Misaki Tokura possesses an eidetic memory granting perfect recall of all observed details, a power awakened after her parents died in a car accident when she was six. This trauma associates cardfighting with painful flashbacks, causing her to avoid playing Vanguard despite working as a clerk at her uncle Shin Nitta's shop, Card Capital, where she memorizes the game's rules and cards solely through observation. Initially reserved and emotionally withdrawn, she interacts little beyond Shin or the shop manager, maintaining a calm, serious demeanor reminiscent of Toshiki Kai. Her early reluctance stems from the trauma, though she gradually opens up through friends like Aichi Sendou and Kamui Katsuragi. A pivotal demonstration match with Emi Sendou triggers joyful memories of her parents, allowing her to rediscover the enjoyment of cardfighting and begin emotional healing. She has lilac hair and teal eyes, with hairstyles varying: waist-length in early seasons, shorter in later arcs, and long again in *Cardfight!! Vanguard G*. She typically wears her school uniform with an undone tie and ankle-length skirt, or casual outfits like a blue jacket over a midriff-baring pink shirt. In *G*, she adopts an orange dress with a white jacket and black boots, often wearing Kourin Tatsunagi's hairband on her arm as a memento after Kourin's disappearance. Her cardfighting leverages eidetic memory for strategic deck optimization and predicting opponents' moves. She initially uses an Oracle Think Tank deck centered on her parents' gift, *Goddess of the Full Moon, Tsukuyomi*. She adapts her deck to new mechanics: shifting to a soul-less Oracle Think Tank build featuring *Scarlet Witch, CoCo* during Asia Circuit to counter Limit Break skills, later incorporating *Goddess of the Sun, Amaterasu*. In later seasons, she switches to the Genesis clan, utilizing cards like *Battle Deity of the Night, Artemis* and *Regalia* series, reflecting her willingness to evolve beyond her father's original deck. Her development includes joining Team Q4 for national tournaments and Asia Circuit, overcoming initial struggles against new gameplay mechanics. She later enrolls at Miyaji Academy, joining Aichi's Cardfight Club and forming a close bond with Kourin. After memory-altering events, she temporarily forgets teammates but recovers through triggers like Kai's cardfight, showcasing resilience. By *G*, she becomes Card Capital's owner, mentoring new players while retaining her composure, though she smiles more frequently. Key relationships feature a protective, sisterly dynamic with Aichi and Emi; mentorship under Shin; and a deep friendship with Kourin, whom she vows to remember despite memory wipes. Her journey underscores coping with grief, transitioning from trauma-induced isolation to finding community and purpose through Vanguard and her connections at Card Capital.
