Biography
Misogi Kumagawa (Japanese: 球磨川 禊, Hepburn: Kumagawa Misogi)
As a child, Kumagawa went to Hakoniwa General Hospital to test for Abnormalities, and ended up sitting next to Medaka while waiting to get checked. He was sorely unimpressed by what was going on, telling Medaka that people are born for no reason. As he was called in, Kumagawa left Medaka with the parting words that there was no point in being alive. He then met with and was examined by Hitomi Hitoyoshi. Hitomi put on a smile and introduced herself, asking him if there was anything she could do for him. Kumagawa asked her to mark him down as a Normal, so as not to worry his parents. Kumagawa attempted to bribe her with information about two thousand Abnormals, though Hitomi refused even so, declaring it was her duty to make children like him happy. In face of Hitomi's constant refusal, Kumagawa instead revealed that he knew about her son, and asked if he could be his 'friend' should he have to be hospitalized. Hitomi recognized the threat, but was left with no choice but to mark Kumagawa as having no problems. While Student Council president at Hakobune Middle School, Kumagawa used Kouki Akune to get rid of students he didn't like. One of his targets was Medaka; he told Akune that a tomboy like her was not necessary in their little paradise. Medaka's subsequent conversion of Akune would be the spark that led to her fight with Kumagawa. The situation between Kumagawa and Medaka came to a head when he viciously attacked his vice-president Ajimu, ostensibly to confirm his feelings for her. Worried that he loved her only for her good looks, Kumagawa ripped off her face. This drove Medaka into a rage, and into War God Mode for the first time. Losing herself in anger, she beat Kumagawa until he begged her to stop. He left the school afterwards
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Misogi Kumagawa was a 17 year old young man of average height and build with blue eyes and black hair. As a transfer student, he still wears the standard men's uniform of Suisou Academy; a black jacket with a white collar and five yellow buttons, and matching pants. After joining the Student Council, Kumagawa gains his own version of the uniform, made by Hitomi. Kumagawa's version includes a collar similar to that of his old uniform. He wears the blue armband signifying his position as Vice-President on his left arm. Kumagawa quickly sheds the Student Council uniform in favor of his orignal style of dress, keeping only the vice-president's armband. Kumagawa gives up his armband after leaving the Student Council. He was known by a number of aliases that included Incomplete Kumagawa, Defective Product and as Naked-Apron Senpai.
He was described as being a 'Born Loser' who failed at everything and had lost to everyone at everything but that this in turn had made him stronger than everyone.
Powers and abilities
Though born human, Misogi Kumagawa was one of the rare humans that had a superhuman ability that was classed as an Abnormality (異常者アブノーマル, Abunōmaru). This Skill (能力スキル, Sukiru) tended to be a kind of positive ability for the user. However, some Skill Holders (能力所有者スキルホルダー, Sukiru Horudā) became warped by their negative powers and were referred as a Minus (過負荷マイナス, Mainasu). As one of the Minuses, Misogi had his own ability called All Fiction (大嘘憑きオール・フィクション, Ōru Fikushon) that allowed him to deny aspects of reality and to make anything into 'nothing'.
