Mitsuru Maeda is a supporting character in the 1991 anime film Roujin Z. He is a 20-year-old male nursing student, in his second year of a nursing school, alongside Haruko Mitsuhashi, Nobuko Ooe, and Tomoe Satou. He has black hair and black eyes. Mitsuru is secretly in love with Haruko, but she shows no romantic interest in him, and he becomes jealous of the elderly patient Kijuro Takazawa, whom Haruko tends to. His role in the story is largely that of a fellow student and colleague in the hospital setting. He does not possess any special abilities beyond his training as a nurse, and his motivations are tied to his personal feelings for Haruko and his studies. There is little documented information about his background, personal development, or further relationships beyond the unrequited affection and his everyday interactions within the nursing school.
