Personal Information
Physical Description
Claudia Kishi is a second-generation Japanese American who is five feet and four inches tall. She has long silky, jet-black hair, dark eyes, and creamy skin. She has never had pimples. She looks like Mimi Yamamoto she was twelve and mentioned she's a seven in shoe sizes in Stacey and the Missing Ring.
Clothing/Style
Claudia styles her hair different almost every day, depending on what she's wearing and has pierced ears with two piercings in her right ear. She likes to wear makeup and likes to wear exotic outfits, in which she can throw together in a minute. She once went to school with glitter in her hair and is dedicated to never wearing the same exact outfit twice (even if it means only wearing different earrings). Her favorite art outfit is: black jeans, a giant bright blue t-shirt, and a snake bracelet worn about her elbow. Claudia wears a lot of jewelry that she made and loves to shop at consignment shops and mix and match outfits.
Personality Traits
Claudia is outgoing with lots of friends, as well as being fashion-conscious and dresses in the latest trendy clothes and high fashions. Claudia loves junk food and munches it more when she's stressed, though she isn't really supposed to be eating any. She is not a morning person and likes to sleep late. Claudia is generally grumpy at the beginning of the week and must buy her own clothes. To her, the most ordinary thing can be an object of art.
She thinks that school is competitive and that nobody really cares about art in Stacey's Movie.
In Baby-sitters' Island Adventure Claudia is shown to react well in an emergency. She figures out a way to collect rainwater and how to attract attention so they could get off Nine O'Clock Island.
Abilities
Claudia can't spell to save her life. She is also not very talented at singing. She's not a fast reader unless she's rereading a Nancy Drew book. She can understand some Japanese but can't really speak it. Claudia is practically a champion skier, she has her own equipment in Baby-sitters' Winter Vacation. She is also a good sailor in Baby-sitters' Island Adventure.
Relationship With Family
- Janine Kishi - Janine and Claudia are so different that it can be hard to believe they're sisters. While they love each other, they often argue. However they have had some nice, heartfelt moments, such as in Claudia and Mean Janine where Janine revealed that she was jealous of Claudia because she was social and had friends, and in Claudia and the Middle School Mystery when Janine has a nice chat with Claudia and offers to help. Claudia is sometimes jealous of Janine because she was always receiving awards and bringing home awesome report cards. Claudia wishes she could make her parents proud like that. Author Ann M. Martin revealed that she based Janine and Claudia's relationship on the relationship that Ann had with her own sister, Jane, growing up, with Ann in Janine's role and Jane in Claudia's role.
- Mimi Yamamoto - Mimi and Claudia were close. Claudia painted several portraits of Mimi because she loved her grandmother. She felt that Mimi was the only one who understood her in her family and that she even understood her better than her friends in The Baby-Sitters Club. Claudia went to Mimi for advice and knew that Mimi would comfort her when she was upset. Claudia and Mimi shared 'special tea' together, and Mimi helped Claudia with her homework. Mimi calls Claudia "my Claudia." She is very close to Mimi throughout the series, until her death in Book #26 Claudia and the Sad Goodbye. Claudia often mentions Mimi in the books she narrates, and so do the other club members in the books they narrate. To see more of the relationship between Mimi and Claudia, she allows her self to do anything she wants until Mimi her grandmother died in book 26 Claudia and the Sad Good-bye. Mimi always told Claudia that she gets to do anything as long as she does it correctly. Claudia and Mimi were very close, as seen in Claudia and Mean Janine. Mimi always had a nice way of explaining things, being Claudia and Janine's grandmother. Claudia liked when Mimi called her 'My Claudia' because she was the only one in the family being called by that name.
Mimi liked Claudia's style, as seen in Kristy's Great Idea.
Childhood Experiences
Claudia was born on July 11th in Stoneybrook, Connecticut at 4:36 A.M. It is not known which hospital she was born. At birth, Claudia was 7 lbs, 7 oz. Her birth announcement was in the Stoneybrook Gazette. Mimi Yamamoto mentioned that Claudia's hair stood straight up when she was a baby.
Cokie Mason, Alan Gray, Pete Black, Mary Anne Spier, and Kristy Thomas were in her kindergarten class. Only Kristy and Mary Anne came to her sixth birthday party. Russ and Peaches Benedict used to live in Stoneybrook and would take her to the park. On Claudia's eighth birthday Mimi dressed up in a kimono to take her family to a Japanese restaurant but it was closed so they ended up at a sleazy pizza joint.
She stopped dressing up her stuffed animals in third grade and started wearing makeup in the beginning of seventh grade. She still has a rag doll named Lennie with yarn braids. Claudia is sent to the Stamford Alternative Academy for part of the fourth grade but is allowed to return to SES after her parents see she's miserable.
In Mind Your Own Business, Kristy!, Kristy mentions that one time when they were little Claudia took a stack of twenty-dollar bills from her dad's night table and flushed them down the toilet one by one. Her dad caught her and he blew up at her.
In the fifth grade she had class with Kristy Thomas and Mary Anne Spier.
When she was around four her nickname was Dodee-a in Claudia and the Lighthouse Ghost.
Room
Claudia hangs a single-framed picture of her and Mimi at about the same age over her desk. The walls of her room are covered with her art. She stashes snacks in her bedroom, which is always messy. A hollow book is her best hiding place. She jokes if her room ever caught fire, it would turn into one huge s'more because of all her snacks. Claudia painted little stars and moons on her ceiling, as well as a purple polka dot cow jumping over a silver moon. A clock is on her desk. She is the only member with her own phone with a private line. She has a dressing table mirror.
In Claudia and the Terrible Truth, Claudia notes that her room has an overstuffed bookshelf, art on the walls, and a collection of sea glass found on the beach.

