Miho Amakata

Miho Amakata (天方 美帆 Amakata Miho) is the classical literature teacher at Iwatobi High School. She is also Haruka and Makoto's homeroom teacher.

Appearance
Miho has brown, shoulder-length, slightly wavy hair. It parts in the middle, so her bangs fall on both left and right side. She has brown eyes. Miho often wears a white shirt whose neckline is edged with blue fabric. She wears a loose green sweater over her shirt that appears to have very long sleeves. Along with her shirt and sweater at the top, she wears blue jeans and white shoes at the bottom. Sometimes, she also wears the white shirt whose neckline is edged with pink fabric, the loose pastel orange sweater over her shirt with very long sleeves, blue jeans and white shoes. As an accessory, she often wears a necklace around her neck.

Personality
She utters the words of great figures from the past, but usually, they make no sense or have nothing to do with the current conversation. Due to her personality, when she asks something of someone, they can't refuse. She's somewhat clumsy and seems to be slightly nervous when people ask her a question and watch her directly in the eye. Although her dream of becoming a swimwear designer did not come true, she's neither bitter nor sad, but she told herself that she'll never wear a swimsuit ever again. Miho indirectly describes herself old, although she isn't. She owns a pink car and likes girly stuff.

Makoto describes her as "a little strange".

History
She seems to have been an office lady in Tokyo in the past, but no one knows the details. It is rumored that she starting teaching because her dreams failed in Tokyo.

Haruka Nanase
Miho is Haruka's classic literature teacher as well as his homeroom teacher. Haruka's not really impressed by the fact that she became a teacher as her plan B, as well as the fact that she misunderstood him for a girl, calling him "Miss Nanase Haruka". However, she apologized for it immediately after Makoto had clarified the misunderstanding.

Makoto Tachibana
Miho is Makoto's classic literature teacher as well as his homeroom teacher. He met her at the opening ceremony and could tell a lot about her to Haruka the next day. She had helped him and Nagisa when they were scolded by another teacher and later, she became a supervisor of the swimming club at Iwatobi High.

Nagisa Hazuki
It is unknown weather or not she's Nagisa's classic literature teacher as well, but she helped him and Makoto when they were scolded by another teacher. Later, when Miho already became a supervisor of the swimming club at Iwatobi High, Nagisa got the idea to make her wear a swimsuit so that she would attract students to join the club, but she got angry with him and he never really got the idea of her wearing a swimsuit for such a reason ever again.

Goro Sasabe
The two seem to know each other from the time when Miho worked as an office lady, but when Goro asked her if he knew her from somewhere, she denied claiming that she met him for the first time.
