Chiyo Chan (Azumanga Daioh Movie 2001)

Chiyo Mihama (Japanese: 美浜 ちよ), also known as Chiyo-chan, is a child prodigy and one of the main characters in the Azumanga Daioh series.

Biography[]

Chiyo has skipped five grades to tenth grade (the first grade in Japanese high school) at the start of the series and is still at the top of the class. She is extremely smart and responsible for her age — for example, she was chosen by the other students to be the class representative. However, Chiyo-chan (as she is usually called) still has the naivety, desires, and fears of a child. She is 10 years old when she first enters high school (and 13 by the time she graduates), but despite the age difference, she gets along with her older classmates. Aside from being seen as impossibly cute, Chiyo is a nice girl — a peacemaker who tries to stop any bickering and who is generous by nature. Her friends sometimes take advantage of her good nature and scholastic abilities. Her biggest weakness is that she is terrible at sports — she is not only five years younger than her peers, but small for her age — which leads to a lack of confidence because she feels she is a burden. Her March birthday parties are an annual celebration for the girls. Chiyo is closest to Osaka, who is most like her in naivety, and Sakaki, with whom she shares an interesting relationship: Sakaki covets Chiyo's small stature, cuteness, and warm relationship with her dog, Mr. Tadakichi, while Chiyo longs for Sakaki's height and imposing air. Chiyo and Sakaki also share an interest for cute things such as Neco Coneco toys. On the other hand, Chiyo does not get along very well with Tomo, who loves teasing her all too much, similar to Yukari. Osaka frequently daydreams about Chiyo's pigtails, imagining that they detach, speak, move on their own, are used to fly, control Chiyo's mind, or even cause her death if removed incorrectly.

Trivia[]

She's 133 cm (about 4’4") tall in the beginning, but she grows by the time the series ends. There was one scene where Osaka led Chiyo to think Sakaki, who is exceptionally tall, had stolen Chiyo's height. Chiyo begins leaping at Sakaki, most likely just for the fun of it, asking for her to return her height. In both the manga and anime, Chiyo has the last line spoken by a character in the series, when Osaka encourages her to come along to Magical Land. In the manga Chiyo's response is "Coming!" while it is translated to "Okay!" (はい Hai — literally "yes") in the anime. Chiyo was born in March 1989. Chiyo is arguably the main protagonist of the series, if there is one at all, due to having the most screentime and focus. She claims her greatest weakness, aside from having poor athletic abilities, is that she is bad at tongue-twisters. Chiyo is said to have an overactive imagination. Because of this, she hates stories about painful accidents, something Tomo doesn't hesitate to take advantage of. Chiyo is sometimes called "Chiyosuke" by Yukari and Tomo, usually as a way of teasing her.
