Misao Kusakabe

Misao Kusakabe, also known as Misa-chan, is a character from the Lucky☆Star series.
== Charactah Account ==
Kagami and Ayano's classmate for five consecutive years, Misao is the latter's childhood friend and, as defined by the former, an unorganized "lazy ass". A recurring theme in post-anime strips is her rivalry with Konata — for Kagami, even Misao considered Kagami as being cold-hearted.
Misao tends to be quite lazy, simple-minded and an outdoor loving tomboy. She is in the track and field club, hates studying, and harbors a love for video games, despite not being particularly talented at them. She is also noisy and a rather clumsy eater.

== Trivia ==
* Misao is only a centimeter shorter than Minami, yet Yutaka doesn't prattle on about her size, which may be because Minami is two years younger than Misao.
* There are several times in the anime in which Misao breaks the fourth wall by complaining about her role as a side character.
* Konata's nickname for Misao (Misakichi) arises from the fact that most Japanese names are made up of two kanji, and often the second can determine the gender of the name. Kanji that form kichi, hiko, rou, and taka are generally considered masculine. So Konata is basically making Misao's name sound more masculine (something that itself relates to Konata's impression of Misao being rather "boyish.")
* It may be more or less divulged from the manga that Misao may have occasional problems with cold sores.
* She also appears as a Figma exchangeable head included in Kagami's Summer Uniform figure.
* Much like Nanako Kuroi, she has a sharp tooth protruding from one corner of her mouth.
* Misao doesn't show much hate towards Konata in the OVA, only annoyance. They were even on the same volleyball team.
* She is similar to Tsuruya from the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, both in personality and the fact both have a visible sharp tooth protruding from one corner of their mouths; they are also both nicknamed "Fang-tan" by the fandom.
