Mika Jiro (耳 (じ) 郎 (ろう) 美 (み) 香 (か) , Jirō Mika?) is the wife of Kyotoku Jiro and the mother of Kyoka Jiro.
Mika is a slender woman who wears glasses with black frames. Her hair is straight, short, and dark purple in color, with bangs that fall to the right side of her face. In every instance where she has made an appearance thus far, she is shown wearing a collared shell top, a pencil skirt, and tights.
Like her daughter, Mika has plug-like earlobes.
Mika is a kind-hearted and encouraging mother, as she understood along with her husband when their daughter, Kyoka, stated that she wanted be a Hero rather than a musician like them. She understood that choosing a career path is a big decision and also told Kyoka that she can help others, both as a hero and with her music.
At some point, Kyotoku fell in love with Mika's musical talent, which led to them getting married and have a daughter named Kyoka Jiro.
Kyotoku and Mika's love for music was inherited by Kyoka who started playing instruments at a young age. Believing that her parents' desire was for her to follow their footsteps and become a musician, Kyoka was apologetic when she confessed that she wanted to be a hero. However, Kyotoku and Mika dismissed her apologies and expressed their support for Kyoka to pursue her dreams.
Hideout Raid Arc
Mika is first seen alongside Kyotoku when he was confronting Shota Aizawa and All Might over their request to take Kyoka to live in U.A. High School; however, Kyoka showed up and revealed that her father had already decided in advance to let her go. When they started bickering, Mika told both to calm down.
Quirk
Earphone Jack (イヤホンジャック, Iyahon Jakku?): Mika's Quirk gives her a pair of headphone jacks hanging from her earlobes. Assuming that her Quirk is the same as her daughter's, she can plug the jacks into objects and channel the sound of her heartbeat into them in the form of a super violent vibration. She would also be able to extend her earlobes several meters.
•Kyoka's name is composed by two syllables coming from each of her parents' names. In Mika's case, it's "香" (Ka).
•The surname, "Jiro", is actually from Mika's side of the family. It is not uncommon for the husband to take his wife's surname in real-life Japan.
•Mika's favorite thing is punk music.
•Mika also shares her birthday with Fourth Kind.
•Mika shares her Japanese and English voice actresses with other characters.
•Her Japanese voice actress, Akeno Watanabe, also voices Midnight and Izuku as a child.
So... this is about Jiro, specifically about how Horikoshi treated her during this arc. Those who know probably have an idea what this is about and those who don't... what are you doing here? This is SPOILER territory, get out of here! This is your last warning.
- 1 Her Mid-Term Grades. Just like everything else about her, Kyoka Jiro's midterm grades have been decent, if anything. According to the official date that we have on her, Jiro placed 7th in Class 1-A's midterms.
- 2 Her Popularity. Jiro's popularity among the manga readers has gone back and forth. In the first poll, Jiro placed 16th, while the second one saw her take a massive leap in the 7th place.
- 3 Her Name. My Hero Academia's creator, Kohei Horikoshi, is very clever with the names of his characters. As such, Jiro is an exception. Her name is known to include the Kanji for 'ear', which hints towards the placement of her Quirk, Earphone Jack.
- 4 Her Stats. Jiro has quite impressive stats when compared to some of her classmates. While she isn't near the top, she isn't close to the bottom either.
