**Misaki Nagatoro** (長瀞 岬, *Nagatoro Misaki*) is a minor character of the *Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro* manga series. She is a university student, Hayase and Taiga Nagatoro's older sister as well as her family's oldest child. She is a mature, playful and friendly young woman who likes to tease her little sister despite caring and loving her deeply as well as being a confidant and sort of role model for the protagonist. After realizing the true feelings between her younger sister and Senpai, she decided to help and fuel their budding relationship.

Senpai and Gamo-chan only refer to her as "**Big Sis-Toro**" (姉瀞, *Ane Toro*).

## Appearance

Misaki is a beautiful, shapely, and average-statured young woman with medium-length, straight black hair that falls on her forehead in a thick fringe (later briefly decolorized and shortened at the tips). She has relatively light skin, and large, expressive, yet somewhat tired-looking dark amber-maroon eyes, with an attractive mole under the left one, that act as a beauty mark as well as her signature feature. Her ears are not pierced and she does not seem to wear earrings or any kind of jewelry. Misaki is very similar to her younger sister in terms of physical shape, sharing her lean, athletic, slender, and flexible physique, albeit with a noticeably larger bust size and wider hips due to being a young adult rather than a teen. Misaki sports almost always a wide, kind, and sweet smile displaying incisors slightly more pronounced than average, as well as her family's signature prominent canines. She shares many facial expression with her little sister and, exactly like her, tends to widen the pupil of just an eye whenever she grins.

Albeit not as tomboyish as her little sister, Misaki is nor even a stylish woman, as she typically wears practical, sporty or simple-style clothes; loose-fitting t-shirts and sweatshirts, tights, jeans or short pants and sneakers; however she's perfectly capable to dressing-up if required for special occasions, sporting elegant dark suits. She is also often seen wearing a judogi.

## Personality

Misaki is a calm, cheerful, easy-going, and level-headed young woman with a bit of a liking for teasing, just like her little sister Hayase, although at a much lower level. She loves to joke and is very friendly. When first introducing herself to Senpai she makes him believe she would have called the police and have him arrested for trespassing into her home, only to reveal she was merely kidding and then inviting him inside. A very mature and responsible person, Misaki behaves like an excellent hostess to Senpai and takes good care of her sister, to whom she's very protective and caring.

     She's described as the type who enjoys spoiling her little sister. Yet she has also proved to know Hayase so well that she managed to easily "manipulate" her, making her "dance in the palm of her hands" - much to Senpai's astonishment - even to the point of talking her around when she acted stubbornly or scolding her about her manners when she didn't behave, showing to be very polite and well-mannered. Misaki is very excitable, inquisitive, and honest, despite this blunt attitude of hers sometimes creating awkward situations and being a source of embarrassment for Hayase, albeit mostly unintentional. According to her little sister, she tends to "run her mouth off". Also, it's insinuated that she may be quite vain and even a little bit megalomaniacal.

It's also shown that Misaki could emanate the same intimidating aura as her younger sister, and, whenever this happens, she is depicted with hellish shadows all over her face and disturbingly huge eyes pupils, making her look like a ghostly entity. As the "cool big sis" and model figure to Nagatoro, she's a sort of confidant to her; Nagatoro told her about Senpai more than once, indirectly making her aware of how she felt about him as well as their "erotic" interaction. Although she somewhat likes to tease her little sister and sometimes embarrass her, treating her as if she was still a little kid, or teasing her about romance, Misaki does love her deeply, is rather protective of her, and willing to help the relationship between her and Senpai, often offering to tell the latter more about Nagatoro if he wanted. It is also strongly implied that Hayase looks up to her greatly, trying to emulate her attitude and having learned how to "tease" boys from her, as well as often going to her for advice, looking at her skills in awe, listening to her lessons, and eventually doing what she suggested despite her stubbornness.

In stark contrast with the maturity she usually displays, Misaki seems to have a habit of eavesdropping and very little sense of personal space. She can also be quite careless since she forgot to close the house's front gate before going shopping.

She's extremely athletic and has an amazing combat prowess and Orihara herself described her as way stronger than her. She seemingly shares her sister's dislike for wearing shoes, but not socks, as she has always been seen wearing "invisible socks" rather than going barefoot.

## Biography

### Early life

Misaki was born in Hayama, Kanagawa, the eldest child and older daughter of the Nagatoro family. She has a close relationship with both her younger brother Taiga and - especially - her younger sister Hayase, while her parents are middle class that often work late. She grew up in a house in the suburbs right in front of a park, under a 7-Eleven; as a kid she went every year to the summer festival with her family, enjoying the fireworks contest at the beach. At some point in her life she started to attend GAMOU Fighting Gym, much like her siblings, becoming well-known for her prowess.

In her teen years, she attended Kazehaya High School and was a member of the judo club and used to "rule over it". After graduating from high school, Misaki enrolled at a university somewhere in the town or very close to it, continuing to live with her family, and proved to be a good and hard-working student, having a huge amount of free time between her classes.

When Hayase enrolled in her former high school, she accompanied her on the first day and pridefully took a picture. Afterward, her sister started to talk a lot to her about "her Senpai" and their interactions, leading Misaki to realize that she had a crush on him.

