OVA
Description
Mihoshi Kuramitsui, also known as Mihoshi Kuramitsu, is a main character in the Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OVA series, including the 2020 fifth season. She is a member of the politically powerful Kuramitsu family from the Seniwa empire, a family second only to the Jurai royal family in influence. Mihoshi serves as a detective first class in the Galaxy Police. Her background reveals that she was once one of the force's finest officers, but her performance declined significantly after an unspecified incident, which has been hinted to involve a failed arranged marriage. This event left her with a combination of clumsiness, scatterbrained behavior, and a tendency toward laziness, though she retains a sharp intelligence beneath her ditzy exterior.
Personality-wise, Mihoshi is optimistic, enthusiastic, and always looks on the bright side of situations. She is well-meaning and genuinely devoted to her job as a Galaxy Police officer, despite often causing chaos due to her clumsiness. She has a strong sense of duty and does not hesitate to help with household chores, often performing better at them than some of her housemates. Mihoshi's motivations stem from her desire to do good and uphold the law, though her methods are frequently unorthodox. She also holds a mild romantic interest in Tenchi Masaki, though it is less intense than that of Ryoko or Ayeka.
In the story, Mihoshi's role is that of a comedic yet competent officer who accidentally crash-lands on Earth while pursuing the space pirate Kagato. She quickly integrates into the Masaki household, where she lives alongside Tenchi, Ryoko, Ayeka, Sasami, Washu, and Ryo-Ohki. Her presence adds lighthearted moments and often serves as a source of accidental problem-solving. Despite her apparent incompetence, Mihoshi possesses a remarkable ability to defy near-impossible odds, a trait attributed to her exceptionally good luck, which is inherited through her distant familial connection to Washu Hakubi. This luck, combined with her near-invulnerability following the earlier incident, makes her a surprisingly resilient character.
Key relationships include her partnership with fellow Galaxy Police officer Kiyone, who often acts as a straight-laced foil to Mihoshi's chaos. Mihoshi's grandfather is Minami Kuramitsu, the Grand Marshall of the Galaxy Police, and her mother Mitoto also works for the force as a cleaning lady. She has a younger brother named Misao. Her connection to Washu is as a great-great-granddaughter through Washu's son Mikumo, though this lineage is not always emphasized within the main series. Mihoshi's interactions with the other residents of the Masaki house are generally friendly, though she occasionally forgets that Ryoko is a wanted criminal.
Development across the OVA series shows Mihoshi slowly taking on more responsibilities and occasionally demonstrating hidden depths of competence, such as when she helps free Washu from a negative dimension. However, her core personality remains largely unchanged, with her clumsiness and good luck continuing to define her actions. Notable abilities include her proficiency with Galaxy Police equipment, including a battle suit and various investigative tools. She is also known for writing extremely lengthy and detailed reports that, while cluttered, contain valuable information; her report on the Kagato incident was so thorough that Jurai intelligence required days to summarize it. Her most defining ability is her probabilistic luck, which allows her to survive and succeed in situations where others would fail.
