==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always looks sleepy. She has a constitution that prevents her from waking during daylight, and is in danger of not graduating due to lack of attendance. Alert at midnight, she can be seen slaying Witches with a dignified expression, as if a different person entirely.

===Doppel Description===
[[File:Kushu doppel.png|thumb|right|150px|Hepialidae, Kushu's doppel]]
The Doppel of salivation. Its form is a moth. The master of this emotion floats through dreams between sleeping and waking, yet continues to seek the light of the sun. This Doppel’s circular form symbolizes the very same sun that its master seeks, and it floats through the air in the hopes of brightly illuminating its vicinity. But despite scattering powder from its wings to illuminate its surroundings, each mote of dust only emits the faint light of a distant star, and cannot emit anything stronger than that. The unsatisfied Doppel attempts to make the powder shine brighter by firing its own rays of light, but the erratically-reflected light builds up excess energy, explodes, and catches its surroundings in the blast. Yet the Doppel is satisfied to see such a bright light, even if only for a brief instant.

==Etymology==
* The characters of her last name mean "enter" (入) and "name" or "reputation" (名) respectively. 

==Trivia==
*Her illustrator is "[https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=67388 Shino]", who is known as the illustrator of the ''Clockwork Planet'' light novel series and also designed [[Kako Natsume]].
*Her design is vampire-themed, much like [[Kanagi Izumi (Vampire ver.)]] and [[Shinobu Oshino]].
*Because of her wish, when she sees the sunrise she will sleep and won't wake up until nighttime, much like how a vampire is only active at that hour.
*Ironically, both her summary and her design implies that she is like a vampire hunter, who ''hunts'' vampires.
*Both she and [[Hotaru Yura|Hotaru Yura's]] wishes involved sleep and gave them both unusual sleep schedules.
*Her Doppel is named after a [[Wikipedia:Hepialidae|family of moths]], also referred to as "ghost moths", that are crepuscular (active during twilight). The common name of the family in Japanese is "コウモリガ", literally means "bat moth". Ironically, moths are sometimes attracted towards artificial light.
**It also shares the moth design with [[Ui Tamaki]] and [[Umika Misaki]]'s Doppels (which are based on a silk moth and resemble a lepidopteran respectively.)
*** Her doppel may have been inspired by a famous cryptid, the Mothman from Point Pleasant, West Virginia in the United States, described as a large winged, bipedal creature with glowing red eyes in most accounts. Considering Kushu has red eyes and her doppel gives her an image similar to the cryptid, it could be possible.
**** Noticeably is how two of the wings seem to look similar to a birds wing, the Mothman was also described as looking bird like in several accounts.
* It's noted in one event that her name doesn't sound Japanese. Indeed, the name "Irina" is a variant of "Irene" used in several languages, and there is a German surname "Kusch" which would be rendered with the same kana as "Kushu". However, it is "Irina" and not "Kushu" that is rendered in kanji, so it is unclear whether these associations were intended.
