MihoshiCharProfile

Mihoshi is an extremely lucky but naiive, clumsy and bubble-headed woman. She is the granddaughter of the Marshal of the Galaxy Police (GP), while her mother is an authority on antique appraisal. Mihoshi holds the rank of First-Class Detective with the Galaxy Police after she was demoted from the Central Office due to her poor performance record and the many bills she created because of her clumsiness. Mihoshi was then assigned the patrol of a specific area of the galaxy and she travels alone in her spaceship with her on-board computer, Yukinojo.
   After her Captain informs her that the Galaxy Police have located Kagato, Mihoshi vows to prove herself by capturing him. During her search, Yukinojo fearfully informs her that they are falling out of control into an energy pocket. The energy pocket opens above the Hot Springs Inn in which Tenchi, Ryoko, Ayeka, and Sasami are trying to get Ryoko's demon under control. Tenchi is levitated towards the energy pocket as Mihoshi, unconsious, falls from it. Tenchi catches her and when the energy pocket closes, the two fall to the earth and land in the hot spring outside the inn. When Mihoshi regains consiousness, she is surprised and upset that she has come in contact with the local people- a violation of Galaxy Police policy. She is extremely concerned about the whereabouts of her lost watch and is surprised that Ryoko was able to fix it. Mihoshi does not recognize Ryoko as a space pirate, but her watch detects that Ryo-Ohki is near. Stunned to find that Ryo-Ohki is in the same room wit her, Mihoshi faints after the cabbit takes a bite out of her gun.
   When Mihoshi helps Ayeka and Ryoko track down Kagato on the Soja, she becomes seperated ffrom them and her control cube transports her to the inner layer. She stumbles across the place of Washu's captivity and after she steps on the platform that leads to Washu's prison, the gigantic guardian snakes are activated. Mihoshi tries to use her cube to summon a larger and more powerful gun but instead, the cube frees Washu from her trap.
   After Kagato's demise, Mihoshi is offered a promotion to the Central Office with the Galaxy Police, but she turns down this opportunity. She submits her detailed report to the Galaxy Police and returns to Earth. Unfortunately she forgets that the Earth does not have the capabilities to apply the reverse brakes on her shuttle when landing, and she crashes into the Masaki house and destroys it. Washu recreates the house and Mihoshi stays in Nobuyuki's office on the third floor. Mihoshi tries to be considerate by doing some chores around the Masaki house and the Shrine to earn her keep. She stores her shuttle in subspace and Washu is able to locate it whenever Mihoshi needs to leave on a mission.
   Mihoshi feels that Tenchi may be her destiny because he saved her from the energy pocket. She has strong feelings for him and hopes that he feels the same way towards her. Whenever she thinks about the possibility of Tenchi loving her, she becomes giddy and behaves in an irrational manner.
   Mihoshi enjoys drinking green tea and coffee, and she has excellent tolerance for vast amounts of sake. She is fond of reading and has an affinity for shojo manga. She likes cute things and has a clock in the shape of a monkey in her spaceship. Mihoshi is a very kind-hearted, innocent and sweet, and she generally tries to do what she thinks is best. However, her awkwardness and inability to comprehend things quikly often gets her into trouble. Mihoshi is moved to tears easily either by extreme fear or touching situations. While she is not afraid to pursue the ruthless Kagato, Mihoshi is extremely frightened of ghosts and ghost stories. Whenever Mihoshi is overcome with fear, she will do one or all of three things: cry histerically, freeze in her tracks, or quote a person's rights after she informs her opponent that he/she is under arrest. She despises being wet and has an extremely shot attention span, especially when she is bored. However, her attention span increases dramatically whenever she watches soap operas on TV. Once Mihoshi is distracted, it can be extremely difficult to regain her atention. Despite her wandering train of thought, Mihoshi has the ability to remember small, somewhat irrelevant details that she hears only once.
   It is hard for Mihoshi to follow directions- either verbal or written. She is not easily discouraged and she often manages to see the good in all people and in many situations. She has the uncanny ability to fall asleep anywhere and in any position. For example, when Sasami runs away from the Hot Springs Inn, Washu captures and binds Ryoko and Mihoshi (to prevent them from interfering with Ayeka and Sasami's heart-to-heart talk) and soon after Mihoshi is fast asleep. Mihoshi can notice small details that others may disregard as unimportant. For example, when she, Tenchi, Ayeka, and Ryo-Ohki were trying to rescue Ryoko from Kagato, she was the only person who noticed that the gem that can change back and forth into Ryo-Ohki's animal image was different from all the others.
   Although she is often a bumbling idiot, Mihoshi takes her role as a galaxy police officer very seriously but she is rarely aware of the graveness of situations or afraid of danger until she is knee-deep in it. Before understanding her plight, she always reacts very calmly and nonchalantly. Unfortunately, she never seems to get her Galaxy Police mission directives right and she hears what she wants to hear from others, especially the Captain. She often ends her transmissions with the Captain before he is finished giving her orders.
   Mihoshi is an accurate shot with her Galaxy Police assigned pistol, but she does not always think to use it at the most appropriate moments. In addition to her firearm, Mihoshi's battle suit has a special energy attack- a large, blue energry bolt blasts from her left hand. The energy turns into water droplets thatfreeze her target upon contact. She has a control cube that she wears on her right hip where it looks like a pom-pom. She is not skilled in the use of the cube and thus it can fall off her uniform and transport her into different dimensions (such as Washu's). Whenever she is not in uniform, she keeps her cube hidden inside her hair. She has three unoforms assigned from the Galaxy Police that are worn for different occasions: Her orange and black combat uniform; her blue, stewardess-like standard uniform (complete with bullet-proof vest); a dark, arms-green travelling uniform (whihc is presumable worn when meeting dignitaries and other important people). Her password to access secure levels of information with Yukinojo is, "There was an old woman who lives in a shoe", and she is known to fix her spaceship by kicking it.
   Sometimes Mihoshi bumbling results in positive outcomes. For example, when she fed sake to Ryo-Ohki while they were pursuing Kagato, Ryo-Ohki became so drunk she could only stumble about but she subsequently evaded the assaults from the Soja. Mihoshi tends to fall behind easily (perhaps she is distracted by other things) and has to hurry to catch up. In addition to being left behind, Mihoshi has poor direction sense and easily loses her way or leads her companions down incorrect routes. There are times when Mihoshi is oblivious to the true feelings of others and she does not usually understand sarcasm. She does not like to see anyone arguing (especially Ryoko and Ayeka) and often tries to play the role of the mediater, but she is not always successful.
   Mihoshi enjoys Taro when he comes to visit but she has some trouble changing his diapers. However, she perseveres and eventually masters that task. Her other domestic skill involves peeling potatos with great accuracy and speed. Perhaps she was often placed on KP duty while she was training (and bumbling) to be a Galaxy Police officer. Unfortunately for Washu, Mihoshi is very interested in all of her gadgets and enjoys touching them, which usually causes them to malfuntion or break. In general, when she is not watching soap operas, patrolling the galaxy with Yukinojo, or writing her exaustively deatiled and accurate reports, Mihoshi will be found napping somewhere.
