Mikoto

Mikoto

Possibly the weakest of Jyushinshuu and was a member of Kurei's Team Uruha Kurenai along with Noroi, Joker and Kai. Like Genjuro, she shows no initial sign of respect or loyalty for Kurei and would much rather kill him in his sleep. Later on in the series, she met Mokuren, and because of their similar personalities, they "fell in love". She along with Neon are the only two female members of the Jyushinshuu. It is shown that Neon dislikes Mikoto, as shown in Chapter 122, page 11, where she calls Mikoto a 'stupid bitch'. 

Appearance

Mikoto
Mikoto's full appearance.
YoukoTaichouAdded by YoukoTaichou
Mikoto, in the manga and Flame of Recca: Final Burning, has red hair that falls down to her shoulders and blue eyes. She wears garb that would normally be found on kunoichi, and wears sandals.
In the anime, Mikoto has black hair that she wore in two pig tails and gold eyes.

Personality

Mikoto is cruel and has no regard for the lives of other humans, as well as being sadistic, as shown when she mocked Fuko after she'd been poisoned and was near death. She is very cowardly and her only real ability is to tell bare faced lies to her opponents and deception, when on the verge of defeat she begs for mercy and then suddenly attacks in a desperate attempt to win. However, despite being physically weak, she is cunning and will use any opening she sees and exploit it as far as she can. It was likely these very traits that made Kurei select her as a Jyushinshuu in the first place. She is in love with Mokuren Nagai

Part in Story

Ura Butou Satsujin Arc

Mikoto appears in the Ura Butou Satsujin as part of the Uruha Jyushinshuu, and as a member of Kurei's team, Uruha Kurenai (Uruha Scarlet). She only encounters the Hokage team at the tournament's final round, wherein she battles against Fuuko Kirisawa. Fuuko faces Mikoto with thoughts of avenging a little boy's father, who was killed by Mikoto in a previous battle despite his begging to be spared for the sake of his children.
In the end, Mikoto was defeated by Fuuko, but through shooting a dart at the referee's throat to prevent her from declaring Fuuko the winner, Mikoto manages to knock Fuuko down and win due to the fact that Fuuko was unable to stand up before the ten-second countdown ended. Fuuko breaks Mikoto's right arm in a fit of anger and also attempted to break the left, but she is stopped by Domon Ishijima. Mikoto is literally thrown out of the arena by Joker before his fight with Koganei Kaoru begins.
In the anime (as it ended with Ura Butou Satsujin), in an attempt to retrieve her stolen antidote, Mikoto falls off the stage and into the pit below.

Sealed Lands Arc

Mikoto reappears along with Mokuren Nagai in the Sealed Lands Arc as members of the Ura Uruha, an organization founded by Mori Kouran in order to have protection against the Hokage and the remaining Uruha as he searched for the Tendou Jigoku.
In her first appearance in this part of the Flame of Recca storyline, Mikoto disguises herself as a girl who claims to have been kidnapped and molested by Mokuren. She is found by Mikagami Tokiya, who sees through her disguise and manages to avoid her first attack. Mokuren then shows himself, and after an intense battle wherein Mikoto utilizes her second puppet madogu (Shirahige), both Mokuren and Mikoto are defeated. They then cowardly depend on their superior Aoi to finish him off. Later they meet Recca again and say the logic that his friends failed and no way of surviving causing Recca to despair. When Domon shows up and Recca punches Mokuren, they run off.

SODOM Arc

Mikoto appears one last time to aid Mokuren in a battle against Recca Hanabishi and Kukai in the last few volumes of the manga. This time she first uses a tonfa as a weapon, but eventually unleashes her third and final puppet madogu, Ohtobide. Kukai delivers a powerful blow to Ohtobide with Mikoto inside, destroying the puppet and injuring Mikoto. She then pleads with Mokuren to give up and run away with her, but he tells her that she has no right to interfere with his life and stabs her. After Mokuren loses he stays with her, blaming her for keeping him there, rather than escaping. She is presumed dead with Mokuren as exits to the dome were blocked as it collapsed.

Abilities

Her physical abilities pale in comparison to her fellow Uruha, so she depends on dirty, yet very clever and cunning tactics. In special abilities, She uses a number of madogu throughout the series: the three large puppet madogu that she could hide in (Mikoto, Shirahige, and Ohtobide), and Dokumashin (a set of sharp claws that contain a combination of all the most lethal poisons in the world) to equip with those puppets. Mikoto was a Noh puppet that seemed to be a person till revealed and talked more sophisticated than normal, it wore the Dokumashin. The second, Shirahige, was an old bearded man puppet that Tokiya easily destroyed. The final, Otobide, was another old man puppet with four arms. She also carries Dokumashin's antidote, Gedokugan with her, in case she poison herself.
