Mika Nanakawa, popularly known under her stage name Rainbow Mika or R. Mika, is one of the playable characters from Street Fighter. She first appeared in Street Fighter Alpha 2.

Bio[edit | edit source]

A professional wrestler from the Iwashigahama Japan Women's Pro Wrestling organization, Mika's combat style is as much about actual fighting as it is about the resulting show. Gifted with a bright and energetic spirit, she has planned to become a professional wrestler ever since the first finished junior high. Her young age and newcomer status means Mika's performance still has quite some room for improvement, but being the type to go all out when it comes to training (and eating, and pretty much everything else, really), she certainly has a fair chance to realize her dream.

Mika is a great fan of the Russian wrestler Zangief and fervently studies his fighting philosophy. While she can not rely on the raw size and mass employed by her idol and most other grappler-style characters in Street Fighter, her wiry body still holds a surprising amount of muscle - one that she can also move at impressive speeds as she throws her opponents around the room.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

R. Mika first appeared in 8chanmania III, although no further information beyond her not getting a belt is available.

Her first recorded match only came two years later, during 8chanmania LXXIX. With Zangief serving as her manager, the up-and-coming wrestling girl took down the Reanimated Road Runner, but stood no chance after being pinned by Pinsem one round later.


Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Mika's relatively revealing costume was a major source of butthurt from the usual suspects when she was first revealed. The developers took this into consideration and increased her chest size for the next game.
