OVA
Description
Misa Kakizaki attends Mahora Academy as student number 7 in Class 3-A. She leads the cheerleading squad alongside members Madoka Kugimiya and Sakurako Shiina and participates in the chorus club. Standing 165 cm tall with measurements of 82-58-84, she possesses light purple-to-pink hair (corrected from early depictions as brown per creator confirmation) and reddish-brown or dark yellow eyes. Her birthday is May 15, making her a Taurus with blood type O.
Personality-wise, Misa exhibits greater maturity than her classmates, particularly concerning romance. Noting Negi Springfield's resemblance to his father, she devises a "reverse Hikaru Genji" plan inspired by *The Tale of Genji*, aiming to mentor him as a future romantic partner. This leads her to refer to herself as "onee-san" around Negi. She is the sole girl in her class confirmed to have a steady boyfriend, fitting her "modern-day junior high school girl" concept. Her likes encompass weekly shopping trips to the city and karaoke, while she dislikes carbonated drinks.
In the main storyline, Misa remains unaware of magic until the sports festival months after the Magic World arc. She competes in the "Mars vs. Mages" game, where beam weapons reduce her to her underwear. Later, during the final conflict, she aids Negi against the Mage of the Beginning. The epilogue reveals her working as a concierge at Mahora's Station Hotel; increased development escalates her workload. She adapts to serving diverse, including non-human, clientele and finds enjoyment in her role.
Her portrayal varies across adaptations. In *Negima!*, her pactio artifact enables a team cheer attack with Madoka and Sakurako. In *Negima!?*, the cheerleaders frequently speak in unison or finish each other's sentences. During the "Suka incident," she transforms into a goat. Her pactio artifacts in this version include a cabaret dancer cosplay and armor based on Yuma Kazama from *Sukeban Deka*, wielded with knitting needles.
Trivia notes include fluctuating popularity rankings in character polls (13th to 31st) and creator Ken Akamatsu's stated preference for forming a pactio with her. Speculation exists that her unseen boyfriend represents a self-insert of Akamatsu. Her hair color discrepancy originated from early media depicting it as brown, later corrected to purple based on the manga's initial color spread.
