Miss Kinoshita is the homeroom teacher of the class attended by Asakura, Ishida, and their classmates in the anime Ishida and Asakura. She has long maroon hair, yellow eyes, a childlike face, and a large bust, which makes her popular among the male students. However, a key revelation early in the series is that she is actually a man who cross-dresses; she is also the father of two daughters, Nanako and Yaeko. Her personality is outwardly demure and maternal, but the absurdity of her true identity is a recurring source of humor in the surreal comedy. Her motivations are not deeply explored; she simply carries out her role as a teacher and parent. In the story, she serves as a supporting character whose hidden gender is a running gag, and she plays a role in the final episode where she appears on an alien spacecraft and prevents an invasion. She is also the parent of Nanako, who develops a crush on Asakura after he saves her from a traffic accident. Miss Kinoshita does not undergo significant character development; her secret is revealed early and remains a static element. Her notable ability, played for comedic effect, is intervening to stop an alien invasion in the series finale.
