Summary
Gin Minowa is one of the three main characters of the anime and light novel Washio Sumi is a Hero, which serves as a prequel to the first season of Yuki Yuna is a Hero.
Gin is optimistic and cheerful, as well as energetic and strong-willed. She likes sports and often spends recess playing in schoolyard. At the time of the story taking place, she's a 6th-year elementary school student chosen by Taisha to fight Vertex as a Hero, along with Nogi Sonoko and Washio Sumi. Although not knowing each other well at first, Gin soon became friend with the two girls and they fought together to protect the world from the Vertex, evil creatures created by the Heavenly Gods to destroy humanity.
During the fourth battle with Vertex, the girls got seriously injured by Scorpio's Vertex tail strike. Gin was the only one who was still able to fight and decided to defeat the Scorpio Vertex, the Cancer Vertex and the Sagittarius Vertex by herself. She was able to defeat the three Vertex at the cost of her life, thus saving her friends and the whole world.
After her death, Taisha decided to modify the first Hero system in a way that could give the Heroes more power, implementing Mankai and fairies to help them and prevent them from ever dying.

Feats
- Was able to defeat the Scorpio Vertex, the Sagittarius Vertex and the Cancer Vertex by herself at the cost of her own life. The Scorpio Vertex alone was able to take hits from Yuna Takashima's Ichimokure, which is as strong as thousands of nuclear weapons, without a single scratch. The Scorpio Vertex is at least comparable to Yuna Takashima's Shouten Douji, a 50 teratons move, and was barely scratched by first generation heroes Trump Cards, which are much more powerful than Yuna's Ichimokure.
- Was able to cut though the Scorpio Vertex's tail and deflect the Cancer Vertex's tail strike.
- Cut the Capricorn Vertex to pieces.
- Smashed through the top of the Libra Vertex.
- Cut the Aquarius Vertex to pieces, whom was able to tank Sumi's arrows. Those arrows are comparable to modern-day missiles.
- Destroyed a van before whirling around fast enough to catch the parts of the van in a cyclone.
