Miho Nosaka

Miho Nosaka is a character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga, first series anime and Yu-Gi-Oh! the Movie. In the English version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters video game, she is called Melody.

Miho appeared once in the manga. In Toei's anime, she was made into a main character along with Yugi, Anzu, Honda, and Jonouchi. Honda has a crush on Miho throughout the whole series.

Personality
In the anime, Miho is cheerful and flirty, though she can also be stubborn and resilient. She also, but rarely, refers to herself as a third person. Miho shows signs of being a typical fangirl, squealing at any given moment when an attractive male (mainly Ryo Bakura) walks past. Much like Honda, she is a romanticist at heart. However, Miho can also be naive and at times a little dim witted, oblivious to the feelings of those around her, much to Honda's dismay.

Manga biography
Miho, who is in class 1-B at Domino High School, is nicknamed "ribbon" or "ribbon-chan" for the yellow ribbon she wears in her hair.

Miho, the student librarian, is a meek, shy, and quiet girl. Miho in the manga is a minor character. Hiroto Honda has a crush on her. Honda buys a love jigsaw puzzle from Sugoroku Mutou, the grandfather of Yugi Mutou, as a gift for Miho. He got Yugi to write a love letter to Miho on the puzzle, that would be revealed on completion, for him. Yugi, Jonouchi and Honda put the puzzle on Miho's desk before class. Later, a beautiful teacher named Ms. Chono decides to do a desk check. When she finds the puzzle, she asks who it is from. Yugi, Jonouchi, and Honda confess, so Chono decides to solve it to find out who it's from, after announcing she will expel the person who made the puzzle.

Dark Yugi comes out and places a Penalty Game on Chono; the more she hurts Honda and Miho, the more her beautiful façade cracks. When she solves it, her face cracks open, revealing an ugly face. Embarrassed, Chono runs out of the classroom.
