小清水亜美
or Himari for short, is a fictional character in the manga series "Omamori Himari", created by Milan Matra. She also appears in the anime adaptation where she is voiced by Ami Koshimizu. Himari's character design was created simply, but Matra became bogged down on other things such as naming of the main heroine. In the story, Himari is shown to be a "bakeneko" or demon cat, a type of Japanese spirit known as a "yōkai". Reception of her character by English-language media has been mostly positive with writers often calling her a good lead character based on her traits.
