Mikuro

**Mikuro**  (ミクロ) is a young Shikagura in the series, Smokin' Parade.

## Appearance

Mikuro is a young boy with a bowl cut hair style. He has wide eyes that appear innocent until he succumbs to his sadistic tendencies. Like the other Shikagura, Mikuro has six dots on his forehead.

## Personality

When first introduced, Mikuro appeared to be an innocent boy. In actuality, Mikuro is a sadist who enjoys torturing people that he calls his toys. Mikuro is possessive of whom he considers his toys, and he is willing to kill anyone who interferes. Despite his claims of not caring about Midari's view on him, Mikuro does question why he blind folded Midari as he tortured her.

Mikuro seems to get along well with his fell Shikagura. He is close to Fury.

## History

Mikuro grew up with his abusive father. Mikuro and his father grew up sharing the same hereditary liver disease. After his father received a transplant, Mikuro's father started to drink and abuse him more.

One day while Mikuro was scavenging through the garbage, Midari came across him. Midari mentions sensing a spider in the area for the past couple days, however she had been unable to find it. Midari eventually approaches the home of Mikuro, where she discovers that Mikuro had been torturing his spider turned father for an extensive number of days. After Midari kills his father, Mikuro angrily confronts Midari in tears. Midari attempts to comfort Mikuro, however he already had begone to transform into a spider himself. Midari attempts to finish off Mikuro, however she cannot bring herself to kill him.

Mikuro wakes up in the lab where Kurama is experimenting on the other potential Shikagura. Here, Mikuro meets Fury, who prominently names him "Mikuro", due to the blood coming out of him "looking like a third leg". At this time he also meets Majima and Gagara.

## Plot

### Shikagura Arc

Mikuro is first introduced along side his fellow Shikagura as Mirai Kakujou kills reporter Ritsuko Yamaga. Next, he and the Shikagura hire a gang in an attempt to gain information on the Jackalopes. After failing, Mikuro and the rest of the Shikagura kill the gang.

Mikuro leads the first skirmish against the Jackalopes. Mikuro sends Fury out on the field, disguised as a child, in order to remind Midari of her and Mikuro's repressed passed. Mikuro also sets a trap for Akuta to be ambushed by Gagara. Mikuro attempts to engage the Jackalopes in a second skirmish, only to be stopped by Shiba. After this encounter, Mikuro becomes hellbent on killing Shiba.

During the raid of the Ame no Tori facility tower, Mikuro is confronted by Shiba. Shiba attempts to make a deal with Mikuro, threatening to destroy the Shikagura maintenance facilities, only for Mikuro to reveal that the Skiagura had been lying the entire time. Mikuro gives Shiba the ultimatum of either killing him or saving his comrades.

After Fury's defeat and the destruction of the facility, both the Jackalopes and Ame no Tori are told to stay away from one another. Despite this, Mikuro decides to keep Midari, whom he kidnapped during the raid. Mikuro spends his time breaking Midari's fingers and knuckles while taunting her with the death of Shiba and her comrades.

Originally Mikuro taunts Matsugo when he arrives to save Midari, only to fly into a rage when Matsugo proves to be a legitimate opponent. Both Matsugo and Youkou fight against Mikuro before Midari apologizes for being unable to save him, kicking him through a wall.

Mikuro, still alive, attempts to kill Youkou, only to finally be killed with the team work of Youkou and Mirai. As Mikuro dies, he's glad that Midari didn't see how ugly he was.