### Story arcs

#### First name arc

One day, after her little sister got the flu, Misaki stayed at home with her and took care of her. In the afternoon, she went to the kombini to grab a pudding for Hayase while she was taking a nap, accidentally leaving the front gate open, and when she came back home, Misaki noticed a boy in the front yard. Recognizing him as Senpai, she pulls a prank on him, pretending she mistook him for a thief, before introducing herself as Nagatoro's sister and inviting him inside. After checking on her sister and discovering she was still sleeping, Misaki offered Senpai some snacks and revealed to him that her little sister talked a lot about him. She also asked if there was anything he wanted to know about her, stating that she would reveal to him whatever he wanted regarding her sister. Before Senpai could make his question, Nagatoro entered the kitchen yawning, with messy hair and comfy pajamas, blushing in embarrassment after discovering that he was there.

Embarrassed, the girl immediately went to dress herself and do her hair, scolding Senpai for not having called nor warned her before coming to her house, to which he replied that he sent her a text, although she yelled back at him that she was sleeping. After telling her little sister not to be so angry, Misaki acted as a pacifier, preparing her little sister a special marlowe pudding with fruit and cream to calm her down, saying that they should all sit and chat a little. However, feeling ashamed, Nagatoro asked Senpai to come to her room and forbade her sister from entering. Regardless of this, Misaki later entered the room to bring them something to drink and caught her little sister feeding Senpai with a spoon, commenting that the boy does indeed seem interested in "every little detail" of her little sister. Blushing vividly, Nagatoro sent her sister out of her room, then she asked Senpai what she meant by her last sentence.

A few minutes later, having eavesdropped on her sister and Senpai's conversation regarding the boy wanting to know Nagatoro's first name but lacking the courage to ask it directly, Misaki stormed once again into the room calling her little sister "Hayase" and bringing the photo album of her primary school years to show it to Senpai. Regardless of Nagatoro yelling at her to get out of her room, Misaki continued to show an embarrassing picture of "little Hayase" - that she deemed "cute" - to Senpai.

A few days later, Senpai caught the flu and Hayase visited him at home, calling her sister to inform her that she would be home later than usual due to wanting to nurse him. It's implied that she teased her little sister about the romantic meaning of said gesture, since the girl blushed vividly, hushed her, and quickly hung up the phone.

#### Christmas

Right before Christmas Eve, during snack time, Hayase meekly asked her for advice regarding what to buy someone for Christmas. Delighted by the question, and guessing the reason, Misaki asked her younger sister if it was intended to be a present for "someone special", which Hayase denied embarrassed, causing Misaki to tease her that if it wasn't a special person then consumables like snacks or bath salts would have been fine since those things get used up and wouldn't get spoiled. Hearing that she should give something that would soon "be gone", Hayase got sad, but Misaki quickly cheered her up saying that she might give something that would last as a Christmas gift, suggesting she take something "he" would use every day. Overjoyed, her little sister thanked her and Misaki explained to her that she also would have liked to receive something that would last as a Christmas gift from Hayase, right before joking about planning to give her sister a life-size doll of herself for Christmas. Listening to her older sister's advice, eventually, Hayase got Senpai a scarf.

#### First date arc

When Senpai invited Nagatoro to have a date at the aquarium, Misaki was seen watching over her little sister as the latter decided what clothes to pick up.

A few days later, when her sister tried to make a bento for Senpai and planned to prepare a special tonkatsu with spicy curry to surprise him, but accidentally burned it. Thus getting upset, Misaki entered the kitchen and - despite a little embarrassment from the latter - was happily greeted by Gamo-chan, Yoshi, and Sakura, who were all on a video call; Misaki suggested her little sister make salmon-filled onigiri instead, stating they're the base of every bento. Saddened by said suggestion, Hayase protested that it will have been too banal and wouldn't have surprised him, yet she was convinced when her sister told her it will make her feel better to see him happy rather than surprised.

     Then, not wanting to waste the tonkatsu that Nagatoro has accidentally burned, Misaki decided to have it for breakfast, showing Hayase how to scrape off the burnt bits, smother it in melty cheese, and then grill it in the oven to make a "cheesy pork steak". Amazed, her little sister complimented her due to not being able to smell burnt anymore, and she explained that that's the meaning of using some cheese. Only after she has given a bite to the meal, the younger Nagatoro remembers that she had placed spicy curry in it, however, Misaki has a "foodgasm" due to her love for spicy food.

Later that day, Hayase gave the salmon-filled onigiri to Senpai and he happily complimented it, making the girl feel exactly like her sister had said.

#### Training camp arc

Sometime later, Misaki and her brother had a training session at GAMOU Fighting Gym, and Hayase - alongside Gamo-chan - come to them asking both her siblings to be the coach of her judo club's training camp. After accepting the offer, both Misaki and Taiga were introduced to the girls during the first day of the training camp and started to scare them off only to later admit they were just kidding and would have to teach all of them at their own pace. Then, as Senpai and the art club came in as well, the two greet him happily despite the latter still being a little scared of them; due to realizing it, she and Taiga teased the boy during the whole trip to the city of Nagatoro, where they began the training camp with Taiga making them all run for 10km as a warm up. Later that evening, after a sparring session, Misaki suggested Hayase to add more "bloodlust" to her technique and had several sparring matches with her. After the first day of training camp, she go returning the gym's key and told the girl to go taking a bath.

