Mihoshi Kuramitsu

About Kuramitsu, Mihoshi

Mihoshi Kuramitsu is a Galaxy Police detective from the Tenchi Muyo! series. Her name means "Beautiful Star" and references a town in Okayama Prefecture. In the OVA continuity, she's a member of the Kuramitsu family—a Seniwan clan whose influence ranks second only to Jurai royalty. She's widely considered one of the Galaxy Police's best officers, though her career took a serious hit after an incident early in the series (hinted at but never fully shown) involving a failed arranged marriage. The True Tenchi novels elaborate that she actually fell in love with the man she was supposed to marry, he left her, and the heartbreak drove her to suicide. The Kuramitsu family brought her back, but the revival came with side effects: a tendency toward incompetence balanced by near-invulnerability. Genealogically, Mihoshi's got some interesting connections. She's the great-great-granddaughter of Washu through her son Mikumo, and her grandfather Minami serves as the Galaxy Police's Grand Marshal. Her mother Mitoto works for the GP too, though as a cleaning lady. She has a younger brother, Misao, who married Mashisu Makibi. The family seems loaded with bizarre reality-warping abilities—Mihoshi can casually sidestep consequences that would trap anyone else, and her mother has a weird talent for unconsciously traveling vast interstellar distances. Whether any of this connects to deeper cosmic anomalies remains unclear, but it's noteworthy either way. Day-to-day, Mihoshi's lazy—she eats and sleeps constantly—but genuinely dedicated to her job. She's handy around the house too, more useful than Ryoko or Ayeka. Her main flaw? Her reports are absolute novels, stuffed with irrelevant details. Her write-up on the Kagato incident included so much classified Jurai intel that it got stamped TOP SECRET and locked away; Jurai Intelligence apparently spent four days just summarizing it. She had to submit a redacted version instead.
