Chiyo Mihama

Chiyo Mihama, also known as Chiyo-chan and Chiyo-suke, is the main protagonist from the Azumanga Daioh series.
== Charactah Account ==
Chiyo Mihama is a child prodigy, having skipped five grades to 10th grade at the start of the series yet is still top of the class. Such grade-skipping would be unthinkable in Japan, and the series humorously explores its potential consequences. The other characters find Chiyo amazingly cute, but sometimes take advantage of both her youthfulness and her scholastic abilities.
Chiyo's diminutive stature leads to her having a lack of confidence, particularly in sports where she fears she is a burden to others. She is frequently viewed with jealousy by fellow students, initially because of her intelligence, but later also because of the discovery that her family is exceedingly wealthy. The stylistic rendering of Chiyo's pigtails allow for several visual gags in both the manga and anime: Osaka often imagines them to be flapping wings, or as entities independent of Chiyo herself.
At home, Chiyo can almost always be found in the company of her enormous dog, Tadakichi-san. Of all of the girls, she is the only one who does not sit through college "entrance exams" as she intends to study overseas, possibly in America.

== Trivia ==
* Chiyo is 133 cm (about 4’4") tall in the beginning, but she grows by the time the series ends. There was one scene where Osaka led Chiyo to think Sakaki, who is exceptionally tall, had stolen Chiyo's height. Chiyo begins leaping at Sakaki, most likely just for the fun of it, asking for her to return her height.
* In both the manga and anime, Chiyo has the last line spoken by a character in the series, when Osaka encourages her to come along to Magical Land. In the manga Chiyo's response is "Coming!" while it is translated to "Okay!" in the anime.
* Chiyo was born in March 1989.
* Chiyo claims her greatest weakness, aside from having poor athletic abilities, is that she is bad at tongue-twisters.
* Chiyo is said to have an overactive imagination. Because of this, she hates stories about painful accidents, something Tomo doesn't hesitate to take advantage of.
* Chiyo is sometimes called "Chiyo-suke" by Yukari and Tomo, usually as a way of teasing her.
