Aoba Tsukishima

Aoba Tsukishima is the main female protagonist from the Cross Game series.
== Charactah Account ==
Aoba Tsukishima is the third daughter of the Tsukishima family. She is one year younger than Kou and Wakaba. Aoba is jealous of how much time Wakaba spends with Kou and frequently tells Kou how much she hates him. She is an excellent pitcher, and Kou models his pitching after hers.
Aoba has a poster of Ryota Igarashi, a famous fastball pitcher, hanging on her bedroom wall. She says she is only interested in a guy who can pitch a fastball at 160 km/h (about 100 mph). She loves to pitch in practice games, even though as a girl, she cannot play in official baseball. However, she rarely shows her real speed as most catchers can't handle it. Her name means "blue leaf".
Upon entering high school, Aoba joins the baseball team despite saying previously she would not. She is asked out repeatedly and is constantly refusing boys. Yuhei then expresses feelings for her, and while she admits to Junpei that she likes Yuhei a bit, she only thinks about it when asked. There is an indication that she likes Kou as well.

== Trivia ==
* Wakaba and Kou are the only two people in the world who could make Aoba cry.
* As a younger child, Aoba had a habit of crawling into Wakaba's bed in the middle of the night.
* Aoba's blood type is B.
* Aoba likes guys who pitch a 160kmph (99.4mph) fastball.
* Aoba, like Kou is a power pitcher, unfortunately though, due to being the only girl on a team full of boys, her full powered pitches are rarely seen since she's just a practice member of the team and if she pitched at her full speed, it would no longer be practice.
* Aoba is 1 of 7 characters in the series to have her name in a chapter. In this case it's chapter 16, chapter 21 and chapter 104.
** Aoba is also the only character in the series to have multiple chapters with her name (first or last) in it as chapter 104's title is referring to her.
