Misao Kuramitsu

Misao Kuramitsu Misao Kuramitsu (九羅密 美咲生, Kuramitsu Misao) is a fictional character appearing from the anime Tenchi Muyo! series appearing in the third OVA of the Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki and the Tenchi Muyo! GXP series.

Misao is the younger brother of Mihoshi Kuramitsu, he was sent to Earth to rescue his sister by his grandfather, G.P. Marshall Minami Kuramitsu, after Miso had received a letter from Mihoshi, which Misao had interpreted that she was being abused by Tenchi (the letter was altered by Z) and Misao decided he had to kill Tenchi to save his sister.

In order to accomplish this, Minami had given Misao command of the Kuramitsu's family's newest ship, the Choubimaru, which had the capability to destroy an entire planet. The plan was lure to Mihoshi and Tenchi to the Choubimaru for a banquet, and to avoid having Mihoshi hate him Misao would make Tenchi's death look like an accident. Misao would then accidently destroy the Earth during their fight with Ryoko to help avoid the general panic that the Choubimaru would cause.

Although Misao was a competent officer, he's insecure and unsure of himself. His is also easily intimidated, as evident when Mashisu Makibi spanked him for talking back to her. Until near the end of episode 5 of OVA 3, he was unaware that Mashisu was in love with him. But Misao became aware of this when Mashisu helped snap him back to his senses when he was prepared to go down with the Choubimaru during Ryoko's attack and admitted her true feelings.

After the Choubimaru incident, Misao, along with grandfather Minami and Mashisu, were brought before his great aunt Mikami, and got a punishment of ten years service in one of the family's ventures. Misao accepted his punishment gracefully, but not wanting to be separated from his beloved Mashisu had asked her to marry him. Minami objected to this, saying that Mashisu was unworthy. But after Seto made an offer to adopt Mashisu (and after Misao's mother Mitoto came forward and told everyone that the Kuramitsu family council approved the wedding), Misao married her.

Misao also made an appearance in GXP episodes 23 and 24. By then Misao's punishment was modified and he became an officer in the Galaxy Army. Misao had also had gained confidence in his abilities. After Seina Yamada was accused of stealing the Kamidake II, when he was ordered to turn it over to the Galaxy Army, Misao with his unit had detained his former teacher Amane Kaunaq (Amane had trained Misao and still refers to him as "Rookie"), as well as Kiriko Masaki, Ryoko Balta and Neju Ne Melmas, under the charge that they were accomplices. But unknown to them, Misao was secretly working undercover for Mikami to expose a rogue faction of the G.A., that was aiding the space pirate Tarant Shank, to learn the secret of Fuku, the cabbit that powered the Kamidake II. This showed when Misao allowed the girls to stay in a castle owned by the Kuramitsu family on planet Seniwa that had a computer which they could use to solve the case.

Afterwards Misao went to report back to his corrupt G.A. superiors, but had actually brought Mikami and an armed escort of G.A. officers to arrest them.
