Kazuha Migiwa is one of the Yosuga no Sora heroines. She is the stunning daughter of an influential magnate who lives a cultured life that some might compare to a princess.

Appearance[]

Kazuha is a very beautiful young girl with long black hair that has square bangs, a white ribbon on the back side of her hair, dark blue eyes and a refined look that hides her gentle nature.

Personality[]

Kazuha is sharp-minded and attentive to every detail. As a result of her parent’s constant travels and long distance liaisons, she learned self-sufficient independence from a young age. Nonetheless, Kazuha does not consider herself superior to others, with a modest nature that’s ever ready to take a subordinate role in teamwork and friendship. She often worries more about the others than herself.

Background[]

Kazuha didn't have any friends in her childhood because she was the daughter of the most influential person in the village, but this changed when she got to know a cute and innocent girl named Akira Amatsume. They often played together and the other kids joined them. Kazuha then made many friends. Even after Akira learned that Kazuha was an Ojou-sama, she didn't distance herself from her. But this happiness didn't last much longer, as Akira's only parent passed away and she had to move away from the village. One night, Kazuha heard her father talking about adopting Akira, but her mother was against it and threatened that if he did, she would move away with Kazuha. Kazuha then revealed herself and cried, asking why. Her parents told her that Akira is Kazuha's father's daughter and that they are half sisters. After that, Mr. Migiwa decides to pay Yahiro Ifukube to take care of Akira, without Kazuha's knowledge.

Story (Anime)[]

Kazuha Route (Episodes 2-4)[]

While cleaning the swimming pool as part of a mixed gym, Akira accidentally soaks Kazuha who forgot her swimsuit, and so Akira takes her to dry off. Haruka finds Kazuha's phone and goes to return it, only to overhear a sensual-sounding conversation in which Kazuha addresses Akira as "Onee-chan" (big sister).

When Kazuha realizes that Haruka has overheard their conversation, she chases him down to clear up any misunderstanding. She reveals that Akira is, in fact, her illegitimate older sister, born of a different mother. Due to her family's societal standing, Kazuha's father is not able to acknowledge Akira as his daughter, causing Kazuha to be resentful of her father and to feel a burden of guilt and responsibility towards the always-hard-working Akira. To help lift Kazuha's spirits, Haruka invites her out on a date, and they subsequently realize and admit their rapidly progressing feelings towards each other. Meanwhile, Akira continues to try her best on her own, but collapses, apparently due to exhaustion.

On their way home from school, Haruka and Kazuha are interrupted by a frantic Yahiro, who is concerned over the non-appearance of the always-responsible Akira as usual. They discover Akira at her home, collapsed due to exhaustion, and Kazuha proceeds to blame herself and her infatuation with Haruka for not noticing Akira's condition. Akira recovers a few days later, but confronts Kazuha about her abandonment of Haruka and the inappropriate sense of guilt she feels regarding their father's actions. Realizing the truth of Akira's words, Kazuha withdraws into a state of depression while struggling to determine what to do. The day of the festival arrives, and Kazuha works up the courage to appear, where she is reunited with Haruka. Haruka informs Kazuha that her father had been supporting Akira financially in secret all this time and, when Kazuha witnesses her father praising Akira, she realizes that she had misjudged him. Thus, she was able to move past her codependency towards Akira and pursue a whole-hearted romantic relationship with Haruka.

Akira's Route (Episodes 2, 5-6)[]

The introduction to this episode replays the event where Haruka was standing near the girls locker room, overhearing Akira's and Kazuha's conversation, but this time, instead of walking away misled, Akira comes out and takes the phone from Haruka. These events lead to Haru romantically pursuing Akira instead, and exploring Akira's past.

At ont point in the route, a doctor's missing journal is uncovered, where it is written that Kazuha and Akira were possibly switched at birth. With the journal, he suggests to Yahiro and Kazuha a DNA test to prove things once and for all. Yahiro refuses, but, despite disapproval from her mother, Kazuha agrees. Haruka informs Akira at the shrine the next day that the DNA results will be out in five days, but Akira disappears on the fifth day. Haruka finds her at the train station, where they talk until the evening. When the DNA results arrive that night, Kazuha and Sora delivers it to Akira, who is still at the station, but she buckled, too scared to read it. It is then that Kazuha's mother appears, and tells everything at their home, where Akira is shown the lost pendant, returned to her by someone who found it at the mountains, basing on the name engraved on its back. She reveals that she and Akira's mother had shared the same hospital room, and, one day Akira pulled the pendant off of her neck as Mrs. Migiwa held her in her arms. After hearing that Akira's mother had died, she gave the pendant to her to make her feel, at least, the presence of a mother. Akira then reads the DNA results, and it read negative, which means Akira is born of a different mother. There, Kazuha's mother let her keep the pendant, and apologizes to Akira. She later confesses her love for Haruka and vice versa.

Nao's and Sora's Routes (Episodes 7-12)[]

Kazuha plays a small part in these arcs, beyond helping set up the pool date between Haru and Nao in episode 7

Relationships[]

The relationship between Haru and Kazuha Gallery of Haru/Kazuha's relationship

The 'close' relationship between characters Akira Amatsume and Kazuha Migiwa. Though at first Haruka mistakes them for being lovers, due to overhearing a sensual conversation between them coming from the girl's locker room, it is revealed by Kazuha to Haruka she and Akira are half-sisters. The two share the same father. While Kazuha is aware of her relation to Akira, Akira, however, is unaware of her and Kazuha being half-sisters and believing her protectiveness and concern for her is really done out of a romantic nature, Akira kisses her and Kazuha steps back shocked by this sudden move by Akira and runs away emotional and sobbing.

In the manga novelization of the series, Akira holds a romantic interest in Kazuha due to her protectiveness before it's revealed that although they shared the same room in the hospital they were both born in. They weren't actually blood related according to DNA test results. In the anime, however, this was adapted to both girls having a strong connection with one another (Akira's mistakenly being romantic) before it's revealed by Kazuha that they are actually half-sisters.
This is the second character relationship in the series in which the characters share an incestuous kiss, due to them being really half-sisters (Akira didn't know; Kazuha knew and was appropriately shocked by this action), the second being between fraternal twins Haruka and Sora.

Ryouhei and Kazuha weren't in a relationship, though Ryouhei joked on the possibility that she harbored a crush on Haruka, which resulted in Kazuha blushing and Akira becoming jealous.
