Itsuki Nakano

Itsuki Nakano, also known as May, is one of the main characters from The Quintessential Quintuplets series.
== Charactah Account ==
Itsuki Nakano is the fifth sister of the Nakano Quintuplets. She is attributed as the "first girl" of the series. Itsuki is serious and diligent, yet she's also a glutton and crybaby.
Itsuki is a serious girl, usually getting up early compared to her sisters. She also has good manners, to the point where she cares a lot about manners. She has never been late or skipped a class, and always speaks polite language.
Itsuki has been seen to be a girl who holds a grudge, this is shown when she rejects Fuutarou Uesugi's teaching, in part, due to their earlier dispute. She is also someone who cannot be honest with herself and has a hard time being more direct. Both of these qualities often make her fight alone. Itsuki is often too precise in the timing of food cooking.

== Trivia ==
* Itsuki is the only girl whose name is a portmanteau (a word blending the sounds and combining the meanings of two others, for example motel (from ‘motor’ and ‘hotel’) or brunch (from ‘breakfast’ and ‘lunch’)) as the name Itsuki means "five" (itsu) and "moon" (tsuki).
* Unlike her sisters, Itsuki was born on May 6 at 12:00 AM, this is confirmed by the manga in volume 14 since, according to the character file, the following is indicated: "She was born when the date changed, but she tries to prevent someone from investigating this fact too deeply "...
* Itsuki is seen wearing glasses when she's about to do a test (Chapter 2), suggesting she has hyperopia (far-sightedness). In Chapter 3 with Fuutarou Uesugi, he remarks that Itsuki can't see far away, suggesting she has myopia (near-sightedness). Despite sharing eye problems with Nino Nakano, only Itsuki wears glasses.
* She and Nino seem to be the most similar to each other among the quintuplets (both of them do sit-ups in the morning, have long hair, poor eyesight, a fear of needles, and a tsundere-like personality, being initially harsh to Fuutarou). Both of them are also close to each other and often seen hanging out, and Nino is very vocal and protective regarding Itsuki.
* Itsuki believes in fate and charms.
* Itsuki's notable accessories are two stars on the front of her hair, representing number 5, which is a part of her name and the order of her birth.
* Itsuki won 3rd place on the Japanese popularity poll with 1235 votes.
* Itsuki's food critic pseudonym, May (M·A·Y) literally means May in English, as in the fifth month of the year. The Kanji of Itsuki is also used for "May" in Japanese.
* Itsuki is the second Nakano Quintuplet to get her picture taken alongside Fuutarou. However, she is the first Nakano Quintuplet to have a picture with Fuutarou taken properly.
* Itsuki habitually speaks honourifically in Japanese. She uses a speech form, keigo, which is the polite form of speech. She addresses Fuutarou by his surname referring to him as "Uesugi-kun", and ends her sentences in "desu" and "masu", or variations of the phrases, which are speech particles added as a formality in sentences.
