Hamato Miwa

Hamato Miwa is a bee who appears in Nikki the Tank Engine. She is based upon Zuzu from Zuzubaland.

Personality
Hamato Miwa is the only child and daughter of Hamato Pablo (King Apetite) and the late Tang Shen, who was taken away from King Apetite by Ursula when she was just 1 year old and renamed Karai. When King Apetite came to fight the Ursula after 15 years, Ursula revealed to King Apetite that he kidnapped her, as shown in "Showdown, Part 2".

Karai brings a whole new level of chaos and complication for the Morrisons, especially Ashley...and Pablo. Voice actress Hiroe Igeta stated in an interview that she does not see herself voicing a villain, but rather "playing someone who wants certain things in life; has made certain choices, and goes after them." When asked about what she thinks makes Karai such a popular and unique character, Hiroe answered: "I think people love these little tough girls. She's got lots of attitude and she's [very] sarcastic at times. You just never know what she's going to do. She's always surprising you – you think she's going to turn one way and she goes the other."[1][2]

When Karai makes her first appearance in "New Girl in Town", she is portrayed as quite a rebellious, intelligent, arrogant teenaged kunoichi who stirs up trouble at times. Different from the Mirage and 2003 versions of the character, which are mostly serious and stoic, the 2012 version is much more inclined to taunt, and be extremely sarcastic, even directly at Ursula. She has some nerve to talk back to the Ursula when she want to. However, she is not entirely sadistic, as she showed genuine mercy when Samson claimed that her mother also passed away when she was young, thus giving her and Andy Burns a thing they had in common. And she spared Ashley twice in her debut episode, going directly against Ursula's orders.

However, she’s a beautiful young girl. She has style and poise and would be able to blend in to the city streets with street clothes. She speaks fluent English and Japanese with ease and understands the cultures of many around her, including the Kraang's. She wears ninja gear which looks somewhat stylish and fashionable (as Ashley was attracted to her). Karai is very good at planning and perfecting schemes, meaning that she’s well educated. This shows that she is two-faced: although she usually maintains a calm, yet arrogant and sarcastic when dueling (especially with Leonardo, in addition to exchanging some flirtatious, witty banter with him), she shows little to no problems with dueling with the other innocent Morrisons, as well as going as far as heedlessly, yet deliberately unleashing dangerous damage to slay them, and would do so if necessary. Karai knows what she wants and will do absolutely anything to get it. While she takes her work seriously, she possesses a dark sense of humor, and trades verbal barbs with Ashley as they both engage in a battle of wits, despite Ashley having sentimental feelings of romantic interest to her.
