Rainbow Mika (Japanese: レインボー ミカ, Hepburn: Reinbō Mika), commonly shortened to R. Mika, is the professional wrestling moniker of Mika Nanakawa (七川 美華, Nanakawa Mika), a character in Capcom's Street Fighter fighting game series. First appearing in Street Fighter Alpha 3 in 1998 as a wrestler trying to make a name for herself, Mika was designed by Akira "Akiman" Yasuda with the help of artist Daigo Ikeno. The character has since appeared in comics related to the Street Fighter franchise and other titles by Capcom. In 2016, Mika returned in Street Fighter V with a redesigned appearance by Toshiyuki Kamei, now a mainline wrestler with a tag team partner. Originally voiced by Junko Takeuchi, as of Street Fighter V she was voiced by Bonnie Gordon and Hiromi Igarashi in English and Japanese respectively.
R. Mika has received mixed critical reception since her introduction, with a significant focus being on her appearance and discussions on character sexualization. While several outlets were critical of her design, others noted it was suitable for her wrestling character, and in particular The Mary Sue utilized her in a discussion contrasting sexualized versus empowered in regards to the differences between her game and comic counterparts. The character was also the source of some controversy when one of her attacks in Street Fighter V was seemingly censored, with several outlets questioning the validity of the controversy.
