Appearances

Devilman TV

She is Akira's childhood friend, and has feelings for him and likes his new tougher persona. She never figures out that Akira has sadly died and is possessed by the demon Devilman, until the end of the anime, where she states that demon or not, she loves Akira. Miki is a sweet girl at times but also has a hair-trigger hot temper, and has a strong dislike for Lala from the way she is always hanging around Akira (which she refuses to admit is jealousy). She has a cameo in Re: Cutey Honey for like a few seconds with Akira Fudo.

Miki is voiced by Sumie Sakai in the TV series who was also Yukiko in Dororon Enma-kun‏‎ and Enma's mom in Ghastly Prince Enma Burning Up‏‎, Beatrice Margiotti in the Italian dub.

Devilman Manga/OVA

She is Akira's childhood friend, who has feelings for him and likes his new tougher persona. She is jealous of Ryo Asuka, thinking Ryo's another girl when Ryo wants Akira to go with him. She gets unholy things done to her by a demon at the beach. Akira uses his powers to make her think it was a dream. Near the end of the manga, Miki and her family are killed by crazed townsfolk who think Miki and her family are demons and her head is put on a pole. When Akira finds this he murders everyone there, and holds her head in his arms in a memorable scene. After her remains are buried she is remembered by Akira and is alive in Violence Jack.

Cameos

• She has a look alike in Re: Cutey Honey OVA 2, for about a second or two with Akira in her 70s anime version.

• In Berserk, Casca is a lot like Miki. Both are tough, no nonsense females who fall for a dark-haired warrior, who winds up not being able to save her from his androgynous ally with godly-like and demonic powers.
• In Yugioh, Tea Gardner/Anzu Mazaki looks and acts kinda similar to Miki, as both are tough with similar hair. They both also share a lover who is possessed by a demon.
