Mihoshi Kuramitsu

Mihoshi Kuramitsu is a Galaxy Police detective from the Tenchi Muyo universe — a cheerful, accident-prone officer whose bumbling yet well-meaning nature lands her in the middle of Tenchi Masaki's chaotic household alongside Ryoko, Ayeka, Washu, and other memorable characters.

Bursting onto the American manga scene in Viz's Mangazine #34 in 1994, Mihoshi Kuramitsu is a Copper/Modern Age arrival who found her footing in the pages of No Need for Tenchi — one of the era's most beloved manga imports. She keeps lively company with a memorable cast including Washu Hakubi, Ryoko Hakubi, Tenchi Masaki, and the Jurai royals Ayeka and Sasami, a lineup that signals just how rich and character-packed her corner of the Viz catalog truly was. Though her catalog footprint is modest, fans of early '90s manga localization will recognize her as part of the wave that helped define Western audiences' love affair with Japanese comics — and that makes even a handful of appearances worth hunting down.
