away!
...uh...oh...I've...I've really...blundered this time, haven't I...
Hello, Senpai! I have a question for you?
I'd like to know if you'll be free around lunchtime!
You see, there's something I'd like to give you...
Oh... good! Please meet me on the school rooftop for lunch, then.
Heh... I'm not trying to tease you, if that's what you think...
Oh, I'm sorry, I have to go now - I'll see you at lunchtime!
Senpai! I'm glad you're here. Please...take this box, and open it.
Senpai...you're very important to me. I don't want to keep secrets from you.
So...I'm going to confess the truth to you.
Thank you, Senpai. I just couldn't bear the thought of hiding anything from you.
...huh? What's so surprising?
...I...uh...oh...so, not a fan, then...?
...oh...wow...you really...dislike it, then, huh...
...I...I was just trying to...yeah...okay...
Hey, Senpai! We still on for that movie later tonight?
So, just to make sure, we're going to meet up here at 5:15 PM, right?
Phew, I'm glad I remembered the time correctly - (Yawn)
Oh, sorry about that...I guess I didn't get much sleep last night, haha...
Hmm...that might be a good idea. Yeah, I should do that!
Sometimes a big meal puts me right to sleep...
I guess I should be careful what I eat at lunchtime!
Senpai! It's good to see you. Ready to go see that movie?
That's good to hear! Let's go!
Oh, dear...Senpai, you seem rather sad today. What's the matter...?
You're in luck, Senpai! I don't mean to boast, but I happen to take very thorough notes!
I'll simply head over to my desk and create a copy of my notes...
...then, I'll go over to your classroom and put my notes on your desk, okay?
It would be my pleasure, Senpai! It's not any inconvenience at all!
I will want to know if my notes were helpful, so please meet me on the roof at lunchtime!
Senpai! I wrote the best notes for you that I possibly could. Did they help?
I'm glad to hear that! I'm very confident in my ability to take good notes!
Oh, it was nothing! I'd be willing to help you out with academic pursuits anytime!
...what? That's...not possible. My notes should have been perfect.
What?! Something is seriously wrong here. my notes were flawless...
I try to never boast, but...I DO have the best grades in school, so...
...oh...no, no...there's only one explanation...I think I understand...
...I copied the wrong notes by mistake...I'm sorry, Senpai...it's my fault...
