Miku Nakano

Miku Nakano is the third member of the eponymous quintuplets featured in Negi Haruba's manga and anime series 5-toubun no Hanayome (literally "Five Equal Brides"). She is described as having a timid personality and the least sociable of the quintuplets. She is identified by her long, untied hair, a pair of Audio Technica headphones around her neck, and black pantyhose on her school uniform. Her favourites include matcha tea and Japanese historical generals. Being a harem series involving the five twin girls, Miku is the first quintuplet to fall in love with the male protagonist Fuutarou.

Contest profile
For most of the series' runtime, Miku has been long considered a top contender to become Fuutarou's bride. During the anime's first season in Winter 2019 she emerged as the most popular quintuplet because to her personality and cute pouts. Naturally, her popularity in the anime extends into the saimoe contests where she is by and large the most successful character from the entire series.

The Chinese moegirl wiki lists the Nakano quintuplet as a member of the "Ten-Kings Club" (Moegirl link) owing to her victories in several Facebook waifu tournaments, which are mostly organized by Latin American groups.

In ISML
Miku entered ISML's 2019 Winter seasonal as a second seed, defeating Raphtalia and Chika in the first two bracket rounds before losing to Kaguya in the final. Because of her runner-up result, she automatically qualified for the main tournament of ISML 2020.

Miku's 2020 regular season campaign got off to a great start as she won all of her matches in the Aquamarine group stage. However, her CVP stat wasn't enough to qualify for that period's necklace round; instead she competed for that period's bracelet (consolation gem) where she finished second behind Raildex's Kuroko Shirai. The quintuplet continued to perform relatively well in the second group stage, but crucial losses to Saekano's Utaha and Raildex's Misaki ultimately prevented her from advancing directly to the next round, finishing 7th with a 9-6 record. In the ensuing wildcard round she was swiftly kicked out of the tournament with a ghastly 19th place. Afterwards, Miku played in a consolation match fought between losers of the 2nd wildcard round, finishing in 12th place and 44th in final positions overall.

The nomination rules of ISML 2021 state that a maximum of 3 characters from each show airing within Winter and Spring 2021 will be automatically assigned to its respective seasonal contest first. As a result, Miku will play on that year's Winter seasonal league because the anime's season 2 aired during that time. With the tournament using a brand-new format compared to previous seasonals, Miku entered as a favourite to win the diadem, which she easily accomplished after winning all of her group matches and garnering the highest score in the range-voting diadem round. The result also qualified Miku for the expanded inter-seasonal bracket, which is set to occur during the year's playoff period.
