Biography
Mitsuami-chan (meaning "Braids"), is a female neon yellow Inkling with the "Megalobraid" hairstyle, "Classic" feminine legwear and "Slit" feminine eyebrows who wears the Tri-Shred Tee and Force ReBoots. Her main weapon is the Tri-Stringer. She debuts in the bonus chapter of Volume 16, albeit her appearance is mostly covered by a hooded cape, shades and facemask, similar to how the player character looks at the beginning of Splatoon 3. Aside from the Force ReBoots, her unhooded appearance was not revealed until the Special Preview of Chapter 66, while her name was not revealed until the full release of Chapter 66. Despite looking forward to days of Turf Wars and rumors circulating about her skill claiming that she was one of Splatsville's top 8 battlers, Mitsuami never participated in real battles until the events of Chapter 66 and practiced entirely on her own. She is an anxious and especially shy Inkling whenever battles are brought up. When she expresses those traits, she makes an awkward smile while sometimes shaking up. She acts as an unofficial member of the Blue Team. Her Smallfry has the "Classic" hairstyle.
