Mirai Kakujou (角上未来, Kakujō Mirai) is the younger sister of Youkou Kakujou in the series, Smokin' Parade.
Appearance[]
Mirai is a young 14 year old girl with short hair and wide eyes. When first scene, she is seen wearing a school uniform, with hair clips. Around her neck is her half of the two leaf clover that she and Youkou share. Her legs visibly show the marks from the transplant she received from Ame no Tori. During the 15th Birthday Arc, the leg transplant turns Mirai into a spider. In her original Spider form, the head shap resembles a cartoon bunny mascot.
After turning into a Shikagura, Mirai's outfit changes. Mirai wears a sleevless turtleneck, and lace both on her arms, and over her scars from the transplant. The four leaf clover is now in the form of a hair clip that Mirai keeps in her hair. Additionally, Mirai can change her legs into resembling rabbit legs. While in this form, Mirai's legs allow her to run, jump, and kick with great power.
Before the start of the series, Mirai was wheel chair bound due to a lack of legs.
Personality[]
Before turning into a spider, Mirai was a sweet and slightly air headed girl. While preparing for Youkou's birthday, it was shown that she had two friends from school. While in the form of a spider, Youkou's personality is still sweet, despite her violent tendencies.
As a Shikagura, Mirai is subdued at first, not remembering who she is, or who Youkou is. Once remembering Youkou, elements of her old personality have returned. While Mirai has connected with the other Shikagura, Mirai priorities her brother over Ame no Tori.
History[]
Not much of Mirai's past is known besides the fact that Mirai and Youkou grew up in the same orphanage. In the orphanage, Mirai was bullied by other children, causing Youkou to become her protector.
At some point, Youkou and Mirai were both adopted by Kakujo-san. During this time, Mirai expressed her desire to Youkou to have her own four leaf clover. This lead to the event in which Youkou was gone for three days in order to track the clover down. Instead, Youkou brought back two, two leafed clovers for he and Mirai to both carry.
