Appearance[]

Game[]

Mika is displayed as a middle school girl with shoulder-length brown hair that has bangs hanging over her forehead and big dark-colored eyes.

She usually wears a school uniform in the games.

Novel[]

Unlike Mika's original style in the game, her hair is no longer down as it is now butt-length where it is tied in a high ponytail and her bust is a bit bigger than Anna's chest despite her young age (which is currently unknown along with the other students). She is described as "the prettiest girl in town," and "Doesn't look like a middle schooler but looks like a high schooler."

She wears a pink/magenta blouse, or what looks like a camisole edged with lacing and tied with string /an undershirt that’s frizzly, a white coat with a bow tied to the back with pink sleeves, hood and white, fluffy/completely pink pockets which she usually carries a small pink plush kitty in one of the pockets, jean shorts, long black stockings, and small brown heeled boots. In the Anthology, Vengeance, and Mutation she also wears a white scrunchie. (see gallery for reference)

Personality[]

Mika is the only female character present in the games (Anna has only appeared in the novels and the film). In most versions, Mika is usually found in the kid's bedroom where she stays for most of the game and she is commonly accepted as Takuro’s girlfriend. In subsequent versions, however, Mika will usually mention him and refuse to leave without him, in which she only cares for Takuro's safety for she loves him a lot. It is theorized by some that she does not like Hiroshi, even though he's her friend and she may also be hinted to be a bit stubborn around others but Takuro. It seems she is quite closed to Anna prior to the original story and more in Fragments that she tells Anna everything and is more hesitant to tell anyone else about.

Roles[]

NOTE: This section may include spoilers to the game, movie and novel.
Mika is a non-playable character and one of the main protagonists, who has almost no role in the game other than being the first to be killed by the Oni in Version 6.

Ao Oni (Games)[]

Version 1.1[]

In her debut, Mika is named Megumi who seems to be Takuro's girlfriend as well as a member of his gang. In the second-floor bedroom Hiroshi first finds her in, she has set up a dresser barricade and this is what helps her survive to the end.

Version 3.0[]

Mika is first found in the second-floor bedroom. Later, she is found with Takuro and Takeshi in one of the rooms of the basement, they all soon flee after the Oni enters the room. Mika is found again with Takeshi in a dungeon and will not come out until Hiroshi finds an exit. Once Hiroshi finds the rope ladder deep inside a cave, both of them then accompany him. Afterward, they see the Oni eating the ladder. Hiroshi and Mika flee while Takeshi trips and he is killed. Mika is found again being pounded and killed by a massive Oni in a room in the mansion.

Version 5.2[]

Mika is found in the kid's bedroom hiding behind a bed and she will refuse to leave the mansion without Takuro. Mika does not leave this location for the remainder of the game, although Hiroshi can return at the end of the game to rescue her, she is not shown in the epilogue and she is not mentioned again.

Version 6.23[]

Mika-dead — Hiroshi discovers the Oni killing Mika.

Mika is the first to die where she dies right as Hiroshi is about to enter the basement. There is a scream from upstairs and as Hiroshi enters the room Mika was in, he sees the Oni eating her. Later on, Hiroshi will encounter Mika in the basement for a few seconds where she then morphs into Mika Oni and pursues Hiroshi.

Ao Oni (Novel)[]

Mika is a girl who harbors goodwill toward Takuro where her mind is strong and though she acts out rashly. Mika does, however, have a rather lonely side to her but is far from becoming domesticated. Mika is also surprisingly quick on her feet.

Mentioned in Novel 1, she didn’t like that her parents were ignoring her and thought if she broke into the jailhouse and went to jail, maybe it could get her parent’s attention. But in the end, she realized that it was her fault that she was the one pushing them away because she had always been so rebellious.

Mika has a Persian cat named Heart, she and Heart got very close because she was the only one who cared about Heart because her parents wouldn’t.

in Novel 1 also, it mentions that she used to be on the track team and that when she won, her parents were happy and (her being on the track team) was the reason she tried to buy time by distracting (outrunning) the Oni in novel 1.

For the 2nd in the bonus manga at the beginning (this had no effect on the real story), Mika refuses to go with Hiroshi and she is then chased by the Oni. She breaks her leg and becomes unable to flee from the Oni. She either sees or hallucinates Takuro being there looking for her but in fact she knew it was the opposite. Tears in her eyes, she accepts the fact that she is dead and with a smile, she admitted that she knew that Takuro wouldn’t come save her “after everything that happened” and then gets "killed". Alas she thought that Takuro treated her specially. Via being the only person being shown his true emotions too.

It seems that she and Anna don’t like each other that much.

Ao Oni (Movie)[]

Mika makes an appearance in the live-action movie adaptation, where she is portrayed by Seika Furuhata. She is seen waiting for Takuro (Mika's boyfriend) outside the jailhouse with Takeshi and when Takuro and the others arrive they all enter the building, upon entering Mika follows Takuro down to the Annex and stays with him for a short time before leaving to find the others. Mika spots Anna whom is questioned by her presence but Hiroshi calms her down and welcomes Anna to their group, Mika then grows angry with Takeshi of why he won't leave the closet when Takeshi is killed she vomits at the sight of the remains and goes to warn Takuro who shrugs it off and laughs. Mika then seduces Takuro and steal the keys and tries to exit the jailhouse herself, she finds it won't open and she tries to hide hence the growls that are being heard she then starts to cry hoping the Oni doesn't catch her, but when she looks up the Oni's face is seen smiling before attacking and brutally murdering her. After a chase, Anna and Shun plus Hiroshi soon discover Mika's mutilated body and they are grief-stricken by the sight.

Ao Oni Version 1.1[]

The name Megumi is written in katakana (メグミ), which has no special meaning. However, when written in kanji (恵 or 愛), it could possibly mean:
- 恵 - "favor, benefit".
- 愛 - "love, affection".

Trivia[]

While being chased in Versions 3.0, 5.2 and 6.23, the player can bring the Oni into the kid's bedroom Mika is hiding in.
- In Versions 3.0 and 5.2, this gives the player a game over as Hiroshi will automatically go in front of Mika in an attempt to protect her from the Oni, which results in his death.
In Version 6.23, however, the player maintains control of Hiroshi. The chase ends as you leave the bedroom, going back into that room shows that Mika has been killed. The Oni also vanishes from the bedroom without going out the only exit. This will not prompt the scream as you enter the basement and the Oni will not be seen eating Mika.
Mika's in-game sprite is modeled after the "002-Fighter02" default sprite in RPG Maker XP.
The game never makes it clear if Mika's hair is long or short as the fans always change her hairstyle.
In the novel however, her hair is longer than her sprite's.
Mika was the first female character in the Ao Oni series with Anna being the second.
Despite Mika's blue outfit, her pink shirt is orange and her skirt is a quilt color in the novel.
Ironically, in the main games (Ao Oni 1 through 3), Mika is always the first character to die during the gameplay while Takuro always being last.
In Fragments, every summer Mika seems to have the "blackest tan" out of everyone else.
Takuro and Mika were childhood friends and both seem to be good at sports so they were competitive with each other.
