Mikuru Asahina

Mikuru Asahina (朝比奈 みくる, Asahina Mikuru) is a time traveler from the distant future who is assigned to investigate the reason behind the inability to travel to any point more than three years before the present story. Mikuru is a soft-spoken girl, the lowest in her Time Travelers' Committee. At the beginning of the series, she is kidnapped by Haruhi and regularly used as sex appeal. She often tries to explain what is going on but is heavily censored by an undisclosed future technology which makes her say "classified information" in place of anything she is not authorized to speak about to people of the past. Haruhi loves dressing up Mikuru in (usually embarrassing) outfits, claiming that she is the "mascot" of the SOS Brigade. Despite this, Mikuru remains terrified of her. In the anime and novels Mikuru discourages Kyon from acting upon any feelings that he may have for her, explaining that he is Haruhi's "chosen person." In The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya light novel she implies that if he is nice to her, bad things will continue to befall her. She is also a supporting character in the spin-off series The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan in which she is not a time traveler but retains her character from The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.
