Misa Kitagawa is a supporting character in the anime Photo Kano. She serves as the homeroom teacher for class 2-B at the high school attended by the protagonist Kazuya Maeda and his classmates. Her subject is English, and she approaches her work with a strong sense of purpose, considering teaching to be her true calling in life. This dedication makes her thorough and conscientious in guiding her students.

Her personality is described as harsh and somewhat strict, which, combined with a tendency to be untidy and disorganized, results in a lack of romantic interest from others and no known love life. Despite her stern exterior, she is committed to her students' well-being and academic progress. She supervises Momoko Ōtani, a student under her care, and maintains a professional but firm presence in the classroom.

Misa Kitagawa has short black hair and grey eyes. She does not undergo significant character development over the course of the story, remaining a stable background figure who enforces school rules and provides occasional guidance to the main characters. Her notable abilities lie in her teaching expertise, particularly in English, and her ability to manage a classroom of second-year high school students.
