Yurika Misumaru

Yurika Misumaru is the deuteragonist of Martian Successor Nadesico. The daughter of UEAF admiral Kouichiro Misumaru, she captained Nergal Heavy Industries' Nadesico during the Jovian War. Despite Yurika's awkwardness, she's actually qualified for her position (having scoring optimally on the simulators), unlike most of her contemporary figurehead captains.
