Professional wrestling style and persona

Misao's character is that of a superhero who claims to be "protecting love and peace" in TJPW, and uses underhanded tactics to get ahead in her matches. She typically carries cold spray which she uses to incapacitate her opponents. Her character was inspired by Western comic books, and she has compared it to Catwoman as portrayed in Batman Returns. During her time in Neo Biishiki-gun, she started to use a lifting double underhook facebuster called Vanitas as her finisher.
