Mitsuha with her short hair.

Mitsuha Miyamizu is depicted as an attractive teenage girl of average height and build, often described as the spitting image of her late mother, Futaba Miyamizu. She has striking, straight black hair that extends to her upper back, styled in a distinctive manner: two braids on either side tied into a small ponytail adorned with a braided cord featuring red, blue, and yellow-orange hues. Bangs cascade down the left side of her face, complemented by chin-length strands framing her cheeks, and she has expressive brown eyes.

After her journey to Tokyo in search of Taki Tachibana, Mitsuha chooses to give her braided cord to him and opts for a new look, cutting her hair to chin-length with two strands that beautifully frame her face. Later, she wears the braided cord again when Taki returns it to her during the moment known as Kataware-doki. In a promotional video, an adult Mitsuha is seen with a chic bob hairstyle, where the braided cord serves as a stylish headband. As she matures, she allows her hair to grow back to upper-back length, keeping a small section braided at the back, again incorporating the braided cord into her look.

In her school life, Mitsuha is frequently seen in her uniform, which comprises a short-sleeved white shirt featuring a pocket and a red ribbon at the collar. The shirt is neatly tucked into a gray skirt, and she completes her outfit with brown loafers and black stockings. During the winter months, she adds an orange (later a blue) sweater over her shirt for warmth.

On the fateful day when the comet struck, Mitsuha wore a beautiful blue yukata adorned with white floral patterns, paired with a red obi and light brown sandals.

In a scene from 2016 when time reverses, she is dressed in a white dress embellished with stars, complemented by a yellow cardigan and a pair of elegant heels.

As an adult, Mitsuha often dons a light orange shirt layered with a light pink cardigan. She pairs this with peach-colored jeans that reach just above her shins, cinched at the waist with a brown belt, and she frequently wears yellow heels. Her look is often completed with a necklace and a stylish brown handbag.

Mitsuha with her parents.

Mitsuha was born on December 1, 1995, as the first child of Toshiki and Futaba Miyamizu. From a young age, she was immersed in the traditions and rituals of the Miyamizu family, learning about their role in maintaining the local shrine. When Mitsuha was eight, her younger sister, Yotsuha, was born, and the family enjoyed a blissful and harmonious life together until tragedy struck.

Mitsuha’s life changed drastically when Futaba passed away when she was around 11 years old. This loss left her father, Toshiki, heartbroken and feeling powerless to save his wife. In the wake of her death, he distanced himself from the Miyamizu shrine and its traditions, opting instead to pursue a career in politics. He openly confessed that his love was solely for Futaba, not for the family’s legacy. Although Toshiki wanted to take Mitsuha and Yotsuha with him, the sisters chose to stay with their grandmother, Hitoha Miyamizu.

Despite the absence of both parents, Mitsuha managed to maintain a relatively happy childhood. However, her relationship with her father remained strained, especially after he became the mayor of Itomori, where his strict demeanor often clashed with her more free-spirited nature. Mitsuha also faced criticism and judgment from her peers during her participation in Miyamizu traditions, which added to her feelings of discontent.

In 2010 or 2011, Mitsuha began her studies at Itomori High School, where she developed close friendships with Sayaka Natori and Katsuhiko Teshigawara (often referred to as Tessie). Due to Tessie’s connection as the son of her father’s contractor, they sometimes became targets of teasing from their classmates.

Manga

In contrast to the film, the Kimi no Na wa. manga delves deeper into the epilogue from Mitsuha’s viewpoint. She recounts how her father, Toshiki Miyamizu, orchestrates the evacuation of the residents of Itomori using helicopters. After completing high school, Mitsuha enrolls in a university in Tokyo, eventually securing a position as an office worker. Throughout her journey, she maintains friendships with Sayaka Natori and Tessie, both of whom also reside in Tokyo.

Tenki no Ko

In the 2021 film Tenki no Ko , Mitsuha is featured as a jewelry saleswoman at a shop located in LUMINE. She assists Hodaka Morishima by providing advice on whether the ring he has selected for Hina Amano is appropriate. At this point in the narrative, Mitsuha has yet to reunite with Taki Tachibana.

In a 2024 director’s interview, Makoto Shinkai confirmed that Mitsuha and Taki eventually got married, solidifying their bond beyond the events of Kimi no Na wa.
