Kousuke Misaki

* Manga
* Anime

**Kousuke Misaki**  (御崎 光助, *Misaki Kōsuke*?) is an upperclassman at Tomo Aizawa's school where he is also her friend, the captain of the karate club who is regarded as the school prince and and fiancee of Carol Olston.

## Appearance

Kousuke has blond hair, blue eyes and he has a girly face, so much so that when Junichirou Kubota saw a picture of him, he thought he was a girl until he met him.

His androgynous and feminine looks make him one of the more attractive boys in school.

## Personality

Kousuke is a very timid but strong-willed guy who also got embarrassed when he accidentally saw Tomo Aizawa's cleavage proving that he thinks of her as a girl and also that he is respectful of that fact.

During his youth, he was described as a gloomy child.

## Background

During Kousuke's third grade, he was a gloomy child due to constant bullying about his foreign-looking appearance (blond hair and blue eyes). He was found by Carol Olston, his distant relative, and unnaturally cheerful girl. She had also been bullied for the same reasons but seemed completely unaffected by it. Before Kousuke could get away, Kuniki, his classmate and bully, approached him with her two lackeys. After insulting Kousuke, Carol smacked her in the face (clearly not thinking of the repercussions). When Kuniki targeted Carol, Kousuke stepped in front of her to protect her. When Carol encouraged him to fight them, the bullies beat him up. After they had walked away, Carol went to Kousuke's side to tend to him. Having not been in a fight before Kousuke was injured, Carol explained that she always got into fights but always lost. Later at a road crossing, Carol got distracted by a butterfly and almost went onto the road before being saved by Kousuke. Carol's aloofness about almost dying instilled in Kousuke his desire to protect her.

## Relationships

### Carol Olston

Kousuke treats Carol like a beloved younger sister, something that irked Carol. Carol still has feelings for him from when they were kids. Kousuke comes to Carol's rescue when he thinks she's in trouble. When Kousuke fails to notice Carol's feelings, she gets upset; Kousuke goes to her house to see if she is alright. They then kiss and later start going out.

### Tomo Aizawa

Tomo is Kousuke's kouhai who are in the same karate club at school and Kousuke greatly admires his kouhai that he wishes to be as strong as she is one day.

They are both good friends and Tomo is also in the boy's karate club because none of the girls want to train with her.

### Junichirou Kubota

Kousuke is extremely intimidated by Jun as the first thing he does when meeting Kousuke is to hit him.

Kousuke admires Jun's strength and his will to protect Tomo Aizawa.

## Etymology

* The name **Kousuke** means "light" (光) (**kou**) and "help, rescue, assist/assistant/assistance" (助) (**suke**).
* Kousuke's surname **Misaki** means "control, honorable" (御) (**mi**) and "cape, peninsula" (崎) (**saki**).

## Trivia

* Tomo Aizawa and everyone else in her grade and presumably below call Kousuke "Misaki-senpai".
* Like Carol Olston, Kousuke has some British heritage, but he's still Japanese. His hair and eyes being different from most Japanese still led to bullying when he was a child though.
* Aside from Kousuke's appearance, another reason he is often confused for a girl is that **Misaki** is traditionally a girl's name.
	+ This is further emphasized by the fact that Misuzu Gundou's mother is also named Misaki. That said, **Misaki** is his surname; his first name, **Kousuke**, subverts this since it's typically used for boys.
* Una de las razones por la cual misaki quiere ser fuerte es para proteger a Carol.
* misaki es considerado el chico más apuesto de la historia escuela
* se podría considerar a Misaki el segundo amigo ( hombre) de tomo el primero es jun.
* misaki entrena en 2 lugares diferentes en el taller de karate de la escuela y en el dojo aizawa.
