Momo's school uniform consists of a loose, short-sleeved black shirt and matching pants that are cut above her calves and she completes her outfit with black shoes.

Personality
Momo first appears as a reserved girl who was first intimidated by the students from the Tokyo School. She has a close relationship with the others girls at her school, Kasumi and Mai, and believes that women are unfairly treated in the jujutsu world in comparison to men. This prejudice influences her own personality, as Momo is seen to care a lot about "cuteness" and her appearance.

Additionally, Momo was quick to follow the belief that Yuji was a danger to everyone, causing her to form a rivalry with Kugisaki. However, despite her rocky relationship with some students, she is a team player and will do the most she can to help in a crisis.

When Nobara manages to get close, Momo kicks her away and distance herself. Momo lost control of her broom, when Nobara used her technique on the broom.
