Misako, like many characters in the series, appears differently depending on the game. Most art, as well as her sprite appearance in Kunio no Oden and model in River City Soccer Hooligans, depict her as having medium-length blue hair, worn naturally and with a bow, but the 8-Bit sprites depict her as having black hair worn in a ponytail, with no noticeable bow. In Shin Nekketsu Kouha: Kunio-tachi no Banka, she has blue hair but cut shorter and without a bow, and in River City Girls, she has short black hair with a red hair clip.

=Trivia=
* Misako's combat-style is largely based around kicking, perhaps in relation to her interest in soccer. Three of her four special moves in Shin Nekketsu Kouha: Kunio-tachi no Banka utilize her lower-body; a flying knee, spin-kick, and mule kick; the remaining special is an aerial somersault. In one memorable scene, Kunio and Riki delegate to Misako the responsibility of torturing a boss to confession by kicking him in the groin.
** Her launcher move in RCG called "Nutcracker" even refers to it as an interrogation technique.
* The Student ID Card showcased in a limited physical release for River City Girls reveals that she is in her Senior year (18 years old).
