Character Profile: Mutsumi Otohime

It's a strange way how things turn out. If you were to put Keitaro and Mutsumi face to face, it'd almost be like putting a mirror in their face. As Naru pointed out once, Mutsumi is practically a female version of Keitaro. Like he, she's generally good natured, if clumsy and funny at times, and having a lot of Keitaro's habits.

Also like Keitaro, she seems to have made a childhood promise to someone to get into Tokyo University...and again like Keitaro, she's a two-time Ronin, though not because she has trouble with the test per se. She could easily pass...if she didn't faint the day of the test...or forget to write her name on the thing...you get the problem. Her big failing is her tendency to choke when it really counts. She's anemic and prone to fainting (the first time she and Keitaro met, they literally ran into each other, and she ended up catatonic for several minutes), and she forgets things now and then.

Mutsumi has a tendency to kiss friends and acquaintances she happens to run into (friendly ones only, mind you). She also has a pet turtle named Onsen Tamago (Tama for short), who she eventually gives to the Hinata residents as a pet. She seems to be able to communicate with it.
