Miho (Sin City)

Miho is a major character in the Sin City franchise by Frank Miller. She is a ninja assassin who acts as a guardian and enforcer for Old Town, a part of Sin City ruled by prostitutes who take justice in their own hands while maintaining a truce with the police. She is also an ally to Dwight McCarthy, to whom she owes a debt of honor for saving her life in the past, serving as a supporting character in the stories that feature Dwight as the protagonist.
In the film she was portrayed by Devon Aoki, who also played Kasumi in the live action film version of Dead or Alive. Because Devon Aoki couldn't reprise her role in the sequel due to her pregnancy, Miho was recasted and played by Jamie Chung, who also voiced Gogo Tomago in Big Hero 6.
== Appearance ==
Miho is an Asian young woman (presumably of Japanese heritage) of relatively short height as evident from her nickname. She uses her size to her advantage in combat, allowing her to outmaneuver vastly larger foes and quickly go for the kill when they make the mistake of looking down on her. She is known to remain stoic at all times, with a blank expression and a glare that can intimidate friends and foes alike.

=== A Dame to Kill for ===
When Dwight was taken to Old Town to save his life after being betrayed and almost killed by Ava Lord, Miho is first seen along with the twins Goldie and Wendy, the two leaders of the Old Town girls. Seeing that Dwight has begun to recover, the twins try to force him to leave Old Town under the threat of being cut down by Miho but he refuses, planning to enlist their help in order to get revenge against Ava.
Before Miho follows on their threat, it is revealed to her by fellow Old Town girl and Dwight's former lover Gail that long time ago Dwight saved her life when she was fighting against a group of Asian gangsters by gunning down her remaining enemies before they could shoot her. Realizing that she in fact owes Dwight the favor, Miho steps down and agrees to help him. Seeing their fiercest protector take Dwight's side, the other girls agree to join him in his quest for vengeance, also becoming enemies to Ava.
Miho is later seen playing a crucial role in the final stage of Dwight's revenge against Ava, helping him by taking out all the armed guards just in time to save Dwight and pin down his nemesis Manute by putting a pair of blades through his hands. Miho is finally seen standing by Dwight and Gail after the former fatally shoots Ava for trying to fool him one last time. Dwight states that they will be on the run, just ahead of the cops as he and the Old Town girls leave the crime scene.
=== The Big Fat Kill ===
Miho is reintroduced when Dwight follows Jackie Boy and his friends to Old Town hoping to catch them before they do something dangerous. Dwight runs into Gail who assures him that the Old Town girls can fight for themselves just fine, seeing as Miho is around keeping a watch on the intruders. They both bear witness as Jackie Boy pulls a gun on one of the local girls Becky for turning down his advances, only to be greeted by a murderous Miho who makes short work of his friends before moving on to mutilate Jackie Boy himself. She toys with him for a while, with Dwight trying to talk him down before he gets himself killed but in his blind rage Jackie Boy tries to shoot him, not knowing that Miho just rigged his pistol with one of her projectiles. As a result the gun backfires, fatally nailing Jackie Boy in the head. Miho then slashes his neck open, finishing him off.
Trouble arises when Dwight discovers a police badge while looting Jackie Boy's corpse, confirming his biggest worries. Realizing that Jackie Boy was in fact Jack Rafferty, a condecorated cop with standing in the department, the girls of Old Town begin to fear the consequences of his death, as it would damage the truce they had with the police, leaving them at the mercy of the mafia who still have a vendetta against them.
Dwight volunteers to ditch the corpses in a tar pit in the outskirts of the city so they can get rid of the evidence. Gail and the girls comply, providing Dwight with a car while Miho slashes the corpses into pieces so he can better fit them, but they are unaware that their friend Becky sold them out to the mafia, tipping them off about the massacre and Dwight's plan. Gail is subsequently kidnapped by Dwight's old nemesis Manute, who now works as an enforcer for the mafia.
Upon arriving at the pit Dwight is found and almost killed by a group of Irish mercenaries hired by the mafia to retrieve Jackie Boy's corpse. Dwight manages to fight them off briefly but is overwhelmed by their explosives, falling into the pit while the remaining mercenaries cut off Jackie Boy's head to deliver it as proof.
Miho arrives with her driver Dallas just in time to save Dwight from drowning in the tar. The three head off to stop the mercenaries, engaging in a fierce car chase, but Dallas is gunned down, leaving Dwight and Miho to take out her killers. The mercenaries put up quite a fight through their use of explosives, forcing Dwight to chase the last one of them down a sewer when he tries to run off with the head. Dwight nearly falls into a death trap but is once again saved by Miho as she kills the last mercenary and retrieves Jackie Boy's head.
Stealing a radio from the Irishmen, Dwight makes contact with Manute and learns of Gail's kidnapping. He proposes a trade-off, the head in exchange for Gail's life.
Miho later goes to call upon Manute and his men, shooting an arrow with a message through Manute's henchman Stuka to call their attention and confirm the deal. After luring them out for the meeting and confirming that Gail is safe, Dwight delivers Jackie Boy's head as agreed. After letting Gail go back to Dwight, Manute goes back on his word and tries to have them shot on the spot but Dwight draws a detonator, revealing he took the remaining explosives used by the Irishmen and stuffed them in Jackie Boy's head. 
With the push of a button the head explodes, throwing Manute and his men off their feet, followed by a group of armed Old Town girls revealing themselves on the rooftops as part of Dwight's plan. Together with their superior firepower and strategic advantage, Dwight and the girls manage to kill every single one of Manute's men and Manute himself, sending a message to the Wallenquist organization to never again mess with Old Town.