Medical
Claudia had the chickenpox when she was seven. She couldn't go to the circus because of it. She breaks her leg in Claudia and the Bad Joke. The cast was decorated without a white patch on it. She has pain in it now and again, especially if rain is on the way. Claudia has type O blood type mentioned in Logan's Story.
Jobs
In Mary Anne and the Playground Fight she interviews for the Stoneybrook Elementary School Summer Playground. She works as a counselor at the camp in Baby-sitters' European Vacation with her friends and Janine.
By Claudia and the Disaster Date, Claudia works at the library during the summer with Erica Blumberg in the children's department.
Baby-Sitting and Club Experience
General
Claudia can sit until 9:30 on school nights. Money from her sitting jobs goes to art supplies first, then jewelry, and accessories. She hasn't saved much. Her parents have threatened to make her quit the BSC if it takes too much time from her studies.
Clients
She wears jeans whenever she sits for the Rodowsky Family. She likes babysitting for them because Mrs. Rodowsky always has something not considered healthy to eat. Jamie Newton calls her "Claudee." She sat for a three-year-old named Skip in New Hampshire. Is Rosie Wilder's favorite sitter. Claudia decides to stay in the club if she never has to sit for Betsy Sobak. She sits for the Hill Family and likes Sarah because she's artistic. She helps Shea Rodowsky with homework and he helps her.
While Claudia isn't nearly as close to Charlotte Johanssen as Stacey is, Claudia and Charlotte formed a bond in book #15 Little Miss Stoneybrook...and Dawn, when Stacey temporarily moved back to New York City two books before, and Charlotte knew that Claudia and Stacey were best friends and therefore felt a connection to Claudia. She became Charlotte's new favorite baby sitter until Stacey returned in Book #28 Welcome Back, Stacey!. Claudia helped Charlotte prepare for the Little Miss Stoneybrook beauty pageant in Little Miss Stoneybrook...and Dawn. Since Charlotte is shy, she ended up leaving the stage in tears and went home. Later, Charlotte and Claudia went to Claudia's house to call Stacey in New York.
The Baby-Sitters Club
Claudia is the vice president of The Baby-Sitters Club because she's the only member with a private phone line and an unlimited amount of snacks. The meetings are held in Claudia's messy bedroom in the Kishi household. Claudia provides the snacks. Since some clients forget when the meeting times are and call during times when they're not meeting, Claudia has to handle those calls. She has to write down the information, like how many kids, where the parents will be, and other important information, call all the BSC members to find out who's free to take the job, and then call the person back to tell them who the baby sitter or sitters (if there are more than four kids) will be. Claudia usually arrives at meetings on time, since they're in her own house.
Claudia almost quit The Baby-Sitters Club in Claudia and the New Girl when her new friend, Ashley Wyeth, encouraged her to drop babysitting to make time for her art because she was very talented and shouldn't waste time on anything else. She almost quit The Baby-Sitters Club again in Claudia and the Bad Joke when she babysat for a practical joker who played a joke that went too far and resulted in Claudia breaking her leg. She is sometimes forgetful, as she sometimes took jobs for herself, without even checking if anyone else was available for the job. In fact, that led to a fight in Mary Anne Saves the Day, between Stacey, Kristy, Mary Anne, and Claudia that lasted for months.
School Related Experiences
General
Claudia is in the eighth grade at Stoneybrook Middle School. She takes remedial math and a help session in the resource room. Mrs. Hall is Claudia's English teacher. She gets bored at school but gets to bored at home after she breaks her leg she wants to go to school.

Claudia can not stand science. Ms. Bernhardt is her social studies teacher.
It was revealed in Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls that just like Janine, Claudia also has an above-average IQ, which Claudia's family and teachers find surprising. If she gets all of her homework done every night, she can continue to take her art classes and stay in The Baby-Sitters Club. Claudia's parents receive approximately two letters in the mail each year about how she should be working harder in school. She doesn't want to compete with Janine because she thinks she'll never live up to her. Claudia finds her schoolwork boring and can barely concentrate on it. Claudia's parents and teachers come down so hard on her because they know she can do better in school, what with her above-average IQ. Janine has a genius IQ, and Claudia's parents and teachers expect her to get the same high grades, which she can't do, often telling them she's an artist, not a scholar.

She once earned a 94 on a math test. Mrs. Hall tells Claudia that she's in danger of failing unless she improves her spelling. Stacey McGill and Shea Rodowsky tutors her. She says she doesn't mind the resource room. Her handwriting is easily the messiest of the BSC. It has many loops and squiggles.

She often calls Stacey "Stace." Claudia grew up with Mary Anne Spier and Kristy Thomas because Kristy and Mary Anne lived next door to each other, and they lived across the street from Claudia on Bradford Court until Kristy moved to McLelland Road in Kristy's Big Day, and Mary Anne moved to Burnt Hill Road in Dawn's Wicked Stepsister. They knew each other since they were in diapers, and their families were friends.

He must be a good speller, uncritical, and crazy about her. She doesn't care if he's Japanese-American like her but should not have tattoos.
