Koizumi, Risa

小泉リサ

Risa Koizumi, the protagonist, is not your typical Japanese high school student. At 172 centimetres (5 ft 8 in), Risa is significantly taller than most Japanese girls her age (the average height for a female is 160 cm (5 ft 3 in)). Ironically, her surname means 'little spring'. She and other characters compare her to a giraffe. Risa can be impulsive and strong-willed at times, and is rarely willing to display her softer side. She had a crush on Suzuki before he started dating Chiharu. At the beginning of the series, Risa is 170 cm (5 ft 7 in) but she gains 2 cm (0.79 in) in height to become 172 cm (5 ft 8 in).
