Mikoto Misaka (Japanese: 御坂 美琴, Hepburn: Misaka Mikoto) is a fictional character created by Kazuma Kamachi and first illustrated by Kiyotaka Haimura. She is a major character in the A Certain Magical Index light novel series and the main protagonist of its manga spin-off series A Certain Scientific Railgun. As an Academy City Resident, Mikoto is one of the most powerful espers in the city, ranking at Level 5 and possessing powers associated with electricity. Despite this, her personality comes off as brash, short-tempered, and often has a rough relationship with her younger friend Kuroko Shirai, though they do tend to get along at times. Though she appears as a major character in Magical Index, she plays a much larger role in the spin-off Scientific Railgun. Mikoto's character was written as a means to showcase the social hierarchy of the world, as well as the power of the main character. In early stages of development, Mikoto was originally going to have long hair, something in which would apply to the titular character later on. There were also plans for her hair to act as a semiconductor to enable her railgun ability, but this idea was scrapped. She has been praised by both fans and critics alike for her personality and relationships with other characters of the series. Many pieces of merchandise have also been made using the character's likeness.
