OVA
Description
Misao Kusakabe appears across multiple franchise installments, including the OVA. She has been classmates with Kagami Hiiragi and Ayano Minegishi for five consecutive years since middle school and is Ayano's childhood friend since kindergarten.
She possesses short, uneven smoky brown hair with bangs, tanned skin, and gold or yellow eyes, featuring a distinctive sharp tooth. She stands slightly shorter than Minami Iwasaki, aligning with the series' general design traits of large eyes and slightly chubby cheeks.
Misao embodies an energetic, simple-minded tomboy personality. She enjoys outdoor activities as a track and field club member but shows laziness in academic studies, disliking math and world history while excelling in physical education. She loves video games despite lacking skill, prioritizing fun over winning, a trait that bewilders the competitive Kagami.
Her speech uses informal Japanese slang resembling a faux Kansai dialect, often shortening or combining words. She is a noisy and occasionally clumsy eater.
Her family includes grandparents, parents, and an older brother rarely mentioned. Manga volume 7 reveals this brother is romantically involved with Ayano. No family member names are revealed.
Misao initially resented Konata Izumi for "stealing" Kagami's friendship, calling Konata "Chibikko" (midget). Konata retaliated with the masculine-leaning nickname "Misakichi," referencing Misao's boyish demeanor. This dynamic softened in the OVA, where Misao shows only annoyance toward Konata, and they cooperate on a volleyball team. A recurring trait involves breaking the fourth wall to complain about her role as a side character.
She features in the spin-off light novel "Miyakawa-ke no Kūfuku" and the fan-created "All Worlds Alliance" universe. In the latter, she joins the Multiverse Rescuers, participating in missions like escaping an abandoned city and operating from a multiversal base. Her core traits remain consistent across these appearances.
Her birthday is listed as July 20 in some sources and October 7 in others. She resides in Saitama Prefecture, has blood type B, and lists meatballs among her favorite foods.
