Misuzu Gundou

Description \ Bio

Misuzu Gundou is a supporting character in Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko!. She is the childhood friend of Tomo Aizawa and the former girlfriend of Junichirou Kubota. Misuzu is a petite girl with chest-length black hair, which was chin-length during her childhood and middle school years. Her hair is now tied into a low ponytail with a light blue scrunchie, typically resting on her left shoulder. She has square bangs that hang over her eyebrows and a shoulder-length strand of hair that usually drapes on her right side. Misuzu's black eyes often display a neutral or stoic expression. Her male classmates find her very pretty, and she leverages this attractiveness. It is clear that she inherited her beauty from her mother, Misaki Gundou, who is also known for her beauty. In Episode 12 and Episode 13, Misuzu’s appearance changes: she no longer wears the blue hair tie and lets her hair down completely, with two shoulder-length strands hanging on either side. Misuzu’s school uniform is distinctive compared to her peers. She wears a long navy-blue sweater with a white collar instead of the standard blazer. Her skirt is knee-length and black, differing from the typical style worn by most female students. She pairs this with below-the-knee black socks and brown dress shoes. Misuzu is known for her cold, territorial, and standoffish demeanor, often appearing distant and unfriendly. Beneath this exterior, however, she is emotionally intelligent and highly adept at manipulation, a skill she employs both for her own benefit and to support others. Her closest friend, Tomo Aizawa, contrasts sharply with Misuzu’s reserved nature through her boisterous and energetic personality. Misuzu, who has little interest in outdoor activities, often provides Tomo with advice on how to appear more feminine. However, she harbors a quiet fear that Tomo might grow distant if she starts a relationship with Junichirou Kubota. This insecurity has led Misuzu to act selfishly at times, even attempting to create a rift between Tomo and Jun. Over time, though, she has come to regret these actions, ultimately using her cunning to support their relationship instead. While typically quiet and introverted, Misuzu also has a mischievous side. She delights in teasing her friends, especially Tomo and Jun, often targeting their unspoken feelings for each other. Her sharp tongue and wit extend to others as well, such as Tatsumi Tanabe, whose constant flirting irritates her, and Carol Olston, whose frequent hugs and teasing push her patience. Despite her apparent annoyance, Misuzu does care for Carol to some extent. Misuzu’s fondness for Tomo and Jun runs deep, and she genuinely wants to see them become a couple. To this end, she has been known to use devious tactics, such as lying and relentless teasing, to nudge them closer together. Although she can be smug about her successes or frustrated by setbacks, there are moments when she feels remorseful for her lack of honesty. Her willingness to manipulate is not always self-serving—she has, for example, encouraged Kousuke Misaki to confess his feelings to Carol, even at the cost of her own reputation. Though often shrouded in aloofness, Misuzu’s actions reveal a thoughtful and good-hearted individual who values her friends’ happiness, even if her methods are unconventional.
