Introduction
Misaki Kamiigusa is a character full of contradictory charm in "The Pet Girl of Sakurasou." She is a genius beautiful girl living in Room 201 of "Sakura Hall," but because of her bizarre behavior, the protagonist Sorata Kanda calls her an "alien." Voice actor:Natsumi Takamori.
Background
A third-year student in the art department of Suimei University of the Arts' affiliated high school. The department educates a select few elites, with an extremely absurd acceptance rate. She is the first student in ten years to receive the art department's scholarship, a genius student. However, because she is too focused on creating anime and manga, the school considers her to be "wasting her talent," so she is forced to live in Sakura Hall. She is a resident of Room 201 in Sakura Hall and the first resident of Sakura Hall; when she first moved in, only the dorm mother Chihiro Sengoku was there.
In the author Kamoshida Hajime's next series, "Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai," she makes a cameo appearance with Jin Mitaka in a small corner of a news article.
Appearance
Misaki Kamiigusa is a beautiful girl with "a mouth like a cat plotting something." She looks like a "healthy, orthodox, and charming American Shorthair cat," with soft, plump thighs, a waistline that makes you want to rush over and hug her, a faintly visible cute belly button, and full breasts. Even her bed-head hair strands miraculously highlight Misaki's cuteness. If Misaki passed by 10 people, all 10 would surely turn back for another look. Her attire in Sakura Hall is always very casual.
On her birthday in her third year of high school, Misaki received a cute silver accessory shaped like a bear mascot from Jin and has worn it on her chest ever since. After Jin confessed his feelings to Misaki, she wore on her left ring finger a silver ring he gave her, designed to match her favorite character "Biting Bear."

Character Reviews
"A thorough genius, and at the same time a character full of passion and vitality."
— Overall AssessmentMisaki is regarded as a complete genius, yet also a character full of passion and vitality. Her "twisted" love story with Hino Mitaka adds many highlights to the work. Her drive, her persistence in love, and her eternally energetic personality are all reasons why this character is so beloved.
