She is also willing to pass on opportunities that would benefit her if she feels other people deserve it better. This is shown when she let Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu and Ibara Shiozaki participate in the tournament event of the U.A. Sports Festival in place of her team.Tetsutetsu has stated that because of Itsuka's cheerful personality, she can bring all of Class 1-B together, thus making her the "big sister" of Class 1-B.

== Trivia ==
* In the First Popularity Poll, Itsuka ranked 13th, which currently makes her the most popular character in Class 1-B.
* Itsuka's Quirk is similar to the abilities possessed by Marvel Comics hero Kamala Khan. Though instead of full malleable control of her body, Itsuka is limited to increasing the size of her fists, albeit that is Kamala's preferred form of combat.
** However, since Kamala's first appearance in Marvel Comics (mid-2014) is close to Itsuka's first appearance in the manga (January 2015), her powers could have also been adapted from Mr. Fantastic, a founding member of the Fantastic Four with the same powers as Kamala Khan.
* Itsuka's surname contains the kanji for "fist" (ken) and "wisteria" (dou), while her given contains the kanji for "one, best" (itsu) and "excellent, beautiful" (ka).
** Her surname is a possible reference to her Quirk and the martial art of the same name.
* Itsuka likes black coffee and motorcycles. She's also referred to as "masculine".
* According to Horikoshi, Itsuka is very popular among his staff.
* Itsuka came in 5th place for the U.A. Entrance Exam with a score of 25 Villain Points and 40 Rescue Points.
