About Itsuki Nakano
Itsuki is the fifth of the quintuplets and her name ‘Itsu’ (五) means five while ‘Ki’ (月) means moon. She was born in May but on the 6th instead of the 5th as she was born right at midnight when the date changed.
About Itsuki Nakano: Background
Itsuki is the youngest of the quintuplets and is someone who can hold a grudge. When she first met Futaro in the cafeteria without knowing about each other he accidentally insulted her by saying she would get fat. Itsuki was of course offended and didn't hold a high opinion of him afterward. She didn't approve of the fact that he would be their tutor when they were the same age as well as in the same class.
Although they didn't have a good opinion of each other the two characters eventually came to talk on friendly terms. Itsuki is a very polite character and someone who speaks formally even toward her sisters. Due to her polite nature, she has a hard time being straightforward and can’t be honest with her own feelings.
She especially has a hard time being honest with Futaro which makes her personality come across as a tsundere. Despite having feelings for the protagonist, she can get agitated easily and act prickly toward him.
Itsuki is a big eater. For instance, when she first appears in the series Futaro can see that she has ordered many extra items and that her lunch has a total cost of over 1,000 yen. It is a very extravagant lunch and her wealth can be felt. In contrast, we see Futaro try to find loopholes over which is the cheapest lunch which is only 200 yen.
About Itsuki Nakano: Abilities
Itsuki is a very serious and diligent girl. She has never skipped a class and is always well-mannered. Despite her bad impression of Futaro she was respectful and kind towards the rest of his family and didn't want things to become awkward if she revealed how she felt about being tutored.
She doesn’t have good eyesight and is often seen wearing glasses during tests or studying. Thanks to her own diligent studying she generally scores higher than her siblings but is still considered stupid by Futaro. Her strongest subject is science.
Other Important The Quintessential Quintuplets Characters
Itsuki cares deeply about her sisters and doesn’t like the fact that she wasn’t born on the same day. She tries to stop people from looking too deeply into this fact and wants to be similar to her sisters.
Yotsuba Nakano
Yotsuba is the brightest and most positive in the quintuplets to the point she is stupidly positive. She cares about her sisters and is very worried when her sisters fight against each other. This can be seen when Itsuki and Nino have a big fight and leave their family's apartment. Yotsuba just wishes they could all be together again.
Nino Nakano
Itsuki is probably the closest to the second sister Nino. They both don't have good eyesight and enjoy doing various activities together like shopping and eating meals. Nino cares deeply for her sisters and was very aggressive towards Futaro when she thought he was just a stalker who followed them home.
