Tsugumi is an avid collector of knowledge and a bookworm who is often seen reading electronic books.
Her quiet oddness gives her the image of a lovable eccentric.
She values correct knowledge very highly, which matches both her love of learning and her cautionary favorite quote.
This makes her seem dreamy at first glance, but she is actually quite sharp and thoughtful.
Tsugumi is the daughter of the family that runs Suwa Grand Shrine in Yokosuka, a shrine dedicated to a deity associated with success in examinations.
Before entering the marine school, she served there as a shrine maiden.
In the comic version, during the busy New Year season, she immediately recognized Rin Shiretoko as someone connected to shrine duties.
She then had Rin help with the shrine work.
Her mother also works as a barber.
This detail adds another ordinary family element to Tsugumi's otherwise unusual life.
As Harekaze's telegraph operator, Tsugumi handles communications aboard the ship.
Her exceptional smartphone typing speed is especially useful for recording transmissions.
She is often paired with Megumi Uda, who has been her friend since before entering school.
Their preexisting friendship gives them a natural working rhythm.
Tsugumi's dowsing hobby is treated almost like a miraculous talent.
She has produced one unbelievable result after another.
In elementary school, she supposedly located an oil field beneath the schoolyard.
In middle school, she supposedly found a hot spring behind the school.
This absurd streak of success makes her resemble an unusually lucky seafaring heroine.
Even her decision to enroll in Yokosuka Girls' Marine School came from the result of a dowsing reading.
Tsugumi combines old and new in a very distinctive way.
She is both a shrine maiden rooted in tradition and a communications specialist who relies on fast smartphone input.
Her mixture of spirituality, technical skill, and odd intuition makes her one of the more memorable members of the crew.
She feels mysterious, but in a warm and charming way.
During the Equator Festival, Tsugumi joined Rin Shiretoko in praying for the safety of the voyage.
This scene emphasizes her shrine background and her sincere concern for the crew's well-being.
