Mitsuha Miyamizu

Mitsuha Miyamizu is the main female protagonist from the Your Name series.
== Charactah Account ==
A 17-year old girl living in the rural town of Itomori who also serves as a priestess in her family shrine.
Mitsuha is a kind, caring, organized and supportive girl who is also determined and sometimes persistent, frank, as well as adventurous. She is tired of her close-knit lifestyle in the small and rural town of Itomori, and as so she is also flaky and uninterested in her family's traditions and wishes to explore outside of her hometown. This is why when she starts switching bodies with Taki Tachibana, she appreciates every small thing in his life and makes the best out of it. She also becomes enamored with Tokyo city.
When she is in Taki's body, Mitsuha is constantly happy and extremely appreciative, because Taki's life is exactly what Mitsuha has dreamt of. She treasures every moment, and when going out to cafes with Taki's friends, she spends a great amount of money and takes pictures of everything, including "normal" desserts and Tokyo's sceneries. But since she lived her whole life in the calm Itomori, Mitsuha thinks that Taki's part-time jobs are tiring and stressful. She is dignified and proper, being strict with Taki when they switch bodies and demands him to be careful with skirts, not to look, and not to take any showers. When Mitsuha inhabits Taki's body, he is considered "girlish", feminine and speaks in an "odd" dialect, though she still manages to maintain her composure.

== Trivia ==
* Her name, Mitsuha means "three leaves".
** This also applies with her grandmother, her name meaning "one leaf"; her mother, "two leaves"; and her younger sister, "four leaves".
** Mitsuha was named by her father, Toshiki, who thought it was fitting in regards to her grandmother and mother.
** Her family name, Miyamizu means "shrine water", reflecting the family's role as priestesses.
* When Mitsuha and Taki met each other at Twilight (Kataware-doki), it was the only time both of them were the same age, as one can experience inhuman things at Kataware-doki.
* The beginning of the movie obfuscates the fact that it's already the next day when Mitsuha's shown going to school after she's shown waking up, by having Yotsuha wear very similar clothes (she's a grade schooler and doesn't have a uniform like Mitsuha; at first she seems to be wearing some denim shorts, but later a different kind of bluish shorts). This explains why "Mitsuha" (who's in fact Taki), at fist, rubs her own boobs, is shocked to see her own naked body, doesn't do her hair properly, simply puts on her uniform and comes down for breakfast, but later strangely goes back to her room, ties her hair up properly (which Taki can't do) and proceeds to go to school. The manga adaptation makes it clearer that it's 2 separate days by having Mitsuha wake up one more time.
* According to Makoto Shinkai, the colors of the braided ribbon that Mitsuha wears symbolizes different things. The center of the ribbon represents the comet; the blue color represents the lake of her town; and the red and orange represent "Kataware-doki".
** When Mitsuha gave Taki her braided cord, it may have made them connected in a reference to the Japanese myth, "The red string of Fate". The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of time, place or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break.
** This is also associated with the concept of the movie: "Musubi"; time, which has a similar description. Mitsuha and Taki were separated by time, circumstances and memory, but when they found each other at the end after so long, their feelings were still connected.
* Mitsuha speaks in a dialect like most Itomori residents, having the verb ya (instead of the standard da) in her sentences.
* When Taki inhabits her body, he wears Mitsuha's hair in a ponytail since he doesn't know how she did her hairstyle.
* It was mentioned by Sayaka that on the first day of switching bodies, Mitsuha went to school with bed hair.
* In Taki's body, Mitsuha is frequently shown eating large sugary and creamy desserts, suggesting she has a sweet tooth.
* According to Yotsuha, when Mitsuha sleeps, it's very hard to rouse her. She also has frequent bouts of sleeplessness. 
* From the official MV Sparkle from limited DVD of RADWIMP's album Ningen Kaika, there is an image that could be from three years later after the Itomori incident and features Mitsuha's new appearance at around 20 years old.
** Apparently, this scene is not in the Youtube version.
* According to Makoto Shinkai, the director of the film, Mitsuha not only moved to Tokyo to take shelter, but she also to search for a job in the fashion industry, probably due to her childhood traditions.
