Personality[]

She is generally an easy going person who isn't bothered by Ichigo's absence. Nor of those of others such as Uryū and Chad, simply saying that they will eventually return to school. She also told her students to not work too hard during summer vacation. However, she can also be strict and makes Ichigo sit special exams because of his multitude of absences.[3]

Plot[]

Agent of the Shinigami arc[]

Entering her classroom, Misato tells her students to take their seats. However, one of her students, Ichigo Kurosaki, runs out with the excuse that his stomach hurts. She doesn't mind though as she believes he will return soon anyway and then has a roll call of the students in her class.[4]

Later, she is present along with the principal and Kagine, who decides to scold some of Misato's students, namely Ichigo, because of what happened during Don Kanonji's TV show that aired in their town yesterday. He shows the video of what Ichigo did that night and begins to yell at him for causing trouble there. Ichigo jokingly states that it was his twin brother in the video, angering Kagine even more. As he's yelling at him Tatsuki Arisawa calls out to him and states that she and Orihime Inoue shouldn't have been called down here as they had nothing to do with this. Kagine tells him that their here because they came with him to the TV show, but Tatsuki lies and states that it was only coincidence that they met him there. However, Keigo Asano tells him that he invited them all there, but Tatsuki simply tells Kagine that Keigo is prone to delusions. As Tatsuki and Orihime leave Ichigo gets mad at them for only saving themselves. Keigo attempts to leave as well, but Kagine tells him he can't as he didn't do anything to stop Ichigo, making him an accomplice. Rukia Kuchiki decides to end all of this by taking the blame and crying. As Kagine tries to make her feel better, Ichigo and everyone else escape through the window. As Kagine is distracted by this, Rukia is able to escape as well. Kagine begins yelling at Misato for not doing anything, but she states that she didn't think that what they did on TV was that big a deal. He then yells at the principal to do something, but he simply wants a copy of the video to show to his grandson so he can brag that a student from his school got on TV.[5]

In the middle of one of Misato's classes, Uryū Ishida walks in injured. Misato asks him what happened and he states that he fell from the stairs. She then tells him to take a seat and that she's going to have a lecture soon.[6]

In the last day of school, Misato finishes her lesson and tells her students that they can act immoral during summer vacation, but to stay alive until September. She then lets her students leave.[7]

After that she begins explaining what they're going to do different than last year of school. All of a sudden Orihime shouts "way to go" and Misato asks her what she's doing. Orihime simply attempts to laugh it off, and all of the other students begin laughing as well.[8]