Later on, she and her brother met Senpai as he was exiting the building where both clubs have rented rooms, and asked him to join them in playing Uno and have a little chat. At first the boy accepted their offer due to wanting to overcame his fears, however after sensing Nagatoro passing outside, he asked her siblings to speak another time and reached for her. Few minutes later, while passing close to the bedrooms, she and Taiga overheard Gamo-chan, Yoshi, Sakura and Sunomiya speaking about their little sister "going wild in a mixed bath" and thus minaciously asked them what they were meaning. The girs quickly explained it to them, leading both Nagatoro siblings to said they would have go check on the couple and punish them if they find them engaging in a "shameful conduct". In order to stop them, Gamo-chan step in and asked Taiga to sparring with her; despite being clear to everyone she was merely trying to buy time and not being at the boy's level, her determination to protect Senpai's and Nagatoro's privacy eventually led them to score a point, touching Taiga and Misaki who, in the end, decided to refrain from their plans.

The following day, Misaki was glad to see her litte sister having regained her fighting spirit and thus decide to have a sparring match with her, during which the latter performed greatly despite ultimately being unable to defeat her. After the training, Misaki noticed how mutch better Nagatoro's movement were getting, but when the latter pointed out that despite this she still lack the special technique she was looking for, Misaki suggested her to try ask "someone who really know her". That afternoon, after lunch break, the Nagatoro sisters had a rematch and, this time, Hayase shifted between multiple styles, eventually managing to defeat Misaki, who realised her sister's entire moveset were her secret technique, thus asking her if it was Senpai's advice, to which the latter smile, claiming that more than an advice it's that "he know her really well".

On the last day of the judo training camp, Misaki watch while her little sister is selected as a member of the team for the tournament's team battle, and later as the club head announced the camp's end giving the members free time to spend in the city, after which she go sailing with the rest of the group.

## Trivia

* Her given name is revealed in Chapter 118 to be Misaki (岬, *Misaki*) a popular feminine Japanese name meaning "cape/promontory".
* Her little sister Hayase always refers to her as "Onee-chan" (お姉ちゃん, *Onē-chan*) a Japanese term that means "big sister" in a cutesy and affectionate way and could also be used to address slightly older women, regardless of blood relations.
* She is the eldest child in her family, as she and Nagatoro's brother were referred to as "*ane*" (姉) and "*otōto*" (弟), meaning older sister and younger brother. Despite this, Nagatoro's brother was mentioned before their sister appeared, and for a time it was unclear which of them was the eldest child. On the Official Fanbook, in Nagatoro's character profile, under the "family members" paragraph, they are listed as "older brother" and "older sister" in that order.
* Since she is a university student, and is older than Taiga, who's also most likely a university student, Misaki is at least 19 in her first appearance and at least 20 in her appearances after the new academic year starts in Chapter 82.

* Misaki shares the "Noodletoro" pose with her sister as, just like Nagatoro, she's sometimes drawn with noodly arms when she gets playful with the latter or Senpai.
	+ In addition to this, the Nagatoro sisters also shares several others similarities in body language, such as: the same expression when laughing heartly, the same way of steeple their hands while talking, the same cat-like gaze, the same grin as well as the tendency to widen the pupil of just an eye when doing it, the same devilish smirk, the same expression when getting "bloodlustful" and they also tend to unconsciously mirror each other's movements while talking face to face.
* Misaki has a very sweet tooth and a fondness for puddings also, she has impressive cooking skills and a deep love for spicy food.
* Due to Chapter 59 and 119 being named after lines spoken by her, Misaki is the third character after Nagatoro and Gamo-chan to ever name a chapter; the fourth being Sunomiya, the fifth Senpai himself, the sixth Shikki, the seventh Sakura, the eighth the President and the ninth Yoshi.
* She is the first character to have ever called the protagonist by her first name, thus revealing it to the readers and Senpai himself.
* Aesthetically, Misaki bears a strong resemblance to *Bakemonogatari*'s character Ougi Oshino.
* Her smartphone has a plain transparent case.
* When Misaki reappeared on Chapter 87's cover after having been featured in her debut arc and a bonus chapter, her appearance is altered a bit as her hair is colored lighter and covers her ears completely; moreover her mole appears to be missing.
	+ As later shown in Chapter 92, only her hairstyle was changed, implying she could have decolorized her hair and shortened its tips.
	+ As of Chapter 117, Misaki reverted to her original appearance.
* Misaki is the oldest character to have been shown naked (Bonus 20), due to being at least 20 when it occurs, and the only other characters to have been shown in the nude are the high schoolers-aged Nagatoro, Gamo-chan, Yoshi, the former President and Shikki.
* The color with whom she’s associated on her profile page on the anime official website is light pink.
* Her character song is "*SISTER'S BATTLE*".
