Mika Kuromine

Name: Mika Kuromine

Gender: Female

Age: 14

Birthday: December 5

Blood Type: B

Hair: Long black hair

Affiliation: Camelot Academy (from middle school)

Mika has long black hair and gives off an eerie, almost ghost-like aura that intimidates those around her.

Despite this frightening impression, she is serious, mentally strong, and widely regarded as a beautiful girl.

Her strong will and earnest nature attract the admiration of several characters, including Daichi Arai and Hidemi Kanazono.

People who get past their fear of her presence often respect her as both a player and a person.

Mika is a childhood friend of Kai Todoin, and their connection runs deep from an early age.

Although their paths diverge and cross in the competitive world of golf, they remain important to each other.

It is revealed that several years later she marries Kai Todoin, formalizing their long-standing bond.

During her school days, Daichi Arai and Hidemi Kanazono both develop feelings for her.

She is also a devoted fan of Kiria Nishino.

Mika especially sympathizes with Kiria’s relentless, “venomous snake-like” style of play, which mirrors her own intense approach on the green.

Because her time at Camelot Academy does not overlap with Daichi Arai’s, it is implied that Mika entered Camelot starting from middle school.

Her school life and golf career are closely tied to Camelot’s competitive environment.

Mika specializes in putting and possesses a unique “gift” that allows her to see putting lines.

Her style is described as snake-like, distinct from that of Lancelot Norman yet equally formidable.

Originally, her gift allowed her to see multiple possible putting lines at once.

This ability made her extremely sensitive to subtle slopes but also revealed her own hesitation and doubt.

After facing Lancelot Norman in a putting match, he points out that seeing many lines reflects the amount of uncertainty in her mind.

Taking this to heart, Mika trains hard during the Camelot Cup period.

Through this intense practice, her gift evolves so that she can see only a single, definitive line, just like Lancelot.

This evolution marks a major step in her mental growth and in her confidence as a golfer.

Her putting talent is so extraordinary that she was originally slated to compete in the Camelot Cup.

However, after losing the putting match to the newly transferred Lancelot Norman, she yields her Camelot Cup spot to him.

Mika’s raw numbers highlight just how strong she is as a competitor.

They also reinforce why so many characters respect her skills, even when she is not the one in the spotlight.

Average driver distance: 220 yards

Average putts per hole: 1.2

Best score: 4 under par

These stats show a balanced player with solid distance off the tee and elite-level putting ability.

Her low average putts especially underscore why her gift on the green is feared.

Within Rising Impact, Mika serves as both a rival and a stepping stone for characters like Lancelot Norman.

By losing to him and giving up her place in the Camelot Cup, she indirectly supports his growth and the progression of the story.

At the same time, her own evolution—from a girl overwhelmed by multiple putting lines to a golfer who sees only one true line—adds depth to the series’ exploration of mental strength.

Her admiration for Kiria Nishino and eventual marriage to Kai Todoin further tie her into the emotional and relational web of the story.

Mika Kuromine is modeled after a real person who worked as assistant to the original author Nakaba Suzuki at the time.

This assistant, referred to as Ms. Kuromine (a placeholder name), later became Nakaba Suzuki’s wife.

Because of this real-life inspiration, Mika carries an extra layer of affection and intention from the author.

Her design as a stoic, beautiful, and quietly passionate golfer reflects that special origin.
