Miho Nishizumi

Miho Nishizumi, also known as Miporin and Mihosha, is the main protagonist from the Girls & Panzer series.
== Charactah Account ==
Miho is a scion of a clan of famous tankers. She left the discipline after a certain incident and transferred from Kuromorimine into Ooarai, since its Sensha-do class was defunct for over two decades. She was promptly drafted into becoming the leader of its first class in twenty years (as a loader, then later commander of not just her team, but of the school's squadron) after the Student Council discovers her experience.
Miho is known for her cheerful and polite demeanor, occasional shyness, and as a highly talented Sensha-dou commander. During every Sensha-dou match, she becomes serious, calm and decisive. Her hobby is collecting bandaged teddy bears called Boko, of which she already has a lot in her apartment and her room back in the Nishizumi's house.
One of her most important traits is without doubt her loyalty to her friends, being ready to do everything for their sake (such as when she saved her teammate's life, or when she accepted to join Ooarai's Sensha-dou team when her friends were being threatened for supporting her). It can also be directed to her new school, as when she learned that defeat in the tournament means that Ooarai will close, she became determined in doing her best to achieve victory. Also, although she took a different path, she still loves her sister and holds her in high regard.

== Trivia ==
* Miho's favorite tank is the German Panzer II Ausf.E/F. However, the tank which she is most commonly seen using (both in the main series and in the Little Army prequel) is the German Panzer IV Ausf.D, later modified to an Ausf.F2, then to an Ausf.H.
* Miho's Tiger I in the flashback was numbered 217, the same number on the tank of the real-life tank commander Otto Carius. For unknown reasons, either Kuromorimine didn't field this Tiger after Miho left the team (in the anime or manga), or else changed the number to 212. This may mean that Kuromorimine had more than one Tiger I at its disposal.
* Miho was the first character to receive an official voice pack mod for the online tank battle game World of Tanks, as part of developer Wargaming.net's Japanese promotional collaboration with Girls und Panzer.
* Miho's birthday is October 23, the same date in 1942 as the start of Operation Lightfoot, better known as the Second Battle of El Alamein. Fittingly, Miho, the younger sister, represents the Second Battle of El-Alamein, while Maho, the elder sister, represents the First Battle.
* In Episode 11 of the anime, Miho apparently didn't know about the Maus that her former school fielded, despite being the former vice-commander, perhaps indicating that Kuromorimine obtained that tank after she left. However, it seems that Katyusha does know about the Maus. This might be a reference to the fact that the Allies didn't know about the Maus until the Soviet discovery of the original Maus hulls and turret on Kummersdorf Testing Facilities where the Maus underwent trials.
** Alternately, Miho may have known about the Maus during her time at Kuromorimine, but had never before needed to consider how to knock it out, thus she needed time to analyze the situation. Upon hearing Saori's comments, she was able to come up with a plan to knock it out.
* As one of Shiho Nishizumi's daughters, already skilled in the Nishizumi Style of Senshado, Miho directly became the vice commander of the Kuromorimine team on her first day of high school.
* Despite having extensive knowledge and know-how about tanks, Miho considers herself to be an unskilled tank driver, as she mentioned in Episode 3 and Little Army.
* According to Erika, Miho's favorite food is Macarons.
* There is a Panzerfaust in Miho's room at Kumamoto.
* Miho initially selected "Incense Ceremony" as her elective, which prompted the Student Council to force her into Senshado instead.
* Her size measurements are: B82 W56 H84, a near-perfect hourglass figure.
* Despite leading her team to victory both in the anime and film, and her ability to instruct and direct her team with incredible skill, Miho still can't overcome her anxiety when speaking in front of larger crowds.
* Katyusha calls her Mihosha and Piroshki.
* In Phase: Erika, due to the intense nature of Nishizumi Style training and lifestyle, Miho and Maho could sense the presence of any tank or incoming shells without needing to see them. This skill allowed them to dodge incoming shells easily (as demonstrated when Miho dodged Naomi's Firefly's shot without even looking) and sense enemies trying to sneak around their backs (as demonstrated when Maho senses Turtle Team's Hetzer lurking behind her). However, they still seem susceptible to ambush tactics (as when Kuromorimine caught Ooarai by surprise when waiting for them in the forest), perhaps because the tanks don't make any movement or noise until the very last second.
* Miho is more self-confident in the manga than in the anime.
* Miho's friendship with Alice Shimada shares some similarities with Edelgard and Lysithea from Fire Emblem: Three Houses' Crimson Flower route.
