== Charactah Account ==
Tsubasa is a genius student and class representative, and becomes Koyomi's first friend over the events of Spring Break. She always does her best to help and support people who are in need, and ever since she reaches out to Koyomi during his vampire days, he sees her as his savior and treats her like some sort of saint or holy mother. But Tsubasa's "goodness" comes from a lifetime of striving not to burden her legal guardians, and both her way of life and the way that the people around her put her on a pedestal causes her a great deal of stress. The characters who don't look up to her tend to remark on being unnerved by her perfection, finding it to be "unnatural".
To most people she interacts with, Tsubasa is a soft-spoken girl with a kind heart and a positive personality. Her top grades make her a favorite of the teachers, while her approachable character makes admirers out of her classmates. Tsubasa is also a wealth of information due to her study habits, but keeps humble about it, always stating that "I don’t know everything, I just know what I know" to those who commend her knowledge. She is never seen angry, but even when she does get mad, she retains her positive appearance, and often resorts to scolding the offender like a teacher, only to show a smile afterwards. The only instance where she is seen with a genuiely angry expression is during Sodachi Lost, when she confronts the trickster Ougi Oshino.
However, those who are familiar with Tsubasa's true identity know that all of those are a facade that she shows to the public. The truth is that she often does things without the sentiment that comes along with it, and moves only through common sense. She also possesses a strong sense of righteousness that becomes a double-edged sword, to the point of interacting with her may cause oneself to notice one's imperfections.

== Trivia ==
* Tsubasa's first name means "wing" while her surname has the characters for "feather" and "river".
* Tsubasa is to some degree knowledgeable about foreign languages. In Koyomi Vamp, she mentions knowing enough Spanish to speak basic conversation and corrects Koyomi when he uses a Russian word incorrectly. In Tsubasa Sleeping, she speaks broken German while in Germany.
* In the Kizumonogatari film adaptation, Tsubasa's email address when put into Koyomi's phone is shown as being "2ba3-nyannyan@XXXX.ne.jp" which to a Japanese speaker could be interpreted as "Tsubasan", a cutesy, informal modification of her first name. The "nyannyan" being a Japanese equivalent to "meow" is likely a direct reference to her relation to cats later in the series. She also notably makes a lot of cutesy cat-like faces in the adaptation.
* Tsubasa Tiger was written in Tsubasa's perspective instead of Koyomi's, and was the first arc to do so.
