Miho Nosaka (野坂 ミホ Nosaka Miho?) is a fictional character in the manga Yu-Gi-Oh!, the first series Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, and Toei's Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie (not the movie that is airing in North America and Europe). In the English version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters video game, she is called Melody. Miho's voice actor in Toei's series is Yukana Nogami.
Miho, who is in class 1-B at Domino High School, is nicknamed "ribbon" or "ribbon-chan" for the yellow ribbon she wears in her hair. In the manga, Miho, the student librarian, is a meek, shy, and quiet girl. Miho in the manga is a minor character; Hiroto Honda (Tristan Taylor in the English anime) has a crush on her. Honda buys a jigsaw puzzle from Sugoroku Mutou (Solomon Muto in the English anime), the grandfather of Yugi Mutou (romanized as Yugi Muto in the English anime). Honda decides to give the puzzle to Miho as a gift. Later, a beautiful teacher named Ms. Chono (known as Miss Madusa in the English Dungeon Dice Monsters video game) decides to do a desk check. When she finds the puzzle, she asks who it is from. Yugi, Katsuya Jonouchi (Joey Wheeler in the English anime), and Honda all say they made the puzzle, so Chono decides to solve it after announcing she will expel the person who made the puzzle.
Dark Yugi (Yami Yugi in the English anime) comes out and places a penalty game on Chono; the more she hurts Honda and Miho, the more her beautiful façade cracks. When she solves it, her face cracks open, revealing her true face twisted by her own scorn and viciousness. An embarrassed and totally humiliated Chono runs out of the classroom. Miho dumps Honda after he directly asks her out. Yugi and Jonouchi buy him a hamburger to cheer him up, and Honda becomes friends with Yugi.
In Toei's first series anime, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Miho is made into a main character along with Yugi, Anzu Mazaki (Téa Gardner in the English anime), Honda, and Jonouchi. Generally, she appears to be a shallow, somewhat air-headed girl; however, she cares deeply about her friends, and is not afraid to confront people who endanger them. In the 27-episode long anime, Honda has a crush on Miho throughout the whole series (which generally resulted in Miho using him to get gifts, or do a hard task for her), but Miho falls for Ryo Bakura. In the first series anime, Miho is not involved in the Chono and the love puzzle plot. Instead, a girl named Mayumi had a crush on Jonouchi and wanted to send him a love letter in the form of a puzzle. In episode 168 of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, her name appears on the top of the list that Axel Brodie (Austin O'Brien) is looking at.
